Will patch points work with MIDI tracks?  Doesn't look like it, but I really would love to be able to send one MIDI track to multiple soft synths.  And combine MIDI tracks without having to use a MIDI loopback device.  If not now, perhaps in the future?
 
These new features really do push the need for sub-folders as well.

Thanks Craig, I just scanned the e-zine, sorry to be so lazy. For me, this update is the best so far. I encourage everyone to read Jimmy's article about real life work with Sonar, It's brilliant. Good work Mr. Landry.




I found that Landry article very interesting too ampfixer. There actually seem to be some very talented musicians at Cakewalk. Noel is a fine guitarist and it seems Keith Albright is a Juilliard graduate. 
 
Looking through the update release notes: will we need traditional buses anymore? The new patch paths and aux tracks seem more flexible.

From ezine:
 
Deleting a track will not remove associated Patch Points, so that undo and redo can
work. However, loading a project removes any unused patch points.
 
So will from Sonar menu - Edit -> History-> Clear (Undo history) remove unused patch points?

How do the Aux Track colors work?  I'm assuming it's not like "Follow Buses".  Having them a different color will be a must.

Oh yeah, great job Cakers!

Hopefully we'll be getting more from Jimmy...[hey Jimmy, take a hint
 
I also hope other Cakewalk users who've done interesting projects will contribute some "Anatomy of a Project" articles. The one planned for next month is on using SONAR to do narration, which will complement the September eZine "Anatomy of a Project" on creating music beds for videos.
