When you enter DAW-control mode, the M-16DX’s own settings remain
as they were beforehand. When you leave the mode, the physical
positions of the knobs and buttons may therefore no longer reflect the
M-16DX’s current settings. You can move a knob or button, or power
the M-16DX off and on to get things to match up again.
With SONAR/LE, M-16DX DAW control is optimized for SONAR/LE 6.2
or higher. In this booklet, we’ll use in SONAR 7, since it’s the current
SONAR version. (The M-16DX Version 2 software’s M-16DX_v2_e1 PDF
contains instructions for using Alternative mode with earlier versions
of SONAR and SONAR LE.) Likewise, we’ll use Logic Pro 8 here, though
you can also use Logic Pro 7. We’ll explain how to use the M-16DX with
Live 6.
The M-16DX_v2_e1 PDF also includes overlays you can print and attach
to your M-16DX to help you remember its DAW-control functions.

In SONAR/LE, the track that’s selected for DAW control has a colored strip at
its left edge.
You can select the track you want to control in either of two ways:
Select the tracks in SONAR/LE—• by right clicking at the left edge of the
desired track, and highlighting the popup text, as shown here.
Press the M-16DX’s AUX 2 and AUX 1 buttons—• to
select the next or previous, respectively, track.
