Buying Sonitus FX Suite now possible

Good news if like me you only want a few of the plugs and have the studio version of Sonar 3 with the full version of Vsampler...


Cakewalk have re-released the Sonitus:fx Suite (formerly Ultrafunk Sonitus:fx) and it is now available on the Cakewalk web site. Sonitus:fx is a series of professional audio processing tools for digital audio editing, sound design, games, multimedia, film, or studio work, and can be used with any application supporting DirectX or VST effect plug-ins.

All Sonitus:fx plug-ins share the following common features:
A clean and intuitive user interface, similar controls, keyboard shortcuts and toolbar functionality for Bypass, Undo/Redo, A/B Comparison, Parameter Reset, Preset Management, and Help file access.
DirectX plug-in parameter automation
The built-in Preset Manager lets you create and use presets in ALL host applications
The Sonitus:fx Suite includes (plug-ins available individually via download only):

fx:compressor
fx:delay (with tempo sync)
fx:equalizer (parametric)
fx:gate
fx:modulator
fx:multiband (compressor)
fx:phase
fx:reverb
fx:surround
fx:wahwah
You can purchase the entire Cakewalk Sonitus:fx Suite on CD or via download for $299 USD, or individual Sonitus:fx plug-ins via download (individual plug-ins range in price from $19 to $79) by visiting the Cakewalk website, or by calling 888-CAKEWALK (617-423-9004 outside US).

Overpriced?

How good are they?

You get these plugs with PE.

Jeff and Susan,

Nopw that you put it like that, It makes great sense. I stand corrected

ORIGINAL: planist

why not PE?

If I understand your question...my point is if, like me, you do not want to have to upgrade to S3PE just to get the Sonitus plugs you can now buy them separately.

I don't think so, but I could be wrong. thats my question as well though. I see the interest for folks that don't have Sonar. But me personally I would bypass SE and go straight to PE. Especially if your going to later shell out 300.00 more the plugs that were designed specifically for the applaication you already have.

Your right, I see your point. Makes good sense. Itgives you control over not having to many unwanted plugs taking up room that don't ever get used. I should take a page from your book (lol) No seriously it does make good sense man.

Thanks Cato I also have the full version of VSampler (Standalone, VSTi and DXI) so the Producer edition upgrade for me really is not worth it. I would have far too much duplication. I will just hand pick a few Sonitus plugs instead to replace a few DSP - FX plugs in Sonar 3 Studio.

Great Choice man!

It all more revenue for cake.

An excellent bundle for a great price,- I'm sure they'll sell like hotcakes.

hot CAKES - gettit!?


Kind regards

That doesn't make any sense. The difference in price between SE and PE is only 200 bucks. Plus you get the Pantheon Reverb. Seems like a no brainer to me. Get PE

Bingo. Cake's marketing dept. is doing their job well. It's all about targeting a product package to meet an unmet need. cmusicmaker is an example of just such a customer. As long as it's a win-win for that customer preference, then I say more power to Cakewalk for offering it.

I still think that the $199 upgrade is a great deal, though, especially if you don't have the full VSampler (I had VSampler 2.0 full, so I was sort of stuck with an upgrade anyway). Also, doesn't the Lexicon Pantheon reverb also come with more goodies in the PE bundle?

ORIGINAL: terrylittledad
Better than the Lexicon that's included in SE?

The SE edition only includes the LE (Limited Edition?) version of Pantheon. IIRC, it's a "preset" version that doesn't allow as many (any?) parameter tweaks as the full edition.

Mwalter I have Vsampler already the (full version...VSTi/DXi/standalone) not the OEM S3PE (DXi) version that comes with Producer. I also only need the Sonitus EQ and the Multiband compressor so I only need to spend around $100 for what I need.

I can even probably skip the multiband compressor as I have one in Ozone and just get the Sonitus EQ for about $40.

That is a lot less than a $200 upgrade from Studio to Producer!

Not so good news if you live in the UK - you can't buy them direct from Cakewalk and Edirol , the UK distributor, aren't offering them (yet)

This is a constant issue I agree. Hopefully Cakewalk will look into it. We hade the same problem with Kinetic.

Another point about the suite as a whole: it is well integrated and the user interfaces are well-designed. All the controls are very consistent and well-placed across all of the plugs, especially the way that the presets are handled.
