Controller/Surface Settings dialog
The Controller/Surface Settings dialog box opens when you click the Add button in Edit >
Preferences > MIDI - Control Surfaces. The Controller/Surface Settings dialog box also opens
when you select a control surface from the Connected Controllers/Surfaces list in the
Controllers/Surfaces dialog box, and then click the Property Page button that’s in the Controllers/
Surfaces dialog box.
The Controller/Surface Settings dialog box has the following fields:
• Control Surface. Use this field to select the control surface that you want to add to the
Connected Controllers/Surfaces list (this option is greyed-out if you open the dialog box with
the Property Page button).
• Input Port. Use this field to select the MIDI port that the control surface will use to send MIDI
control data to SONAR.
• Output Port. Use this field to select the MIDI port that the control surface will use to receive
MIDI control data from SONAR.
