Softube - Console 1

I was scanning the Softube website and was interested in the new Console 1, but one of the known issues states that it is not recommended to be used with Sonar X3 because of the way VST's are implemented. Softube suggests waiting for the upcoming release of Sonar X4 as these issues will be resolved.
I guess I'm wondering what is different about the way in which Sonar implements VST's that is different to other DAWs. Is it the Pro Channel they are talking about, or there other ways in which Sonar differs from other DAWs in regards its implementation of VSTs.
Also, is there going to be a major overhaul in the implementation of VST's in X4, and what can we expect to be different? I guess it's probably too early for anyone to know the answer to this question, but if Softube has this information then I guess it is out there.

A couple of points.  First, the softube Console is specifically designed to work w/ softube software and is mapped for their stuff.  Esp. the SSL emulations that come w/ the console.  Using it as a genric controller would be a crapshoot, I'd think.  Not a knock on Softube - their software is good and the console is designed to take mapping advantage out of the box.  Other software, well, you would have to map it like any other hardware controller.
 
Cakewalk has ... relationship ... w/ Softube, and tho they haven't (and never really announce stuff early), it wouldn't surprise me if they are working w/ Softube about 4, perhaps in general VST 3 implementation, maybe adding some of their software units, perhaps adapting the Console for SONAR 4.  Who knows?  Peavy did their first hardware console, I think.  Of course Cake has Gibson/Tascam, so that is unlikely.  But working w/ Softube software, yes.  Maybe adding the mix bundle as a Pro feature or something like that.
 
As for the problems w/ working w/ SONAR 3, I expect 4 to be out soon.  I'd wait until then.  But then I try to be a later adaptor for actual work.

... I don't see how a 3rd party developer would have any special information regarding any more than perhaps a general comment from Cakewalk that we will look into a particular matter at our next release but that would be expected in any case with the next version of any product.

We work closely with quite a few 3rd party developers. Like [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED].

As to changes in X4, there's beeen no word from Cakewalk on when X4 is likely to be released but there has been plenty of speculation.

I spoke with [REDACTED] at AES last Friday (10/10/14).  He was understandably evasive about what would actually be in X4, but would say that they were expecting it to be released "by the end of the year".  By that, I'll assume that he meant 2014.
 
I also spoke with Tara.
She wouldn't tell me anything.

I blame the forum Hosts. I bet it was [REDACTED] that did it..

Wait, is "redacted" what you're typing for funsies or was there actual company names there that got, er, redacted?

No...it was Dan Gonzales...but REDACTED seemed to be the ID of the day.

resurrecting this...
 
Has anyone tried to use or is using console 1 with Sonar. I've given up on ever owning a big desk and this thing is apparently a pretty good compromise.

I've been using it on and off to mix my tunes without any problems.
