Dear Cakewalk team, may I ask when will be one of the most important VST3 feature of multi MIDI inputs implemented in Sonar? I really cant wait for it, thank you

bump.... I think Sonar is the only soft that support VST3 without this feature....

This feature will not be in X3 but it is on the list of planned features.
 
AFIK the only VST3 host that supports this currently is Cubase, and its hardly the most important VST3 feature considering that there is pretty much only one VST3 instrument that supports it - VSL :)
Do you know of other instruments that support multiple VSTi MIDI inputs?

Thank s for reply. Here are some: Nuendo, Logic, Pro tools, Presonus Studio One. I dont research other VST3 instruments, VSL is what I need to use with Sonar.

Logic and Pro tools do not support VST3. Cubase, Nuendo and S1 are the only other VST3 hosts AFIK.
As I said it is planned but not for X3.

...but support requested feature

... "only" (but all that deserve mention in DAW world) but they are your main competitors.
 

I too was dissappointed to find this feature of VST3 not working in X3. Vienna Software is an essential part of my everyday workflow.

veering slightly off topic (aren't you glad you popped your head up Noel?)...
 
so VSL uses the 'real' multi-port feature as specified in VST3. Do you know what Kontakt is doing with their 'extra' three sets of MIDI ports? Is there perhaps some way to provide access to them?
 
Thanks!

Multi MIDI port isnt minor feature and IMHO it is one of the most important feature of VST3. Vienna Ensemble is used by professionals all over the world and if Sonar would like to be there, CW should react accordingly. If I search CW forum I can find numerous request of this feature even several years ago. Where is the problem, it is that hard to implement this in next X3 update?

Glad to hear its probably gonna be in X4. Definitely would like it, prepared to wait for it and buy it. I don't expect it for free. There are more pressing issues right now to deal with like bugs. I don't expect any new features in Sonar x3 unless it fixes buggy behaviour (e.g. drum maps and solo buttons which has been deemed a feature request for some reason even though the behaviour is buggy). BTW there are bugs from several years ago that still need fixing, check my bug thread. X3E coming soon.
