When will SONAR Platinum at least have a simple pitch[varispeed] control?

The issue with varispeed is way more complicated than with something like VLC or Riffstation as it deals with multiple tracks, audio and MIDI, automation, and sync to tempo. The other issue is that if you want to change tempo and maintain duration, you cannot avoid artifacts, which degrades fidelity. You may not hear this with small changes, but I've found that even using high-quality stretching algorithms can't help but modify a file's fidelity. This is not an issue if (like tape varispeed) you're willing to allow tempo changes to change duration (the basis of what I suggested, which isn't really a workaround as much as a way to emulate true tape varispeed, like an old ATR-102).
 
In the days of tape you couldn't always count on a multitrack to have variable speed, but the two-track deck to which you mixed down often did. So it was common to live with the recorded tempo on the multitrack, and apply a speed change to the final two-track mix. That is what I do with SONAR, as it accomplishes speed changes without artifacts.
 
That said, although you won't have a continuously variable knob, you can change the tempo of an entire project as described in my Friday's Tip of the Week for week 33.
 
Finally, this is why in my "Recording on the Fast Track" seminars I recommend starting the songwriting process with MIDI-based instruments so you can change tempo and key easily until you nail what's needed.

Thank You for steering me back to where I was sure I had indeed glimpsed your solution,also  what about "Jack Endino's Comments" that PT way back to 5[?] could do it?
Any Truth in that?

I'm 99% sure it's the same principle as what I described above where you can change pitch but not preserve duration, which SONAR has been able to do since Version 1 back in 2000.
