Assigning Faders and Knobs to Control SONAR
Parameters
The Cakewalk Generic Surface property page has separate sections that
control track parameters (the Track Parameters section), plug-in
parameters (the ACT Controls section), and global parameters (the Global
Parameters section).
To Configure Track Parameters
1. In the Cakewalk Generic Surface property page, in the Use ACT or
Strip Params fields, make sure that either the ACT Enable check box is
disabled, or that the Both check box is enabled. If the Both check box is
enabled, your controller/surface is controlling both track and plug-in
parameters.
2. In the Configure Strip Number field, use the dropdown menu to choose
which track strip in the current bank of tracks you want to configure (the
number of tracks in the current bank is listed in the Number of Track
Strips field).
3. If you want to change how many tracks are in a single bank, enter a
new number in the Number of Track Strips field.
4. Click the radio button of the Parameter that you want to configure
(choose from Parameters 1-16).
5. Use the dropdown menu next to the parameter you clicked to choose
exactly what parameter you want to configure.
