Cakewalk has updated SONAR to v7.0.1 (Producer and Studio Editions). This update addresses various performance and stability issues across the entire application, along with specific Step Sequencer functionality/usability enhancements, and numerous plug-ins and component optimizations. In addition, the update addresses several issues reported by customers after SONAR 7's initial release.

Notable Fixes

Main Application:

• Various performance / stability issues.
• In a project with tempo changes, splitting a clip sometimes caused the first part of the clip to be deleted.
• Drag editing note velocities in one clip in the PRV sometimes affected velocities in other clips in the same view.
• Copying bus envelopes did not work correctly.
• Clip Effects icon was not functional.
• When Auto-Punch recording inside loop markers, recording would start at the beginning of the loop instead of the Auto-Punch start.
• MIDI Activity Indicator would sometimes remain in the Windows System Toolbar if the application crashed.
• Hyphenation in the Lyrics View was not functional.
• Importing track templates now correctly creates mono synth outputs.
• Changing audio buffer size with an external insert in a project could freeze the audio engine, requiring a restart.
• Bus solo was not always working correctly when the source contained a mix of aux sends.
• Bus waveform preview would sometimes freeze on a system with ASIO4ALL drivers.
• When setting the EQ to post-FX, inserting a plug-in into an empty FX bin would sometimes crash SONAR.
• Gluing MIDI controller events sometimes resulted in a crash.
• Pre-SONAR 7 projects that use a Sonitus:fx Compressor or Gate as a clip effect would sometimes not playback in SONAR 7.
• When recording Track Pan at the end of a project, SONAR would sometimes crash.
• MIDI scrub tool and MIDI bounce now recognizes muted clips and events.
• Sometimes SONAR would yield stuck notes when using the MIDI scrub tool.
• First few seconds of envelopes sometimes ignored by Fast Bounce in projects implementing delay compensation.
• When bouncing MIDI clips, clip mute, layer mute and event mute states were sometimes ignored.

Step Sequencer:

• Various performance / stability issues.
• Step Sequencer does not automatically scroll when adding notes at the end of the screen.
• Rows can not be copy/pasted.
• Undo now restores steps correctly when in mono mode.
• Performance improvements when undoing a series of velocity adjustments made with the mouse wheel.
• Step indicator lights sometimes got out of sync when using Fit to Quarters.
• Controller event drawing was not undoable.
• When Lock Data is applied to a Step Sequencer clip, velocity values could still be modified.
• Delete Row button sometimes disappeared.

Plug-ins and Components:

• New Radius Library from iZotope to improve compatibility on a 64-bit timeline.
• Dimension LE DXi x64 should be included.
• Dimension LE did not appear in plug-in menus under Standard User accounts on Windows XP.
• PCR-30, PCR-300 and ACT Control Surface plug-ins now have an improved Match mode.
• Updated Perfect Space from Voxengo to support computers with > 2GB RAM.
• Updated LP-64 plug-ins to address clicking during automation.
• New sidechainable Sonitus:fx Compressor and Gate plug-ins did not installer over these plug-ins that shipped with SONAR 6.2.1 and SONAR 5 Producer Edition.
