Using Remote Control
This section explains how to assign knobs or sliders on a MIDI controller to control
specific parameters on specific tracks. If you have a control surface with groups of
faders such as a Tascam US-428 or CM Labs MotorMix, see the online help topic
“Working with External Devices.”
SONAR‘s Remote Control function lets you use a MIDI device to remotely control
knobs, buttons, and sliders in the Track and Console views. For example, you can:
• Use a key on your keyboard to temporarily mute a track
• Work the send level in a bus with your pitch bend wheel
• Set the main volume levels with NRPN messages
• Prevent SONAR from sending any controller messages to your MIDI device.
• Record automation from an external controller
If you set up remote control for a grouped control, the remote control works all
controls in the group.
