Figure 435. The Control Surfaces section
The Control Surfaces section allows you to enable as many control surfaces as you want to control
with SONAR, and configure the control surfaces’ interfaces. You can also configure the WAI display
(Where Am I display) and ACT indicators.
The Control Surfaces section contains the following fields and buttons:
Import ACT Data
You can use ACT with any automatable plug-in. You can create your own mappings by using the
ACT Learn button, but because ACT Learn mappings are stored in XML files, you can also import
XML data that contains predefined parameter mappings for certain plug-ins. These predefined
parameter mappings provide generic “best guess” assignments between the controls on your
surface, and the parameters in the plug-in, which gives you a starting point that you can customize
by using the ACT Learn process.
