Just sort of figured this out and thought I'd post because I could find NOTHING germane on the net about this.
After you make your MIDI connections and set parameters according to TMD1000 manual instructions, you MUST assign MMC as a control surface in Sonar (in my case Sonar 3.11). It is in the dropdown list [ OPTIONS - CONTROL SURFACES - MMC]. Until I did that last step I got no response whatsoever.
I don't have it working perfectly. I have a constant blinking "error - MMC - System not closed" on the mixer. I thought I closed the system ( MIDI In and MIDI OUT) but maybe it's because Sonar isn't transmitting right, or at all to the mixer.
Also it seems the MMC buttons on the mixer are arbitrary because any one of them will PLAY the tracks REW, F FWD,
STOP it doesn't seem to matter. I hit rewind and it rewinds AND starts playing back. I often have to press them more than once too. But it works.. a little, and that's better than nothing.
If anyone is using MMC on a Tascam TM-D1000 to run ANY software (not hardware) like Sonar, Cubase, anything, I would appreciate some pointers.
I'm trying to use the mixer in my recording room as a transport control for Sonar. The computer is in the next room.
