Hi PVK,
Sonar Platinum is also my favourite DAW, my # 1 and I may hope Sonar will find a company and will receive the support it deserves.
It has never been clear to me why Roland ever sold this great tool. Maybe Cakewalk did not bring the profit Roland were expecting ? We do not know.
BTW Roland even made hardware for Cakewalk.
We all knew Cakewalk was not the right partner for Gibson.
Again, I may seriously hope Cakewalk will meet the right partner but it will be hard to find, I guess, due to all legal obligations and other problems we do not know ( yet ).
After a period of 15 years we do not know if Yamaha are so happy with Steinberg ( Cubase ) either.
Since Yamaha ended XGWorks in 2002, ( a huge mistake IMHO ) we never received a DAW really suitable for Yamaha's arranger keyboards.
For many, many years thousands of Yamaha's arranger kb customers are begging Steinberg/Yamaha to produce a typical Yamaha arranger kb DAW but up to now it looks like they never offered us what we need, want even when we are ready to pay for that program.
How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry ?
( Bob Dylan ).
Cross my fingers ! 🍀
Jeff, The Hopeful
