Hi,

Many of our customers do order the Behringer B-Control Fader BCF2000 from
us.  It's fairly accessible right out of the box and integrates well with
CakeTalking.  See our page at:

Subject: [ddots-l] Control Surface

Hello all.

I have a few questions regarding a control surface. I will be purchasing
sonar 8.5 producer in a few weeks and was wondering which control surface
would be the best to get? Does the control surface control different
elements of a soft synth such as the filters and other sound effects, or do
you need something else to do that like a mixer? If you didn't buy a control
surface would it be much harder to produce music in Sonar? Or would the
control surface eliminate the need to learn hundreds of keyboard commands?
Also, if you weren't happy with a pre set in one of the soft synths and you
wanted to tweek it, how would you do that? Can you do that with the control
surface or would you have to get a mixer? How big are control surfaces
anyway, do they take up a huge amount of space? Also, if I get a control
surface do I need an aditional audio interface or sound card to use sonar?
or is the control surface the actual audio interface? I've heard of the
control surface roland vs700 but are all control surfaces accessible with
caketalking and jaws? 

Any help with this would be much appreciated as I want to purchase the right
equipment first and not having to go through a lot of trouble if I bought
something, and then realise it doesn't work or it's not accessible, and
since I still don't fully understand how a control surface works. I will
also get onto dancing dots about this as well.

Kind regards,

Josh
