I had 2 (SONAR Plt) crashes yesterday, when trying to use change velocity on a  SI String section midi clip using clip fx / velocity. Have not done it that way before, so I am not sure whether it was user error, or not.

All solid here as well... as per usual.
 
As far as updating the "what's next" page - personally I look forward to seeing what feature or tool replaces Drum Replacer as the next big thing.
 

They made some "fixes" to the playlist that made it unusable for me. Already reported it. Rollback works great.

It's installed now (main program... still haven't installed the extra content but it's d/l'd). Not gonna get to rip it apart today but I am indeed a "Dorkchester" now.
 
Cheers and thanks for the input, guys.

Really bold of Cake to do "What's next", rather alone doing that.
And TBH, I'm not sure it's smart from a sales point of view.
 
"What's New" though will always impress - it's what most get in a year every month, not far from.
And also show dedication on doing fixes etc.
 
Sales psychology is more about building imagination and dreams forward, expectations and so on.
We might think we want all the facts, but really, we don't....
 
but as Manuel in Faulty Towers used to say
- I know noooooooooooothing....

No real issues here Beep. I've been trying it out on 2 different systems and the only problems I've had are all related to Rapture Pro (exceptionally long time to load, occasionally white-screening)

I'm having the same problem with Rapture Pro, load times currently are making this instrument unusable for me.  I contacted support, still waiting to hear back.

Hi, Jonesey (and bz)... I'm sticking with the old versions of Dim/Rap so that's not a concern. I'm actually thinking I made the right choice now by waiting for this release based on this thread and just looking at the forum vibe. I'll probably squat on this one for a few months as well and see what comes down the pipe. The new monthly additions are nice but I've got so much now it's doubtful I'll really NEED any new stuff and I mostly just want things as stable/problem free as possible. Honestly I think X3 was a little more stable than Braintree but it had some really annoying quirks that affected my personal workflow that Platinum fixed so it was a bit of an even trade (more hangs/crashes but saved time/annoyance by the bugs being gone). If Dorchester resolves those core instability issues so I can push it harder worry free without annoying issues (like the CB bug that wasn't a big deal but I didn't want to deal with it and some of the other Cambridge compaints) then that is awesome.
 
I didn't really play with it too much yesterday but did check out the Virtual Keyboard. It confused me a little at first but once I figured it out it was extremely responsive which is a good sign for stability (especially with a new and kind of complex feature). I was just using it to trigger AD2 (which was the only synth I had loaded in my tester project) but it was automatic, snappy and just worked. No latency or weird routing.
 
One thing that seems to have really improved is related to the new FX "Rack" (as opposed to the old Bin... kind of weird they changed the name but whatever). I used to get some quirks, hangs and even hard crashes/corruptions when Ctrl/Drag copying VSTs from track to track. I have to do this often with my multitracked/layer guits and it always caused a bit of anxiety because I knew that bad stuff could happen.
 
Now things just drag and drop trouble free. It's faster (it used to be a little hesitant even when it was working now it is smooth as silk). It's obvious there is something going on under the hood with all that that is just more stable/reliable. I would still like them to allow us to simply link our VST instances so I don't have to constantly do that but the fact I don't have to hold my breath while doing it is nice.
 
And that freaking horrendous jumping bug in X3 that made it so when you clicked between tracks with lanes open it would jump to the parent track (instead of keeping focus on what you were looking at) being gone has saved me an ENORMOUS amount of time and angst. That drove me up the freaking wall. lol
 
Anyway... just blathering about my experiences so far. I actually did some REAL work recently for an actual client (which is now completed) so I've been working a lot with SPlat... just haven't been really posting about it all because all my brainspace was going into that instead of boring you guys.
 
But... I'm baaaaaaack. lulzity
 
Cheers.

There are definitely more pluses with Dorchester than minuses. I hope those two regression bugs get fixed in the next release. The track templates issue is killing me. There are also a number of track templates issues reported in the problem reports forums.

Mostly working fine here though I continue to have frequent crashes on my main DAW...

Something new for me. I don't recall the last time Sonar was so crash prone for me...
