Velocity was a Project 5 synth. Nice little drum machine. Can't say for sure if it shipped with any product other than Project 5.

ah ok, that explains it, i been playing with session drummer 2, doesn't seem to have a "preview" though, which sucks cause i have to test each sound individually, if i'm wrong please tell me

well  i was under the impression that velocity was a drum machine incorporated in sonar, one of the reason i got it to begin with

as seen here...   http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_88867&feature=iv&src_vid=tafE_byZVfs&v=_dw33MfWqN8

at around 4:51

At this point the narrator says: "...and now we've got Velocity...this is the only time I'm gonna go outside of Sonar..."

that totally flew over my head  =\

You can auditon sounds in either drumkit or mixer mode. In drumkit mode, left-click on the instrument pictures to audition the samples, right-click to change the preview instrument. In the mixer mode use the same clicks on the instrument images at the top of the mixer. The biggest difference between Session Drummer and Velocity is how you build the soundsets for each instrument. In Velocity, soundsets were built directly the Velocity GUI. In Session Drummer you need to use a text editor to build sfz files. You can use one sample per pad in Session Drummer by loading the wav into the pad but sfz files give you much more flexibility. Use the existing sfz files supplied by Cakewalk as a guide to creating your own.

I believe that Velocity was DXi rather than VSTi.  That's probably why Cakewalk have discontinued it.
