Rick, I understand ACT better than I care to. I was a pioneer getting this to work and as far as I know there is only three people in the world who have accomplished this feat of getting an 01v96 to work as a control surface for Sonar and it was a long and drawn out arduous process. Sonar and Yamaha do not talk. Maybe later versions of Sonar have changed this but I doubt you will find much Yamaha gear listed in ACT currently; I could be wrong. > Assuming it has the capabilities, I suspect the reason it isn't configured > is more a thing of age of the board and demand for it for that purpose > than any active anti-Yamaha conspiracy. ;-) The board is the bomb in a good way and still *currently* one of the most popular boards to buy at around $2400.00 and with the ADAT expansion card and another $500.00 for a total of 24 ins and out for just under 3 grand. Teddy uses one as well. <g> Colonel Cody had one and maybe still does. I have the old one also just sitting around in a box so if anyone wants to buy it, it is in great shape. I will reiterate these are wonderful boards and great for live playing since you have full scenic recall ability. <g>

I am telling you it took a special .dll file that was created by a programmer and there was a long and arduous process getting it to work and isn't as simple as you portend it to be. When I get there again, I will post the steps. Rick I am a member of the 01v96 Yahoo newsgroup with 898 members. I was one of the founding fathers of the original group called 01v which transferred to this new one five or six years ago. Many Sonar users are there and for years everyone said that this board would not work in Sonar until I put all of the pieces together after this programmer who created this dll file found a way to do it. I made my findings known there and at Cakewalk. Nobody had done it before this programmer did and he was some guy somewhere out on the internet that I found with a ton of luck. Now why in the world would Sonar not integrate this popular board? It is YAMAHA,.... CUBASE,..... NUENDO. Get it. I have been over this with Cakewalk as well and they were in denial, couldn't help me and I got pissed. I still am. It took me days over repeated time frames to accomplish this feat. Also, Roland and Yamaha do indeed have a little war going on. So does Honda and Toyota and Honda is currently winning in the battlefield. I however have been a conscientious objector. Thanks!

"Rick Paul" If ACT is requiring some special programming, it suggests that the board isn't sending MIDI controls ACT can use, or isn't presenting a MIDI interface, so something has to go in between what it is sending to make it look like a more generic device. Yes but in Cubase and Nuendo no problem,... and my point. <g> |
