Noel Borthwick [Cakewalk]
As Ryan indicated there were issues fixed with MIDI out. There was a well defined deadlock that *was* fixed in X3 as well as crashes related to MIDI out. So saying nothing was done in this area is grossly inaccurate.
There is a residual issue still on our radar with how MIDI echo is handled in combination with MIDI out VST's. I'm assuming that that is the residual problem that you still see and we will continue to investigate it.

Noel, I'm not denying that issues have been fixed. Since I can't test X3c, I'm relying on information I've been gathering from various threads. That tells me the main issues have not been fixed, as described in CWBRN-1336 and CWBRN-2504. These are:
 

1. Crosstalk into unrelated tracks while recording and there are VSTis that have Enable MIDI Out turned on.
2. Sonar crashes when more than one VSTi have Enable MIDI Out turned on and they send MIDI notes out at the same time.

 
Point #1 has been confirmed by swamptooth here. However I must admit I'm not 100% sure he talks about the MIDI crosstalk from VSTis into other tracks, but from all indications that is what he is talking about.
 
Point #2 has been confirmed to still be reproducible by both you and Lance Riley. CWBRN-2405 doesn't mention Jamstix. It mentions Catanya. Maybe Jamstix doesn't cause Sonar to crash anymore, but we know Catanya still does. So how do you justify closing it as fixed then? I think it is a fair question.
 
Sorry for repeating myself, but it seems everyone wants to re-write history and also claim that bugs have been fixed that clearly were not. This whole thing has been incredibly frustrating for me, and to have to keep repeating myself to prevent this from being swept under the rug due to incorrect bug report closures is also quite frustrating.
 
I have not been using Sonar as my DAW for a few years now, but seeing the emails that the bugs that caused me endless headaches have been "fixed" piqued my interest. I was interested to start using Sonar again but I wanted to confirm these issues have been addressed since they are showstoppers for my required workflow. However they clearly have not been addressed.
 
I hope you understand my frustration, I'm not trying to be difficult.

Yup and again SilkTone brilliant job, looks like you are now (finally!) in a position to move this one forward with Cake.

Cake should say thanks so much silktone for putting so much time into this and we are going to get this resolved and it has been moved to high priority.

This is one of those things that should just work and not require tons of crashes and then giving up and then looking for a solution outside of cakewalk or moving to something like bidule that does proper midi routing.

At this point, please just get it working, that would do much to heal all wounds.

Not trying to be negative or create any bad vibes, just want it fixed please.

Thanks

Realy hope the efforts of Silktone and the upfront engagement from cake mean this bug gets fixed in an upcoming patch. Be great to put this to bed and finally use Sonar midi out from more than one vsti.
