On the fly option to change the pitch of clip
 

 And also a much more convenient way to group drag and move all the keyboard notes, tempo events, velocities and all the automation events too please.

Biggest things I’d like to see simplified in Sonar X3:
-        Ability to adjust tempo of both audio and midi with one knob (like in Reason 7).   
-        A conductor track for tempo, key signature, etc. that works like the automation lanes aligned with the tracks, (like in PT and Reason); not the separate tempo window.
-        Ability to easily assign midi controllers by right click and moving a knob, and simply add a midi controller with a picture and it “just works” (like in Reason). I’ve given up on ACT. 
-        Decent staff notation, ‘nuff said. 
-        One grid in the mixer across all tracks for FX, sends, instruments, etc. (like in PT and Reason mixers).  Not a fan of the Prochannel layout and having the various layout options gets visually complicated.  If I could use the prochannel modules in the FX bin, that might work, selecting and item give a large popout to dial it in.
 
I keep coming back to Cake because it’s simple, but always get hung up on workflow due to the items above. I use Reason but hate it doesn’t have a simple solution for software VSTs (yes I’m aware of virtual audio cable workarounds)… I’m sticking with my NI Komplete, Maschine, Spectrosonics, Project Sam, etc. instruments and not buying all new “Rack Extensions”, thank you!  PT 11 is still too complicated for me (but maybe I haven’t invested the time).
 
So I wish Cake would focus on these “meat and potato” items, and spend less time on more “free” VST instruments, “content clubs,” etc.  I wouldn’t feel so bad about paying for the upgrades. Hope this helps... OK, back to work!

Haha, still not too late, because even now Cakewalk have still not announced any news that what would they plan for X2b or X3. So they still have enough time to think about our wishlist requests by now. 

Oh to be young and/or naive.
 
You may not be aware of this but CW has never, to my recollection, ever announced what they had planned for ANY release. You find out what they had planned when it is released. Never before.

I'd like to be able to adjust tempo during playback.
It's pretty archaic to have to stop the transport, guess at a new tempo, restart playback, etc., etc.

I'd like a varispeed like function too, if that's what you mean.

Varispeed works on audio too, doesn't it ?
 
I'd be happy with it working just with midi, though audio would be nice too.  It's strange to adjust the tempo value during playback (of midi stuff) and nothing changes until you stop and restart.
 

Global screensets?

Personally, I've lost interest. Someone please wake me up when X3 or whatever comes out. I'm on hiatus 'till then. (EDIT: I'm on hiatus of concerning myself with what's next. I've given up on Cakewalk at this point, but I'm here to help others, if I see something I can help with.)
