SONAR X1 and V-Studio hardware?

So it looks like I get to be the first to ask the question that I'm sure many of us are curious about. 

Will our VS-700 hardware be SONAR X1-ready on release date or will we need to wait for a special update release?

-e.B

Has any one found any screen prints yet of the track view the console view ? I would very much like to see the prv and see how it looks for editing with.

If any one finds any could they send them my way

Thanks

About 5:18 into the video on the overview page shows VS-700 drivers so hopefully everything required will be available to us.  It does look exciting!

X1 is the much awaited and serious departure from what we've known Sonar to be for a long time... V-Studio is in essence a control surface and IO box. I see full integration coming but revised workflow once again purely based on the incredible looking changes and features that X1 will bring.

Very keen to get X1...

that does make me feel better while we are in limbo waiting for the cakewalk guys to tell us what's up

SONAR X1 basically works with the VS-700C just like 8.5 does. However, we've made some significant changes in X1, many of which potentially change SONAR's interaction with the VS-700C.

For example, with all of our new Shortcuts, buttons on the access panel probably won't be doing what they are supposed to do. And of course there's the ProChannel, which obviously we'll need to tie into the VS-700C's Channel Strip controls.

So what we're going to do is release an updated Control Surface plugin for the VS-700C roughly two to three months after X1 ships. That means you guys should see it sometime around February.

We know it's kind of a bummer to have to wait a few months to get your console rockin' with X1, but logistically we've got to use all of our resources to make X1 the best it can be for whiten it ships.

Once that's done we can reassemble our special ops control surface coding squad and get to hooking you guys up.

Hope that helps.

I meant that that little vid shot made me feel better

Oh, I should mention that the audio drivers will not need updating at all. X1 still uses ASIO, WDM, etc. just like 8.5, so you can still use the VS-700's audio driver. It's just the control surface support that we'll be updating.

Basic stuff like the Transport, Faders, X-Ray, Channel Strip controls, etc. will still work fine in X1, but some of the other things like the Access Panel and various buttons might behave wonky until we update the control surface plugin.

Yeah shure there's things that will have to change obviously, will there be any sticker availible to indicate the new assignements on the console?

This will rock for shure!

Hope that helps.

Yes it does! This will be INCREDIBLE!

For the PRV the new Smart Tool has all the functions in one tool, so there's not much need to switch around tools. And we now have Timeline Zoom which makes zooming in on a specific section really fast and easy. Oh wait, I don't think we've mentioned that one yet.

@Cakewalk:

I still hope the instrument tracks will work properly with the V700c console some day.

Hi Grent.

What is wrong with the instrument track problem ?

Thanks

Norrie

I am not sure If my led meeters on the instrument track works I know they work on everything else

I have noticed like you say though if you duplicate a track then delete the original then it will delete them both if thats what you meen ?
