ACT module
Active Controller Technology (ACT) allows you to use a control surface or MIDI controller to control
the plug-in effect or soft synth that has focus. SONAR communicates with control surfaces via
special control surface plug-ins (see “External devices” on page 1323). The ACT module lets you
configure ACT settings for a specific control surface plug-in.
To show/hide the ACT module
Right-click the Control Bar and select ACT Module.
