Well, over three years, I can remember a handful of posts related to MIDI output from VSTis.  Seems to be a rather peculiar requirement to me.
 
Nevertheless appears valid assuming it is reproducible. If Sonar can't do something it is supposed to do I see no argument. I've given up arguing against edge use cases, most people perceive an edge use case as the way they personally don't want to do it or have never perceived it to be. If it is a valid workflow it is a valid workflow. This seems a little more major than not being able to edit something in a view, although that issue is quite valid as well (but as I don't use that facility every day I am not the one to ask).. It doesn't effect me right now but it might effect me tomorrow, I'm not looking for barriers in my creativity.

Why don't you try it yourself?

there is no demo version yet

Great job Cakewalk, keep up the good work! Sonar keeps getting better. X3 is awesome. 
 
I know it's late to be expressing my wishes, after the patches have already been released,  but here are my top two wishes:
 
1) When I start up X3 I'd like the audio engine to start up without me having to press space bar (to play) then 'P' (to load preferences) and Enter (to accept and dismiss preferences). This a minor inconvenience for me, and it adds about a minute to my start up time.
2) In PRV, provide more contrast to the active track in the track list on the right. It's definitely better than it was before X2, but It would be even better if a clashing color was used on the active track.

I can just load a project and press spacebar and it works, so this seems to be your specific issue. I suggest you create a new thread for this.

I think the only way you are going to get that point across is to create a mockup image (before/afterwards compared), again another thread.

gcolbertI can understand SlikTone's perspective.  If the tool does not do the job you need, use another tool.  Personally, I've found that the free version of Finale takes care of the issues that I have with the Staff View.  I think that it is silly though to condemn an entire product that is usable by everyone except him as defective when it fails to perform such a bizarre function as his MIDI chaining requirements.  Hey, it works for the rest of us and it sounds like he has found a solution that works for him. Can't help but wonder though, if the bakers spent time on his one-off peculiar issues would he would sing another tune.  Glen

LOL, no. This is basic MIDI routing 101, and expecting a DAW to properly route MIDI from a VSTi plugin into another MIDI track hardly qualifies as "a bizarre MIDI routing requirement" nor a "one-off peculiar issue". Or doing something "bizarre" as recording MIDI from an external keyboard while a completely unrelated VSTi is feeding MIDI into a softsynth on a completely unrelated track. Or doing something "bizarre" as using, say, two instances of Catanya or two instances of any VSTis sending MIDI out. I'm not sure how you believe any of those qualify as "bizarre" or "one-off peculiar".

+1 this is basic stuff.

That Keurig coffee maker was a great investment

If you like spending more for your coffee. 

Not if you buy it - if you invested in it.  Really big difference!

Invest in the stocks or the Keurig itself? Who cares about the stocks for the Keurig. I would invest in the K-cups stocks. It's amazing how much people spend on them. You pay roughly 120 percent more for the coffee than the old way. That doesn't even count the damage to the environment the K-cups pose.
 
Besides, all they do is make coffee and coffee is pretty yuck. I know you can make hot chocolate and tea with the Keurig but they are used to make coffee. That makes them useless. ;-)
 
The idea is cool and I hope you enjoy your coffee.

It was a joke! I have no idea whether they have a Keurig coffeemaker or not. I was just thinking there might be a correlation between large amounts of caffeine and the frenetic pace of development. Actually, I don't even know if they drink coffee...
 
I'll go back to drummer jokes...

HAHA! But it's drum month...

I guess I must be a drummer! ;-)
