Active Controller Technology (ACT)—Get
instant hands-on control of all your instruments and effects using
ACT. Grab the knobs and sliders of your MIDI controller and know
that they're going to control your favorite parameters on every
instrument and effect you happen to be using in SONAR—just the way
you want. Setup can be automatic or custom and either way it’s as
simple as pushing a button and twisting controls. ACT takes care of
the rest.
With templates for most MIDI controllers and surfaces, ACT takes the
guesswork out of mapping parameters by automatically doing it for
you in the most logical and commonly used way. You can also
customize ACT for your own workflow—just press the ACT button and
twist knob or push a slider to assign parameters to your controller
or surface.
You can even set controls for each individual effect and instrument.
SONAR automatically remembers which knobs and sliders control what
functions and automatically remaps them for whatever you have on
screen in front of you. You can also lock certain controls to always
be accessed no matter what’s up on screen.
Additionally, you can use ACT to take control of the console view
and mix your projects. Best of all ACT works with the MIDI
Controller or control surface you already own, whether it's an
Edirol PCR series, a VS-700C, or any popular MIDI device. It’s that
easy to get full control of SONAR using ACT. |
|
|
MIDI
Controllers—easily add popular MIDI controllers including
the Edirol PCR series for serious control of your virtual
instruments. Even use ACT to mix your project via a MIDI controller.
|
 |

including those from Edirol, Mackie, Euphonix, and Frontier Design.
Enjoy the best control surface support in the industry.

Control your Project—Keep
your projects organized and your screen clean. Track folders are
perfect for organizing groups of tracks such as drums or strings
which can take up screen space. Know information about each trackt
at a glance with Track Icons. Get around large projects fast with
the Navigator View. |

customization. Create your own keystrokes, Track Templates, UI
appearance, color schemes, plug-in layouts, and more.
