Short answer: yes

But, why not download the demo and try it?

Another "yes" for you... the Matrix View is actually very powerful, and you should already have it with X1

Here is a SOS article when it was introduced if you are interested -

The thread title suggests that it's not a yes or no question. I think it's about which one can do it better. Well, I've never use Live so I can't compare. In fact, I've never used Matrix View so I should just shut up and leave...

Both have demo versions, you should try them and see for yourself

We did a lot of enhancements to the matrix starting in X2. It has a new playback engine with tight synchronization and several enhancements. It can definitely handle triggering cells and more while playing softsynths.

Excuse me for being lazy and asking, but does it follow live tempo changes without sounding terrible?

Tempo in Sonar has no sound. Things either speed up or slow down.

Thats funny I didn't think about audio in reference to tempo. LOL But then tempo as such would be recorded with a performance if its audio.
