There is, of course, a whole raft of other new features and minor tweaks to existing features that also form part of the version 6 specification, and many of these will be described below.Īs with the move from version 4 to version 5, however, Sonar 's latest reincarnation will still seem like familiar territory to existing users. Cakewalk's flagship sequencer has been very well specified for some considerable time so, just 12 months after version 5 appeared, what additions and enhancements does Sonar 6 bring?Īmongst the list of improvements is ACT or Active Controller Technology, which re-maps hardware controllers automatically depending upon which plug-in or other window is currently active Audio Snap, which provides some sophisticated audio quantise features the VC64 Vintage Channel plug-in and the inclusion of Session Drummer 2, a drum sample playback instrument that includes a range of preset multisampled kits and associated MIDI drum patterns. Paul Sellars commented on this when reviewing Sonar 5 in the December 2005 issue of SOS and, yet again, exactly a year down the line we have the next major release in the Sonar range. Of all the major sequencer producers, Cakewalk seem to have both the most regular and shortest production cycle.
