I'm really pleased with this update. I find myself duplicating tracks a lot as part of how I work, and this has fixed all my previous niggles with it in one go. And so much quicker to use. One of those "never knew I wanted it til I had it" things.

I am very curious if you can control TH3 wah pedal with Surface Dial ?

I tried duplicating an instrument track.  I selected a track, right clicked on it, chose Duplicate Track, checked on Events (but not Link to Original Clips), properties, and effects.  The duplicated track loaded a different synth than the one I was duplicating.  I thought that was odd.  Shouldn't it duplicate the same synth?  It did duplicate the events.  So then I tried to replace synth in the duplicated track and when I chose a synth, it did not load the one I chose.  It picked the wrong synth.  This happens consistently and I've tried 2 different projects and several different tracks.  I did a vst scan in case something was messed up with that.  Anybody seeing this or am I missing something?
 
Update 1: I tried this with a new project and it works properly.  The above problem was with 2 former but recent projects.
 
Update 2: Duplicate track works ok if I split the instrument track, highlight both midi & synth audio tracks, and then duplicate them both.  I don't understand why splitting would be necessary.

We'll continue to look at it. We got that particular fix in at the end of yesterday. Touch is still going to be 'touched' and improved upon in the near future. 

...
 
It is not a fix though as it is not been fixed. You say it will be "touched improved" but it seems it is going the opposite way if things work and then they don't work anymore right?
 
...

 
As the patch notes mention, the fix was isolated to moving the Now Time Marker around in the Timeline only. We need to address selection separately. Touch bugs are high priority and this will be looked at.  

Thanks for the update. I noticed it first when I fired up Cakewalk Command Center.
Good stuff. Much appreciated.

we have been working with Microsoft on support for the new Surface Dial. This is a perfect device for people who want the feel of a control surface without the wires.

Wouldn't a track ball suffice? Cakewalk could rather manufacture a custom track ball with options to flip wheel behavior between Transport, control and zoom.

surprising, why is that? are there a significant number of sonar users affected? (i'm assuming touch-screen by "touch" btw)

Manufacturing is a real headache for a small crew such as us. Microsoft has the resources and wants to work with us.

Significant and growing. It's where the Windows laptop/surface market is and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. It dovetails in with the pen/dial as well.

I have a touch screen, and find that it doesn't replace the mouse and keyboard. However, it does create a much more fluid workflow because I can use my non-dominant hand for "big" gestures, and my dominant hand for detail work. 
 
At the moment I think DAWs are generally in the Stone Age of touch, and SONAR is in the Bronze Age. I'm looking forward to see what the Iron Age and Industrial Age bring
