I know that they are making this one now,or something,but how long till they release it?It is way overdue.And yes I have 3 midi controllers,but sometimes I play at starbucks and do not want to bring my "mini" midi keyboard.So any thoughts on when this will happen?

An "Onscreen Keyboard" seems to be in the pipeline. But I'm not sure this will be a real QWERTY keyboard.
 
In the meantime, maybe take a look at third party qwerty keyboards like http://tanageraudioworks.com/chirp.php

Thanks,Ill try it,I downloaded two different ones and some virtual midi program but cannot get it to work.And second what do you mean it wont be a qwerty keyboard?!Then what the hell are they making it for,I hope your wrong cause that is going to piss me off super bad,I have midi keyboards,four to be exact,two are small enough to take to starbucks but one is broken,it would be easier sometimes if I could have an easy to use qwerty keyboard(which almost every other DAW has,just to trigger my synths and things.I love Sonar but they are way behind on this.

I downloaded the 'chirp" one and chose the internal midi in and out in sonar preferences,opened the keyboard and followed the instructions in the manual but it isnt working.I am using it in parallel desktop running windows 7 64 bit,am I missing something?
