Owner’s Manual

Sonar

For Sonar compatibility, a Sonar-compatible version
of Mackie Control emulation mode is available.

Put the US-2400 into its Sonar version of Mackie
Control emulation mode:

With the unit in standby mode (

POWER

puls-

ing), press and hold the master

SEL

key and

the

AUX 2

key. Then press the

POWER

key to

enter Sonar Mackie Control emulation mode.

Note that Windows shows the US-2400 as a generic

USB Audio Device

with

[2]

[3]

and

[4]

appended to that name to show the second & third
fader bank and joystick.

Be sure these MIDI Ports are enabled in the

MIDI

Device

window under the

Options

menu (see

above).

Each bank of eight faders represented by a US-2400
MIDI port should be assigned as a Mackie Control
Surface or Mackie Control Extender (XT) in Sonar
by accessing the Control Surfaces window under the
Options menu. Configure three Mackie Control sur-
faces as shown below, each one assigned to a differ-
ent US-2400 MIDI port.

Setting up the controls

Now the Mackie Con-

trols should be set inside Sonar:

From the

Tools

menu, select the

Mackie

Control

window:

Click the

Configure Layout

button on the

lower right of the window. It changes to

Press

Again When Done

Press and hold the

F-KEY

and

SHIFT

keys of

the US-2400, and press and release the master

SEL

key.

Complete the configuration by pressing the
on-screen

Press Again When Done

button.

Close this window. Your US-2400 is now con-
figured for use with Sonar.

Control details

Generally the US-2400’s surface controls will func-
tion as expected, controlling their named parameters
in Sonar.

For example, faders,

MUTE

and

SOLO

keys and the

transport controls will control those parameters in
Sonar. Exceptions and specific details follow:

Encoders

These default to controlling the channel Pan.

When an

AUX

key is pressed, Aux sends are avail-

able (see “Auxiliary send levels” on page 11).

When

CHAN

is pressed, the encoders send generic

MIDI controller messages as described in “MIDI
Controller Mode” on page 12.
