Excellent news!
Even though I've also now started learning and using Cubase, I'm really looking forward to see what you do with "the product that was SONAR
" going forwards - it still feels the best integrated with modern Windows with its touch, pen and Surface Dial support (was going to get a Dial, but put that on hold with original announcement) and some of the workflows are by far and away still the best (mainly soft-synth work, with some loops for my music).
Great news that some of the team have come across - and love that you've engaged with the community so quickly, and can I suggest that this should be pinned in the forum so everyone can see it!
