David,
Yes, the Cakewalk control surface SDK is open source and available to
anyone. Here is the link I sent to John with all of the information to get
one started:
https://github.com/Cakewalk/Cakewalk-Control-Surface-SDK
This is the latest SDK from Cakewalk. The JSonar scripts used an earlier
version. I believe that you can compile the control surface into a DLL
using Visual Studio 2013 (which Cakewalk recommends) and then grab all of
the methods and properties of the control surface through objects via the
JAWS scripts.

Is this control service open? Does Sonar make it available for all of its
customers? It would be nice if everyone had access to it and its
documentation. Especially if the UI is being defined.
I'd be willing to get my hands dirty in a UI wrapped around Sonar's API.Let
me know what you need help with.
Best,
David

There aren't any scripts to test yet. John's just getting the ins and
outs of the control surface under his hands now. That's the JAWS
scripting part of it. He's trying to get straight what to tell the
control surface, and how to understand what it's telling him back when
he gives it things to do. So far there's literally nothing to test.
It's the equivalent of him designing the tool which will help him
design the scripts.

That's wonderful
I wish I could test these scripts out, I can't seem to get an answer
from anybody, here I sit with my fully appointed test machine, but with
no demo code, I can't do a thing till I get my jaws.
I mean, I have my code for my serial number,
and I was under the impression I could test with the demo,
I've written to rishi
and John,
but I guess everyone's too busy.
Or maybe my messages aren't getting through,
is there ir is there not a way to test with a demo copy of jaws till my
jaws gets here?

John reports the 32- and 64-bit control surface DLL's are ready for
use! Now all he has to do is figure out the interface between us and
the functions the control surface library can call, and the data which
these functions return and how it should be displayed/presented to us
verbally. The concept of a control surface is the basis of the old
CakeTalking product, and it's where a large portion of the development
and testing for X3 and Platinum access will occur. In fact, many of
the things John has already worked on will be rewritten because the
control surface makes performing those functions easier and more
reliable, so there will be less actual script code needed.
