Prochannel in X2 sill no flexible routing with VST?

The reason I ask is I see here http://blog.cakewalk.com/category/sonar-x2/sonar-x2-feature-peek-sonar-x2/  the Breverb comes both as VST & PC module which could suggest there is still no flexible routing?

Oh WOW that it is GREAT news! thank you Seth :-)

Awesome!!

FX Chains, as well as multiple instances of external  modules, are in the ProChannel in X2. Blog post coming soon that explains the features and benefits of this, but in short, it takes care of what you want to accomplish.

Well thats going to be a massive step forward for me personally! Thanks cakewalk :-))))))))
 
All I need now is the buy now upgrade link!!! even more exited about X2 now.

After we have the plug-in set, will it retain it's settings after being dropped into the PC?

Additionally you can drag and drop any VST into the PC and it will automatically turn it into an FXChain module in which you can then map your favorite params to knobs or buttons for quick access.
In some ways this is better than having the plugin in a bin since its a more compact representation of its UI.


Or you can drop in an empty fxchain module and use it as a cheap automatable gainstage anywhere within  the PC signal flow.

Very cool !

Sounds good, Noel. You might even entice this skeptical old dinosaur back on board with this rev.

that does sound fantastic, and I agree that it will make the bin mostly obsolete for me.

But here's my question: can I insert the PC modules into the bin as VSTs?  Not that one needs to given the new functionality, except for controllability - Automap, MCU, and friends can handle a bidirectional protocol in a generic way for VST's, and my question really is whether or not the PC modules will expose themselves to these third-party, industry standard (or at least industry leading/best-of-breed) ctlr protocols? 

Actually I have another question, too, but it's unrelated to this topic, but along with this one being discussed here, will determine whether or not I go to X2:  will we be able to drive the matrix view from a midi track?

Sorry to change the subject, but the chance to pester Noel about this I could not pass up ;)

Great work, Cake!

It depends on what they've done with automation editing. I can't use X1 as it is today.

Automation rendering and editing has undergone huge updates in X2. The biggest ever update in 10 years to that feature area. We also fixed pretty much all the major issues that we knew about. Will write more about it when I get some more time. 
What specific issues prevent you from using automation in X1?
