Setup
ForSonarcompatibility,theFW1082comeswithacontrolsurfacepluginthatis
compatiblewith Sonar3.1b &higheron WindowsXP/SP1&higher.
Install thepluginfromtheCDROM.
OpentheFW1082controlpanelandselectNativeModefromtheControlProtocoldrop
downmenuundertheSettingstab.
Next, opentheControlSurfaceswindowundertheOptionsmenuin Sonar,addanew
surfacebyclickingtheyellowstar,selecttheFW1082ControlSurfacethen assignitto
FW1082Control. ClickOK.

ControlDetails
GenerallytheFW1082’ssurfacecontrolswillfunctionasexpected,controllingtheirlike
parametersin Sonar.Forexample:Faders,Mutes,SolosandTransportControlwill
controlthoseparametersin Sonar.Exceptionsandspecificdetailsfollow:

TransportWheel
· Turnthedatawheelclockwisetojogforwardorcounterclockwisetojog
backward.
· WhentheSHTLkeyisoff,thedatawheelmovesthetransportinonemeasure
steps.HoldingtheSHIFTkey reducesthistoonebeatsteps.
· WhentheSHTLkeyison,thedatawheelmovesthetransportin1000ticksteps.
HoldingtheSHIFTkeyreducesthisto100ticksteps.

SELectKeys
PressinganFW1082SELectkeyalonewillselectthatchannelin Sonar.Holding
SHIFTwhilepressingSELectsetsthatchannel’sfadertoUnityinSonar.
HoldingtheredRECkey whilepressingaSELectkeywillrecordenable/disablethat
track.

Pan&EQ
WhentheEQ/PANLEDisilluminated:
· Thelowestofthefourencodersshownat
rightwillcontrolthePanparameterofthe
SELectedchannelin Sonar.
· TheencoderslabeledasGAIN,
FREQuencyandQwillcontrolthose
parametersoftheEQbandselectedbythe
illuminatedbuttonsontheSELected
channelin Sonar. Bands14ofSonar’s
ChannelEQissupported.
· ThefirsttimeanEQBandkeyispressed,
itselectstheappropriatelowerband,
pressingthesamebuttonagainselectsa
higherband.Inthisway,uptoeight
bandscanbecontrolled.(Note:The
SonarChannelStripEQdoesnotsupport
externalcontrolofmorethanfourbands.)
· HoldingSHIFTwhilepressinganEQ
bandkeywillenable/disablethatEQ
band.
· HoldingtheSET keywhilepressingan
EQbandkeywilltogglethroughthe
availableEQcurvetypes.
SonarcancomewithuptothreetypesofEQ,
dependingontheversionyouhave.TheFW1802canbesettocontrolanyofthethree:
· HoldtheEQ/PANkeywhilepressingoneofthetopthreeEQbandbuttonsto
selectanEQ:
o EQHI=ChannelStripSonitus
o EQHIMID=PluginSonitus
o EQLOMID=PluginFXEQ
Aux
WhenAUX14orAUX58isilluminated:
· Thefourencoderscontrolthelevelof AuxSends1–4 orAuxSends5–8 ofthe
SELectedchannelin Sonar.
· HoldingSHIFTwhileturningandencoderwilladjustthatAuxSendPan.
· ThefourkeystoggleAuxSend1–4enable/disableorAuxSend1–5
enable/disableoftheSELectedchannelin Sonar.
· HoldingSHIFTwhilepressingoneofthefourkeystogglesthePre/Ppoststatefor
thatAuxSendoftheSELectedchannelin Sonar.
