USING THE MPD26 WITH SONAR
This Preset designed for use with Sonar. By using different MIDI Ports, it allows use of both MIDI Machine Control from the MPD26's
transports, and also provides a good amount of controls for use with Sonar's ACT Midi Controller.
To use the MPD26 transport controls in sonar, do the following:
1. Select Options / Control Surfaces.
2. Press the Add New Control Surface button
3. Choose MMC for control surface, and choose USB AUDIO DEVICE for in and out ports.
4. Press the Add New Control Surface button
5. Choose ACT MIDI Controller, and choose USB AUDIO DEVICE [2] for in and out ports.
6. Press OK.
With this preset, controls from the MPD26's knobs will be sent on port B, and the keyboard, mod wheel etc, will be sent on port A,
allowing you to simultaneously record midi keyboard performances and automation with the Sonar ACT MIDI Controller. Knobs 9-12 in
banks A and B send standard midi controllers to Port A for use with Non-ACT Compatible Plugins.
