VS700 Support Request
Just addressing this question - many of you probably don't know this, but one of our companies used to be the Cakewalk distributor from the Roland days through to right before it closed down last year. We still had an old VS700 set (new old stock!) in the warehouse and it's now sitting outside my office. I can't make any guarantees here as it's not something completely within our control, Cakewalk Inc did not own or build the hardware - but once we're through the first release, there are a lot of things we will be working on and digging into, of which seeing if we can bring VS700 support up to date is absolutely one of them. https://imgur.com/a/GeOLV

To imbed an image insert the image into the post bounded by img tags. When using imgur make sure to use the link to the image and not the link to the page containg the image. Using the example above: https://imgur.com/a/GeOLV is the page containing the image https://i.imgur.com/oSbE7od.jpg is the link to the image adding the string [img]https://i.imgur.com/oSbE7od.jpg[/img] to a post results in the image displayed in Zargg's post. Imgur make this possible with fewer clicks by using the copy BBCode option on the image edit page  bring the image into the editor click copy paste the string into the message (can't wait for a new forum)

Aw Meng, I personally can't tell you how great that is to hear from you. There's not a lot of us, but this is just a really wonderful system that just can't be simply replaced...much like Cakewalk/Sonar. Really looking forward to what develops. Thank you, thank you!
PS, don't forget about the drivers, if there's a way to update them that would also be amazing.

If you manage to convince Roland resign drivers for Win10 (VS-700 and VS-20), it is nice.
VS-700 ACT part is open source (except graphics). And I have not found something bad in it.
To bring it "up to date", a ton of bugs should be fixed in Sonar side ACT layer and deeper, bringing it "up to date".But if you going to do this, I may consider to re-think targets of "AZ Controller 2" (currently in planning and "checking the ground" of another DAW).

I am impressed. This sort of enthusiasm from the new owner is very refreshing. Not only has Sonar been saved but it may turned out to be the very best thing to have happened to it.
In a way its like being at the beginning of a wonderful relationship. I am happy for all of us.

Hi Meng, I was able to get the VS-700 working with Sonar and Windows 10. Please see page 262 in "The Big Book of Sonar Tips" for info on getting the VS-700 and the Avid Artist Series Mix controllers to work with Sonar. For the VS-700, all it requires is a slight driver tweak that fortunately, normal human beings can do  . It refers to a thread in this forum that reveals all. Of course the V-Studio is "frozen in time" so it's not up to date with all the latest Sonar features, but it worked well at the time I wrote about it.

That is awesome to hear. And if I may ask, please also keep old surface controllers supported as it is in Sonar Platinum. I still have 2 Peavey StudioMix control surface used on daily basis intensively. It works perfect for what it is to control Sonar for almost 17 years! And it only works with Cakewalk products, means you can not use it with other DAW! Studio One has basic support for it, but only half of it's capability can be used. Not as flexible as Sonar. So please, keep the "new DAW" release support them as well. Thank you sir!

Fixing ACT and the control surface functionality of the vs700c would be very much appreciated!!
Not sure about drivers (still Roland property?) and whether there is much improvement possible other than getting the drivers signed and distributed by win10

Thanks in advance for at least your kind consideration Meng. I am also a proud user of the VS700c, any attempt to improve its functionality with the New Sonar will be surely appreciated. I have been advocating for windows 10 driver support for some time. Great news, I'm praying that this initiative will come to fruition.

This may be a good place to mention all of the exciting things happening in the MIDI world, such as MIDI-CI. It may be just the industrial standard that can make it possible to clean up the mess that has been created over the last 10-20 years with proprietary protocols for MIDI controllers of all kinds. Granted, by now MCU has done a good job at standardizing a large portion of the space, but it is not comprehensive enough to cover everything, let alone new things that are coming. From what I gather, through the Profile Configuration feature, even old gear can be fully supported - and not necessarily with just the aid of the original manufacturer.

While we are on the subject of controllers, the makie integration could probably do with an update. I use an M-audio ProjectMix and half the Sonar features no longer work due to changes in Sonar. When Cakewalk closed, I switched to Samplitude which has a built-in controller editor which is brilliant as it allows a user to completely customize or setup a controller that uses any supported protocol. I.e. you can remap any fader, rotary or button to any function in the DAW regardless of whether the DAW and controller support each other. I would love to see such a feature added to Sonar (new name?) as it provides for so much flexibility in supporting all controllers old and new.

HOLY WOW !!!! This is really unexpected and EXCELLENT news!!!!!! This is such a relief to hear this..... For those who don't know, the VS-700 system is an awesome addition to working with splat or all the older versions from Sonar 8 and up to this point. (until they dropped support) Thanks Meng & BandLab!

I have the VS700 set that isn't getting much use lately...an update would be amazing! it's such a great system. I don't know what your plans are for a mac version but maybe you could talk Roland into releasing updated mac drivers for the unit.
Thanks!

I mentioned this further up. They really should update this stuff and it would be great if they did it through a universal controller editor so it can be edited and work with any device.
