Hi,
You shouldn't need to change the hardware surface at all, so long as it's
already in its remote control mode (different manufacturers use different
terms for this - native, channel, controller modes are all terms I've seen).
All that this really means is that the device is throwing out MIDI CC
messages. Some surfaces are capable of using RPN and NRPN messages, which
will give you double the resolution compared to a normal CC message and I
can only think of one that can adjust a sysex-based parameter with a fader
(the Kenton Control Freak). However, apart from the resolution issue it
shouldn't matter what the surface is transmitting as ACT has its own Learn
mode and it's that you should be using when setting up your kit.
Best wishes.

Hey Tim!
This is a very cool feature indeed!
I pretty well understand how to make this happend in Sonar but how about
on the control surface end of things?
I have a Yamaha 02R96 console which has a control surface function.It is
connected to my DAW via a USB cable and can pretty well use it to control
assignable parameters in Sonar using the remote control function.
But do you think that the control surface has to be in a special mode to
use the ACT functions, like a learning mode or something?
I'm sure that if I read the clumsy Yamaha manual, I could probably find
something useful but if you could put me in the right direction, i'd
appreciate it.
Regards.
Jean

Active Controller Technology - it maps any automatable parameters within
a soft synth or FX plug-in to the controls on an external hardware control
surface. The clever bit is that, once mapped for a particular plug, the
system automatically activates that mapping every time the plug concerned
comes into the foreground. This means that your control surface is
automatically reconfigured as you move from plug to plug.
Best wishes.

Jason Dassant's going to be covering ACT in his tutorial, but the
short answer is "yes".
Best wishes.

I just read a cool article on act in sound on sound's latest
issue, but of course, it presents everything from the mouse. Is this usable
by blind users from the keyboard? Can I assign controls on my tascam fw1884
to control compressor knobs or delay knobs, etc? I am using caketalking 6
with sonar 6 producer. Is there anything in the CT docs on this?
