Using Remote Control
This section explains how to assign knobs or sliders on a MIDI controller to
control specific parameters on specific tracks. If you have a control surface
with groups of faders such as a Tascam US-428 or CM Labs MotorMix, see
the online help topic “Working with External Devices.”
SONAR‘s Remote Control function lets you use a MIDI device to remotely
control knobs, buttons, and sliders in the Track and Console views. For
example, you can:
• Use a key on your keyboard to temporarily mute a track
• Work the send level in a bus with your pitch bend wheel
