For reasons beyond our control, JSonar control surface may not always install correctly. It is, however, very much needed for proper operation of the JSonar scripts.
How do I know that the JSonar control surface is not installed?
Some of the synptoms are:
- JSonar constantly prompts you to run the “runtime set up wizard”.
- When inside the project, JSonar claims that “there are 0 strips”.
- When you check the status of muted, soloed or armed strips, JSonar does not say anything or provides eronious information.
How do I install JSonar control surface manually?
Here are the approaches to reinstall the JSonar control surface without having to reinstall the whole JSonar package:
Method 1
- Rerun the “runtime set up wizard” by pressing Control+Insert+R.
Method 2
- Go to the “Options->Control Surfaces” menu.
- Tab to the list of surfaces and check if it is empty.
- Tab to the button that says “a” (which means “add”) and press ENTER.
- From the combo box that comes up choose “JSonar Control Surface”.
- Tab to the next “input” combo box and make sure that it is set to “none”.
- Tab again to the “output” combo box and make sure it is also set to “none”.
- Tab to the “OK” button and make sure that the “JSonar Control Surface” now appears in the list of surfaces.
- Tab to the “Close” button to exit this dialog box.
