Thanks X! If you ever need my help, feel free to tell me. At least I'm pretty good with doing backing vocals *smile I'll try this out and let you know.

You have to select the oxygen and set it up. You go to options>control surfaces, then add (a button) Select the midi act, and select your oxygen for input port. Close all that, and then in the tools menu the midi act should appear. Pick that, and in the presets list, your oxygen should be listed. If it isn't, let me know and we can try and assign the functions using midi learn.

At least there is 6 buttons that looks like a "tape-recorder". If you know more about this, please please save my day and tell me how do I assign knobs in my controller so that I can make automated events also for audio tracks. Since I have no full-size computer keyboard it would save me lots of time and head-ache.

I ask because on my oxygen, I have 6 dedicated buttons for such things, and they are set to send mmc (midi machine controll) messages. If you have the regular midi messages button, u can change those so that they'll send mmc messages. Then it's just a matter of using the generic cakewalk surface and assigning the controls to mmc. I have the steps written down somewhere. I did it back in sonar 4, though with midi learn and act I'm sure it'll be much easier.

I'm sorry folks, I have one little newbie question *big smile*: can I use the controller's buttons for starting/stopping playback etc? I understood it is possible, or then I'm wrong. The thing I don't understand is how do I do it? And no, I don't mean those buttons used for playing chords, but those little ones above them *smile* And no, it is not just pressing them... I guess the trick is to program them somehow, but how? My "studio" is these days very small and very portable since my normal equipment is still in my old place. So I have just a laptop computer, M-audio fasttrack soundcard and this little keyboard. I have Sonar 8 with CT installed to my laptop. I even don't have full-size computer keyboard, but better small equipment than no equipment at all. Any help is much appreciated! Wish everyone a great day.
