Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Hi all -
I know rEalm can do this with Cubase - hell, what can't he do??? - but
has anyone done anything with using the XL to control say volume and
panning for mixing? I have read that it can be difficult to set up a
"generic" control surface so any info would be greatly appreciated.
thx

>>>Can't speak for Sonar specifically, but since the XX-7's send standard 
CC's for volume and pan (#7 and #11 respectively), I can't imagine this 
would be too hard.  If it turns out to be difficult but doable, let me 
know and I'll add it to the FAQ. <<<

Could you explain what you are trying to do?  I finally got a machine 
to run Sonar 3 but haven't gotten around to designing control 
surfaces.  It is something I might like to do.

I saw those e-kazoo's listed for sale on e-bay, but I thought i was a 
joke!!!  Do you have one? (or more?)  Does it have pitch to midi 
conversion?

LOL, I was just kidding....

Well, I did some quick research and found the Kazooka Home Page.  
Unfortunately, it doesn't have midi.  :-(

As a former kazoo, jaw harp, and washtub bass player, I regret that 
the MMA never seriously advocated for the development of a midified 
kazoo!

I have just started teaching myself Sonar 3. I took a look at the 
generic control surfaces, had trouble with the tutorial, and had two 
phone conversations with tech support.  I will try some testing over 
the next few days and might be able to test a setup that meets your 
needs and gives me some ideas for my own use of control surfaces.

For starters, (1) what hardware controls in the E-Mu do you want to 
have control in Sonar and (2) what do you want them to control?

--Steve

BTW: So far I figured out three things in Sonar 3:

(1) To asign control surfaces:
--(a) Click Options | Control Surfaces
--(b) Click the Yellow +
--(c) Select Cakewalk Generic Surface
--(d) Select Input and Output Ports
[This assumes you already have your midi devices identified via 
Options | Midi Devices.]

(2) To put a Control Surfaces drop down menu on the tool bar:
--(a) Click View | Toolbars
--(b) Select Control Surface
[Once you have done this, you have an icon shortcut to the Control 
Surfaces Properties--where you do the set up.]

(3) To open the Control Surface Setup Dialog
--Method 1:
--(a) Select the surface in the toolbar display. (See (2) above.)
--(b) Click the Properties icon
--Method 2:
--(a) Click Tools
--(b) Select the surface you want to set up. (Step (1) above adds 
them to the Tools menu.)

I got a little further, but not ready to spell out the details.

Succesful tests:  

(1) I created a test control surface as follows:
MidiA -> MidiI (knobs) control the volume of midi tracks 1 - 9 
respectively.

(2) I recorded the automation of:
MidiA -> MidiI [E-Mu] controlling the volume changes [Sonar].
[2 tests conducted: midi, digital audio]

I will see if I can duplicate my methodology tomorrow.

Off the topic, but where can I find a cakewalk instrument definition for the PX7 or the Protean Drums Rom?
