#CONTOUR SHUTTLE PROSTBOX PRO#

Now, the plugin for Sonar is completely un-configurable. Also, everything about it was configurable from within Sonar and the jog/shuttle would work at measure, beat, or tick resolution. I have a v1 of the Shuttle pro, but under Windows 7 or Vista, the control surface plugin that originally came with it was excellent, as it did just what you said - worked when Sonar didn't have the focus.

In fact, it appears that Contour Designs is disavowing all knowledge of having ever made the Shuttle products.ĭoes anybody have Sonar control surface plug in file for the Contour Shuttle Pro V2? It speaks of Sonar V2 as the newest version:Īlso download and run the SONAR control surface plug-in from here. I found the Tech Tipwhich is rather dated.

I need a control surface that will drive Sonar, whether or not Sonar has focus. The biggest problem with the generic mode is that it only works when Sonar has the focus.

It has some 'generic functions' that work with all applications to a limited extent. I have a Shuttle Pro V2, and I would like to use it with Sonar. and not much more, so I wouldn't consider it a control surface, but more of a HUGE mouse. However, that being said, you can use it for PLAY, STOP, REWIND, SHUFFLE/JOG, etc. On the Contour Design site, notice the new 'Medical Mouse' looks exactly like the Shuttle Pro V2? Sheesh. And that shouldn't have ended up a big ashtray. If the Shuttle Pro was a 20 or 30 dollar item, fine.

This is one of those situations where the marketing people go to the backroom deals and forget about the users, and it's the kind of thing I *really* dislike about marketing. It has very limited functionality, there's not updates for it - and as you say, Contour Design basically have disowned it. To me this is one of the biggest mistakes CW did - by co-promoting it to their users.
