Run Sonar to update

New in build 30.05.0.493

Various UI/Theming improvements

XSampler

XSampler is a simple sampler that lets you import audio, perform basic processing, and play it like an instrument with up to 16 voices. Instantly convert a single audio file into a playable or triggable sound that can be played back at different pitches and speeds.

There are many ways to get audio into XSampler: import audio from the file system, drag loops and one-shots from the Media Browser, drag audio clips (including partial clip selections) from any track.

After audio has been added, you can loop, trim, crossfade, change playback behavior and modulation or filtering options to create interesting musical ideas.

XSampler is inserted like any other VST3 instrument. To quickly create an XSampler instrument, do one of the following:

Click the Add Track button (+), select the Instrument tab, then click the Instrument drop-down menu and select Cakewalk > XSampler

Select Insert > Soft Synth > Cakewalk > XSampler

In the Pluginins Browser, select the Instruments tab, then double-click Cakewalk > XSampler (or drag XSampler to the track header pane)

Note: XSampler in Sonar works similar to XSampler in Cakewalk Next, except direct recording is currently not available. For more details about XSampler, see page 142 in the Next User Manual PDF.

A/B plugin settings

Use the A/B buttons to compare two different versions of a plugin's settings.

Select either slot A or slot B and adjust the plugin settings, then toggle between the two slots. Adjustments made to the selected slot do not affect the other slot.

You can copy settings from the selected slot to the other slot. This is useful if you want to slightly modify the current settings and compare with the original settings. To do so, click the Copy Settings to Slot A/B button.

To revert the selected slot to its initial settings, click the Revert Settings button.
