Well, I tried to send them a message via their "Developer Support Contact Form", but it results in an error message. THIS IS REALLY FRUSTRATING, AND PERHAPS REPRESENTATIVE OF CAKEWALK'S RELATIONSHIP WITH DEVELOPERS THESE DAYS. I'll try to send the message to another email and hope it gets through to someone, eventually. The main text of it follows for posterity. - m ********************* I believe that better support for MFX developers is needed if the standard is going to survive. The Cakewalk DevXchange (
http://www.cakewalk.com/D.../article.aspx?aid=115) is woefully out of date: it refers to Cakewalk Pro Audio 8 as the example product! Two whole product generations later, we've yet to get an updated SDK or example projects. This makes it problematic to update my somewhat popular free 32-bit MFX offerings (
http://www.tencrazy.com/gadgets/mfx/) to 64-bit platforms, which I've yet to figure out since buying a more modern PC. In searching for help, I've only come across one other developer in the same situation as me, looking for help on the Cakewalk Dev Forum when none is to be found. Are you going to let MFX die on the vine like CAL did? If so, I might as well give up on it now and use the time and money towards moving to another DAW with more flexible MIDI APIs. As stands, I never upgraded past SONAR 8.5 Producer, as it didn't seem that you were interested in supporting VST MIDI modules, either. It's a shame to allow potentially great tools like CAL and MFX to decay into obscurity, but it's perhaps even a crime not to replace them with something more modern. SONAR should remain a powerhouse in the MIDI department too, not just for multitrack audio. If all you're looking to do these days is ape something like Pro Tools, I'm afraid I'm just not that interested. - m
