"Timeline Zoom, that's another thing we've got in SONAR X1" - Brandon in emusician demo

Did he hover the mouse over the time ruler and use the scroll wheel? It happens so fast I can't tell what  he's doing.

See http://emusician.com/videos/aes_2010/cakewalk_sonar_x1/, about 6 minutes in.
This is probably the best demo of X1 I've seen so far. 

Indeed,

I really also like the "menu functions" per active window. Everything seems so much more streamline and organized properly.

Definitely an improvement, but I hope we don't lose the ability to customize menus. I already have custom right click menus for every area of the program that are very clean and concise compared to the 8.5 defaults.

+1 This video was by far the best so far, and I am starting to get a little excited and less cynical that we are 'only' getting a GUI update. Some of those GUI features look like big time savers.

Did anyone else think they saw handles on the data in the controller pane of the PRV? I hope so, as the existing controllers are really tough to 'grab' unless you draw over them with pencil tool.

You can do this right now, in Sonar 8.5.3.  No need to wait for X1 :-)
 
 

Indeed, you are right about that. I had forgotten about the option to turn them on!

In the video, I thought I saw handles on the velocity pane now as well, but alas upon watching again, its still the same as it is now in 8.5 - no handles.  I think handles for controllers such as CC and NRPN have been available for a couple versions, but what I was really hoping for were handles for velocity as well, since the pencil tool is no joy. You wouldn't happen to know a setting I may have missed that will give me the same handles for velocity?

The thing I noticed that has been an aggravation that has been fixed is the clip/automation envelopes move with the clip.  When he did the cut and move all the original automation went with it.  Nice!
