Cakewalk Bakes Up an Upgrade

Cakewalk Bakes Up an Upgrade

We’ve got good news and … oh wait, there’s no bad news. See, those nice folks at Cakewalk have just announced a free 5.2 update for registered users of SONAR 5. This update is for both 32-bit and native x64 versions of SONAR 5 Producer Edition and SONAR 5 Studio Edition and Cakewalk gives the release date as early April, which means it should be available as a free download from Cakewalk’s site shortly. New features and bug fixes include:

  • VST 2.4 support, allowing for 64-bit double-precision audio quality when using VST effects and instruments, along with compatibility with Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
  • This update also addresses issues reported by customers including VST automation, SONAR’s Piano Roll and Inline Piano Roll, and Perfect Space.
  • Support for MIDI output data from VSTi plug-ins.
  • Support for Waves VST plug-ins (Waves DirectX plug-ins have always been supported).
  • Allows for up to 4,096 MIDI channels to any ReWire device (which is up from just 16).
  • Added new extensions to SONAR’s Control Surface capabilities allowing Control Surfaces to receive multi-channel metering information and to get or set punch states.

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. No interest will be charged on the promo balance if you pay it off, in full, within the promo period. If you do not, interest will be charged on the promo balance from the purchase date. The required minimum monthly payments may or may not pay off the promo balance before the end of the promo period, depending on purchase amount, promo length and payment allocation. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases and, after promo period ends, to the promo balance. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.

Applies only to select items from this manufacturer. Ask your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more details.
