I am using the 60 day trial to decide whether to upgrade from X3 Producer and have downloaded the new Platinum update. It seems to have a bug in the new version which wasn't there in the old one (or X3 Producer).
 
Drag a MIDI file into Sonar with nothing else loaded. Add Cakewalk TTS-1 (MIDI Source, First Synth Audio Output).
Select all the MIDI tracks and then click on the Tracks drop down and "Selected Track Outputs...". Under MIDI outputs it should show Cakewalk TTS-1 and my MIDI interface but the list is empty. Also note that Cakewalk TTS-1 is available on each channel's individual output selector.

Also the new version is now finding 209 plugins (was 258 and still is 258 in X3 Producer).



Check preferences to make sure all your appropriate plug-in folders are being scanned.

Dear Cakewalk -- please bring back the crossfade tool to the parent track. This should be your top priority for improving work flow. Second would be to bring back the envelope selection shortcut menu when right-clicking the parent track. Third, please fix the bug where automation randomly stops being read, requiring the project to be closed and reloaded. This bug has existed since V8.53.

Not sure what to tell you about the TTS-1 issue, you may want to let Sonar make a new AUD.INI rather than importing your settings from X3. However, the plugin count question is a fix that was put into Platinum during the middle of last year that stopped counting certain plugins more than once. I always knew my plugin count was too high, but never bothered to validate it because the plugins I wanted to use were all visible.

Thanks Anderton and dcumpian,
 
I probably didn't make it clear that Sonar X3 Producer and the trial of Sonar Platinum both worked identically and correctly with respect to this issue. It was only when I updated the Platinum trial to version 2016.03 yesterday that these problems started. 


So these issues are new with version 2016.03 and weren't there for the previous version. The settings imported from X3 by the initial version of the Platinum trial worked fine and the problems only surfaced when going from Platinum (2016.02 I'm guessing) to 2016.03 using command centre.

I get little buzz sounds when I click on ProChannel EQ buttons and controls.
I downloaded the file SONAR_Platinum_Setup_22.3.0.71B
Did I get the Beta version?

Latest Command Center still fails to download Sonar for me. Just quits downloading. No reason, no loss of connectivity, it just sits waiting on more, or gives up without timing out. There's no resilience or apparent connection intelligence built in, it seems. Downloading from the store.

Hey Folks

I'm on Platinum and did the latest update, and am not finding AAS Ultra synth.

Is this a DX instrument or VST? I did a manual VST scan and still can't find it.

Thanks,

Stephen

I believe you need to run the Platinum Instruments upgrade to see the new AAS synth.
