Hi everyone — I’m the developer of Chord Dock.

I made a short tutorial for Cakewalk SONAR showing how to route Chord Dock to any VST instrument (MIDI routing), so you can play the chord events with your favorite synth.

If you try it in SONAR and get stuck, tell me where — I’ll help.

Nice to see people developing for Cakewalk/Sonar. I'll check this out as soon as I get back to my DAW. Thanks!

Thanks, Steve — much appreciated. If you test it in SONAR, I’d love any feedback (even small gotchas). If something breaks, tell me where (Insert Options / MIDI Output / Input Monitoring) — and your SONAR version.

Will do! And I know there are a few other Cakewalk/Sonar users on here, too. Maybe they'll see this.

It is a vst3 plugin. As such it works on all window daws.
I'll be nice and stop there.

Of course it does. But the OP is targeting Cakewalk/Sonar users, and we're usually forgotten. So we try to support anyone specifically mentioning Cakewalk or Sonar.
