SONAR 2016 is now live to the World on STEAM. There's a few new things in this version that we'd like to point your attention to.

Dota 2 Music Pack Template - We've partnered with Valve to bring you a template which will aid users in creating original music content for Dota 2.

Simplified Chinese Localized Support - We're now offering our official Simplified Chinese version on STEAM.

Analytic Support - We've added anonymous reporting to help us improve the customer experience. A user can opt out entirely or opt in to share personalized non-anonymous data with us.

Rolling Updates Pre-Release Branch - With the new App we're offering early access to next month's updates. This month the 2016.04 update will only be available for a short time before we make it the default branch.

Rollback Beta Branches - As with last year, a user can roll back to a previous month's branch in case of issues. This no longer requires un-checking monthly DLC.

Various STEAM Install script Enhancements - We've identified and corrected a few areas where install scripts could fail or not properly install SONAR.

Standalone ProChannel App for Professional and Platinum Users - Pro/Plat users receive a standalone library item which delivers ProChannel modules. In the near future we'll be again offering our Premium modules as DLC.

Legacy Rapture's and Dimension's built with Rapture Session/Pro - Since Rapture LE/1.2.2 and Dimension LE/Pro share similar content with Rapture Session, and all SONAR user's receive Session, we've combined delivery into 1 library item.

Stand alone or Upgrade Installation - SONAR (2016) was designed to be installed standalone over existing SONAR (2015) installations. If you upgrade existing installs you'll benefit from a diminished download time.http://store.steampowered.com/app/380080?snr=1_41_4__42

just to add, the price via steam client is even lower if you already have some other stuff (i have z3ta+2 via steam)

Do the Dota 2 templates come with all updates of Sonar?  I mean, you don't have to get it through steam to get the template do you?  I can't seem to find the templates, though I never used them much before so maybe I am looking in the wrong place.  I see the usual templates in the start screen, but nothing for Dota.
 
-Thank You

i don't know about other versions, but for the steam version they're installed under \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Content\SONAR Steam\Tutorial Projects\DOTA 2 SONAR Template
