It's a nice tool, and is quite exciting to work with.Īt worst, you can bounce to midi clips and move forward with other tracks. I felt like I was writing a Billy Joel track with some of the ballad piano presets. After seeing the 'working' Sonar Arp and being stuck with presets, I had to have it. The patterns alone are quite amazing, and the interface is quite nice. Can only get one instance to work thus far.Ĭatanya is a very cool plugin, even if only one instance. I see that there's options in the VSTi to turn it off, but didn't work for me. It also doesn't make sense to me that Catanya needs an audio track. Would be cool if we can get them to talk to each other. Of course Dim Pro, Rapture and others all work with multiple instances because of either partnerships or extensive testing. To the group, is it worth it for all of us to opening up a trouble ticket to Cakewalk on this issue? I just have a feeling that there would be fingerpointing back and forth. In relation, he claims to 'use at your own risk' on Win 64. I agree 7Aliens haven't been too responsive thus far, however I've found them posting to other forums: Try multiple instances too, to see if it work for you, and post your findings. To me, if it works with bitbridge in the demo, you should be fine.

Have you tried the demo? Using 32 bit, the demo didn't work for me on DXi synths (tts-1) but I took a chance and the full version work well. Hopefully someone else can comment on the 64-bit aspects. It's a stopgap solution while we wait for this bug to be addressed. Fortunately Energy XT is cheap and pretty intuitive to get up and running as a subhost without needing to learn the program from end to end. Obviously if MIDI VST instruments are your primary reason for having a DAW then this is particularly unwelcome news. This provides a much more flexible and stable working environment for MIDI VSTi's like Catanya. If you're committed to using Sonar as a DAW then I strongly recommend that you subhost your MIDI VSTi plugins through something like Energy XT. But two or more MIDI VSTi's will often lead to heartbreak, frustration and lots and lots of crashing, as well as long exchanges with the overworked Support folks.

It you want just one instance of one MIDI VSTi then it works just great. Sonar has a long and well-documented problem with handling multiple MIDI-Enabled VSTi plugins. I'm working in Sonar 32-bit and Catanya does work - exactly once.
