Another feature missing in Sonar regarding MIDI is the ability to start playback in the middle of a long note that spans over several measures and have that note play.  With Digital Performer you can do that, but Sonar forces me to start the phrase at the beginning of the long, held note.  That would be a very useful MIDI feature, as it is now I have to "rewind" far earlier than necessary when working on a passage.  Then there is the new copy/paste bug, broken since 22.8.   Also, the staff view snap functions have been broken for a long time.

If you want the Baker's attention, submit feature requests and/or problem reports as required.
 
 

 
I have in the past.   
 
They never even get looked at...


 
 

So your logic is that a forum dump has a better chance?

Sorry everyone for upsetting.
 
One of my pet peeves (which I will keep to myself from now on) is.
I mad, So I'm leaving Cakewalk threads.
It's like "I'll move to Canada!" because I'm so important and you'll all miss me.
 
No we wont. Just go. We'll make more.
 
I promise you if I ever switch DAWs, you won't hear me whine on the way out.
It would be so shallow. If I was trying to get the bakers attention it would be in other ways than
a waaah.

better than doing nothing, yes.

Why not whine?   maybe it takes posts like this to get change rolling.
 
does my post offend you?

The content of the OP is hardly primarily whining and threatening to leave.
The OP cites numerous examples of problems with MIDI. All of which seem entirely legitimate.
The OP cites examples of reporting  problems being ignored.
If the post were titled 'Poor MIDI Implementation' and the content did not mention leaving would the responses be any different?
You would think SilverBlueMedallion was caught outside Fenway Park wearing a Yankees teeshirt.

Mediocracy is the new meritocracy.
I got Cubase in summer of 2015 primarily as a hedge against the wheels coming off the Sonar monthly update model and also for some of the reasons you have posted. There are some very interesting MIDI features there (e.g. Logic Editor, Expression maps). The notation actually works, too. Hermode tuning is very impressive as well.  I still mix in Sonar (at least for now), but I edit in Cubase. If you have not done so already, get the Cubase Demo.

I plan on testing it out tonight!
 
Hell, it has a chord track too!  Something Sonar users have begged for. - FOR YEARS!

Logic Editor?  Expression Maps?  Hermode Tuning?  I cant wait to check all this stuff out!
