I am sorry. I was not trying to be rude, aggressive and arrogant. 
Did not know that all caps or gigantic font are viewed as screaming and shouting.
Again I am very sorry.

No sweat - I wasn't actually tripping on it, I hadn't seen a font that big in a while - so I just thought I would ask if you could shrink it down some.  
 
Lots of folks do happen to equate large fonts or all caps as shouting, but to me it was really just really really big.
 
So, no problem from my little corner of the planet :)

I SOMETIMES USE BIG VIRTUAL FONTS...

The other day I tried out a virtual onscreen keyboard from a third party in SONAR, there was no "Note Hold" I could just trigger a note on/off is that the way the CakeWalk SONAR Platinum Virtual Keyboard works???

The virtual controller in SONAR is a completely different beast compared to a plugin. It has several advantages over any existing plugin solution. 
 
  • it's a completely integrated native keyboard and exposes a virtual MIDI input port just like a hardware device would do. VST plugins that generate MIDI output are much harder to set up and much less efficient since the routing is not integrated in the host.
  • The MIDI data can be routed to other synths, drum maps etc very easily with no setup required.
  • Focus is completely managed within the application
  • Has full native multitouch support if you have a touch enabled surface.
  • Has keys with an aspect ratio is designed to be very playable on a touch surface.
  • Can be played by both PC keyboard and mouse.
 
It is not supposed to be an arpeggiator or do other functionality since its primarily an input device.

You most certainly do not speak the truth. It's a virtual keyboard. I've been waiting for this since HS 6 XL.

Can you play notes on your PC keyboard while twiddling knobs on a softsynth with the mouse ?

You can hold notes on Sonars' virtual keyboard. It works fairly well.

I have been wanting this also so that I am able to try synth sounds on my home PC. I have mo controller for that PC.
