Cakewalk has issued their latest monthly update to SONAR. The newest version, 2016.06, includes:
- Numerous bug fixes and enhancements
- Smart Swipe
- TH3 Changes
- Theme Fixes
Smart Swipe Track Controls let users instantly enable/disable buttons on multiple tracks by clicking a button in one track, then dragging across adjacent tracks without releasing the mouse button. Smart Swipe complements SONAR’s Quick Grouping feature, which creates temporary groups for most mixer and ProChannel parameters.
SONAR’s alternative UI theme, Tungsten, was introduced in last month’s update; the Step Sequencer and ProChannel EQ have been further refined based on user feedback.
The new TH3 Cakewalk Edition amp simulator now loads four times faster than before, adds the Overview panel from TH2 for faster navigation, overhauls MIDI Learn, and re-introduces the Cabinet IR functionality included in previous SONAR versions of TH2.
Other updates to the program include “Process Audio” editing optimizations to speed up common editing operations, Russian localization for the Steam version, and an array of fixes to help the program run more efficiently.
This update is available for free through the Cakewalk Command Center.
