Cakewalk Sonar Control Lite

Overview

Free edition. Control Cakewalk Sonar from your Stream Deck and Stream Deck +, over MIDI through Sonar's built-in Mackie Control surface. Transport keys (play, stop, record, loop, rewind / fast forward, metronome) and track keys (arm, mute, solo, select) light up with Sonar's real state. On Stream Deck +, each dial becomes a track fader with the track name, a live level meter and R / S / M state on screen, and the jog dial moves through the project with Sonar's counter. Includes Sonar's essential shortcuts (undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, select all, save) and ready-made profiles. Interface in English, French and Spanish. Requires Windows and loopMIDI (free). The Pro edition adds all 99 Mackie Control functions, 195 Sonar shortcuts and custom shortcuts.
