Probably not the right place to post this, but I've been using the beta and the transfer to and from SONAR is seamless. For example you can take a basic song from SONAR that doesn't have lyrics, open it on your phone, and record as you sing along to try out lyrical ideas. So it's not just for capturing ideas and getting them into your DAW. There's a free version so you can check it out.

Exactly!
 
I checked out the website, watched the video, and read the app store description, but I'm still not real clear what's on offer here beyond ease of transfer from mobile to your DAW. They repeatedly mention capturing ideas, then don't tell you how it's done. Is this just for capturing live audio? Are there any instruments?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who looked at that page and said "WTF?"
But I liked when it says, "Just pull an idea out of your pocket" 
"Hey baby, just relax while I whip out my Momentum"

1) Record on your phone/tablet like you would usually.
  • Use your phone mic or an interface/mic combo.
  • You have up to 4 tracks to work with and can bounce to 1 track.
2) Get home from your rehearsal studio/live function/remote podcast/interview.
 
3) Load your DAW. Insert Momentum as FX. Drag Momentum clips into project.
 
4) Have a great rough mix for overdubs? Bounce a track or record back into momentum.

5) Record on your phone/tablet like you would usually.
 
It's super efficient if you do remote stuff.

The important point is Momentum includes a cross-platform plug-in (VST. AU, AAX) for doing the transfers.

Pretty cool. App seems well appointed for catching ideas and having an efficient way to get it back to SONAR and build. 
Seth: "4) Have a great rough mix for overdubs? Bounce a track or record back into momentum."
Are you saying it's possible to run off say a music track (desktop SONAR) and have it available in Momentum to keep working on (say) vocal ideas on the phone app wherever you happen to be ( then squirt back into SONAR later).
If so, that would be very handy.
 
Like it so far :)

The plugin can be used in multiple ways:
 
1. Bring in ideas into your DAW. As Seth said you can drag and drop to retrieve all 4 tracks into the DAW or drag in the idea itself from IdeaSpace to get a mix.
 
2. Transfer data from any DAW to the Momentum Cloud and thereby any connected devices running the Momentum app, or even another DAW on a different PC. In SONAR for example you can do this by dragging audio clips or content from the browser to the plugin.  
 
3. An advanced use is to capture audio in real time from any tap point in the signal flow. For example you could patch the plugin on an aux track or a bus or even place it inside an effects bin to "eavesdrop" on the audio data at any tap point in the signal flow. You capture audio in the plugin by recording it, exactly how you would record it in the standalone app, except that the audio source is from the DAW rather than a hardware input in this case.
 
4. Turn on Timeline Sync mode in the plugin and have it lock to the transport position in the DAW. This can be useful if you want to sync an idea in the plugin to a complex multi-track project in the DAW
 
5. Use it like a cloud based audio clipboard to quickly transfer audio from any DAW or mobile device to another device or DAW! 
 
Besides the plugin, all flavors of the app (iOS, Android, Mac and PC) will see edits immediately since data is synced with the Momentum Cloud if you are online.

Yes you can ping pong back and forth between the DAW and the mobile app or even from DAW to DAW as I described above.
