Are there any plans to do something like VST expression in the piano roll view?
 
It would be nifty to assign CCs/values and note on values, at least, to labels/notation to select particular articulations with some VST instruments (I am thinking Kontakt orchestral instruments mostly).
 
Oh, and for the record, I do like the new pattern painter.  Very useful.

I second this. I find doing expressions in my scoring software, Overture, to be iffy. Some times I have to export the staves in MIDI and then import into Sonar (replicating the VSTs and effects) and manually edit controller settings. Then export as MIDI and load back into Overture and pray. Not very musical behavior. I'm open for ideas on how I might streamline this, if possible.

Guys, I have a problem!!!
 
Sonar Artist doesn't work with ROLAND TRI-CAPTURE, Is there anything I can do??? 

Open up your own thread so people can help you there.

A quick Google search shows that it comes with SONAR X1 LE. That said it seems to me that it should work. I would post a new thread as mudgel suggests. Someone on the board may be able to help. Best of luck.

Hello Andrew,
 
Thanks for getting back to me about my problem. I checked my account and my e-mail is registered with my account. I've also tried signing out, clicking on the e-mail link and then signing in, selecting the upgrade for $149 button and I still just get the £30 off not the Intro price. If I ring you will I get charged the international rate for the call?
 
Thanks
 
Liam
 

Hi Andrew! Hi Cakewalk Staff!
 
I'm a very satisfied Sonar user and have no issues with paying $200/year to keep it that way, but there are 2 things that worry me (and I hope you can comment on this) ...

• Several people have asked about the continued support for control surfaces, especially the VS-700 ... but there was no reply. Can we expect that you keep maintaining functionality of these control surface dlls and update them to comply when new features ??? This is where I would like to see my invested $200 go :-) all the recently added features are not so relevant to me (I'm happy with X3e ...)
• Shorter release cycles imply less time for testing - I'm using Sonar in a professional environment and so far was very careful about which version to install when ... new features will have "side-effects", some do harm stability ... how do we know which version is mature enough for the pro-use as all will see new feature being added? Any place we can get a true list of known issues? I consider that equally important as the list of fixes (which BTW I haven't found for new Sonar yet)

Best regards,
Rob

Don't mind me, I guess I am jaded from the decline in programming quality through these many years. When I started out, software was rigorously tested and releasing bugged software was a good way to find yourself looking for a new job. Through the years the attitude changed dramatically because the market became flooded with non-qualified programmers at bargain basement salary points mostly due to demand for bodies. True also software has become more complex, but I have seen enough horror under the hood in programs to understand why bugs are allowed to reach the public. It is really an economic issue, but there has always been a war between programmers and marketers.
 

Thoughts likes these haunt me in my sleep ;-) and actually made me post my question ...
 
Seen my share of coding horror to believe in a stable version only if I had it in use for several weeks myself ...
