Nice!

I just tested the x64 version of Surge in it and it seems to work great.

Envelope automation to effect.... need to investigate more, some weirdness, might be a non-sonar issue though

And 5.2's f@ckin' buggy like a rabbit hole.

Yes I'm afraid there are issues - i upgraded today and there are syncing issues when you are looping bars - it's in the ReadMe as a known issue that Dx plugins and Vst's may go out of sync like this. The workaround is to plug (evan a disabled) effect on the output of the vst, however i still get audio dropouts when it was stable before. just waiting to get the info on how best to roll back to 5.1 - Shame cause I love the program, but it's irritating an upgrade has caused this. There are other people experiencing this too, a quick scan of the cakewalk forums prove this. If 5.1 is working for you and you're not desperste for the new features, I think it's a case of 'if it ain't broke'....

Problem is that many, but not all of issues I had with piano roll is fixed. If I roll back, I'd roll back all the way to 4.
