I don't mind the new synth rack. What I don't understand is when I open a new synth from the synth rack the synth GUI appears and the synth rack disappears. Is this intended?

Also, at the risk of sounding like a squeaky wheel... What happened to the rapture polysynths from last month??

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to say how much I love the new driver update in the latest release.
I'd been having glitches with the last release while using WASAPI drivers on my laptop, but when I fired up the laptop last night, I was blown away with the new drivers. Even an old legacy M-Audio USB.1 keyboard controller, which previously lagged horrendously, now appears to have no latency at all. How did you manage it? I was sincerely amazed by this, especially as I was thinking of getting rid of the old keyboard and updating to a new one; basically, your new update has saved me money. Cool
Also, the entire workflow feels faster and more responsive.
Good job guys!

Not having to carry around a USB ASIO interface wherever I take my laptop is, quite simply, wonderful

Great update, first time I've booted up Sonar in about 8 months as I've been using bitwig. This will absolutely go back to being my main DAW again.

This is an awesome update! The wasapi integration is money for those times when I want to open a project on the go and don't want to hook up an interface, lenses work great; who really needs the snap module or tools menu in the console view, the ARA integration for multi-track editing with Melodyne Studio is off the hook. Thanks for an outstanding update.

lenses are nice, but I find it problematic that they take precedence of project settings. I ended up not using Lenses after an evening of being happy with it. A lens is essentially a cross-project default settings, including everything in the Console, multi-dock etc. So unless all your projects are the same with the same instruments loaded, it gets in the way. bummer.

Lenses are a disaster as explained in this thread:

Killing Screensets was one of the most stupid ideas of yours. Thanks for ruining it for me.

3 ms WASAPI??? well that is a game changer. Can we achieve that with an ASIO interface? by selecting the WASAPI driver instead?
