Wasn't initially too excited about this, but after using it, I like it's inclusion in SONAR. Nice on a touch screen for auditioning, likely won't get a lot of use for actual playing here.
That said, I think it needs a bit of enhancement to make it more useful.
I think this could slip off the page rather quickly (not sure how much use this feature will receive), so please feel free to add your own wishes and feature requests to the thread to maybe give Cake some ideas for the future.
My List:
1) Make it dockable in the Multi-dock
2) Make it resizable
3) Make another screen which shows DRUM PADS (MPC style) instead of Piano Keys. Would be a potentially great tool for integrating with the step sequencer and/or matrix view.
