Arturia SparkLE & Spark 2 - NOT - compatible with Sonar, per OEM

Greetings All,
Having just purchased the new Arturia SparkLE controller and Spark 2 software, I had the stand-alone version working just fine,
but it would not work in Sonar X3e...

I just received an email back from Arturia's Tech Support concerning the new SparkLE controller and Spark 2 software:

"Hi,
Unfortunately our Synths are not compatible with Sonar X3.
Feel free to come back to me if still any problem or misunderstanding.
Yours cordially,
Amine.

Needless to say, even though I have their Laboratory 49 synth - which does work in Sonar -
I do not recommend Arturia to Sonar users!!

Caveat emptor,

I have the entire Arturia V-Collection, and a couple of the VST3 synths also do not work in X3e.  They did seem to work in the X3c or X3d version (not sure which one, but I recall trying them all out at some point, so they worked in one of those).
 
So, I will be giving this remove/install process a go, to only put back the VST2 versions of those synths that don't work as VST 3.
 
I am sure that some future maintenance or a new release will resolve the issues between some of the VST 3 handling between Sonar and Arturia, and the synths themselves are FABULOUS, so I will cheerfully continue to use them.  64-bit processing and great sounds - the fact that some will be VST 2 doesn't bother me in the least.  I really don't do anything whatsoever with VST 3 spec features anyways, so VST 2 is fine.

I have the SparkLE controller, and the Spark2 software in both the stand alone, and in X3e producer, both work fine.

So much for the VST3 vs VST2 -
for the VST option, Spark2 only has VST2.4 in the install... 32 bit and 64 bit.
I installed the 64 bit VST2.4.
 
Like I mentioned - it works fine in stand-alone, but not inside Sonar X3e.
 
So John - What did you do to get Spark2 to recognize SparkLE controller from within Sonar X3e?
 
I'm curious since Arturia essentially just admitted that they know it doesn't work.
 
Thanks,
MG

I bought an Arturia MIDI controller that came with their Analog Lab software last year, I could never get their software to work with Sonar X3 so I ended up returning it (the hardware was broken too). The license is still sitting on my eLicenser rotting away.
Not a big fan of Arturia.

Here's some more info.
 
Im running the following:
Spark 2.1.0
Build 426 (rev: 1c73643) 32 bit
Controller Version: 1.0.0.3
Build date: Dec 2014 10:38:18
 
Seems I run the 32 bit version. Maybe you should try that?

That's great Noel, so there's no issues installing the vst3 64 bit versions now? At least known issues?
