Cakewalk Generic Surface plug-in
The Cakewalk Generic Surface Plug-in supports both ACT and WAI. See “The WAI display” on page
1344, and “ACT” on page 1346 for more information.
After you have connected your controller/surface (including loading the correct memory preset in
your controller/surface’s memory), and selected the
Cakewalk Generic Surface plug-in in Edit >
Preferences > MIDI - Control Surfaces (see “Setting up control surfaces” on page 1326 if
necessary), open the Cakewalk Generic Surface property page.
To open the Cakewalk Generic Surface property page
1. In the Control Bar’s ACT module, make sure that Cakewalk Generic Surface appears in the
drop-down menu. If Cakewalk Generic Surface is not available in the drop-down menu, see
“Setting up control surfaces” on page 1326.
2. Click the Open Control Surface Plug-in button in the ACT module. You can also double-
click the WAI display of the Cakewalk Generic Surface plug-in.

Loading Cakewalk Generic Surface presets
SONAR contains preset mappings for most controllers/surfaces. Before creating a set of mappings
from scratch, load one of the preset mappings for your controller/surface and see if you like it. Even
if the preset doesn’t meet all of your needs, it is usually a good base for creating your own presets.
To load a preset
1. At the top of the Cakewalk Generic Surface property page, in the Presets field, click the drop-
down arrow that is at the right edge of the Presets box to display the menu of built-in presets.
2. Find the name of your controller/surface. There may be several versions of presets for your
controller/surface, if your controller/surface has multiple presets.
3. Click one of the versions. If there are no versions for your controller/surface, see “Assigning
faders and knobs to control SONAR parameters” on page 1334.
Try out the available presets for your controller/surface. If you want to edit one of them, first save it
under a new name: type a new name for it in the Presets window, and then click the
Save button
that’s next to the Presets box.
Note: To use ACT with the Cakewalk Generic Surface property page, you need to first assign
the knobs and controls on your controller/surface to radio buttons 1-9 and A-G in the ACT
Controls section of the property page, and save these assignments as a new preset. See “To
Use ACT with the Cakewalk Generic Surface” on page 1335.
