Morten Saether Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 New in Sonar 2024.07 build 30.07.0.571: Various UI/Theming improvements. Overloud TH-U Cakewalk amp simulator, which provides realistic guitar amp models from clean to crushing distortion. This special edition includes a curated collection of amplifier models, cabinet models, effects models and dozens of presets. Easily build or modify your own signal path. Note: TH-U Cakewalk is only usable in Sonar and Next. If you already own the full version of TH-U, installing the TH-U Cakewalk edition will not change your existing functionality. Overloud TH-U Cakewalk is fully backwards compatible with older TH3 and TH2 versions. TH3 is no longer distributed with Sonar. Projects or templates containing TH2 or TH3 will automatically load in TH-U if the old plugin is not available. Important: If you already have TH3 installed, you may not see any presets in TH-U. This will be addressed in a future update. The workaround for now is as follows: Close Sonar. In file explorer, navigate to the app data folder for Overloud TH-U (Go to %APPDATA%\Overloud). Delete the \TH-U folder. Start Sonar and insert TH-U in an FX Rack. This will regenerate the appdata folder and recreate it this time with the correct default presets. Rig Player and Supercabinet. Load user IRs even in regular cabinets instead of using one or both microphones. Scenes support (A, B, C, D buttons on the interface). Fluid Convolution technology support (https://www.overloud.com/news/fluid-convolution-unveiled). Fluid IR technology (https://youtu.be/qLZ5rBCWW_k). Remastered Cabinets with improved processing. Save and load settings for single effects (right click effect). Customizable initial chain (click Custom in the Settings panel). More parameters for cabinets (pan, mic angle). Download presets from https://www.overloud.com/downloads/presets. Edit Key/Polyphonic Aftertouch events in PRV Controller pane. Key/Polyphonic Aftertouch can also be used in MIDI track / Synth track automation. MIDI buffer size is now adaptively managed whenever delay compensated plugins are present in the project, without any need to raise the MIDI playback buffer size. External Insert enhancements: Mono Outputs support. The External Insert plugin now supports exclusive use of mono outputs for sends. Prior to this, using a mono output would utilize a full stereo pair and prevent other external insert plugins or tracks from using the unused channel. It is no longer necessary for Show Mono Outputs to be enabled in the Devices tab of the Preferences to use mono channels in the external insert. (Its preferable to set display mode to show mono outputs since otherwise track or bus output will always utilize a full stereo channel). Preferences > Audio > Devices > Show Mono Outputs defaults to checked for new installations of Sonar. This is the preferred display mode. New Routing Modes. The external insert can be used in 4 modes: Send/Return mode: This is the primary mode and is engaged when both the send and return ports are routed to hardware ports. In this mode the plugin echoes its send input to the main output. The external insert measures the net delay between the send and return and compensates for this delay, aligning the audio on playback. This is the only mode that is delay compensated. [New] Send mode: This mode is engaged when only the send is routed to a hardware port and the return is unassigned. In this mode the plugin sends its input audio to the assigned hardware output, and additionally passes through the audio through the main out effectively acting as a splitter. This mode can be useful to create a signal flow tap point from any FX Rack location. No delay is applied in this mode. Return mode: This mode is engaged when only the return is routed to a hardware port and the send is unassigned. In this mode the plugin receives input audio from assigned return port and echoes the audio to its output. This mode can be useful to create an FX Rack insert from an external audio device or synth, or to receive input from another external insert tap point in Send Mode. You cannot ping to measure delay in this mode, but a manual delay offset can be specified to compensate for any delays. Passthrough mode: This mode is engaged when neither send nor return ports are assigned. Passthrough mode operates as if the plugin has been bypassed in the effects rack. All incoming audio to the plugin is echoed unmodified to its output. ProChannel support. The external insert can now be used directly inside the ProChannel by adding it into a ProChannel FX Chain. FX Chains (both Track and ProChannel FX chains) now fully support adding an external insert. FX Chain presets containing External Inserts can now be saved and loaded in a track FX Rack or a ProChannel FX Chain. Drag and drop of external insert or an FX Chain containing one from track FX Rack to the ProChannel creates a ProChannel FX Chain containing the external insert. Send and return port assignments for the external insert are exclusive and can only be used by a single instance of the plugin. This is enforced as follows: Track input and output menus will exclude any items that are in use by the external insert. External Inserts send and returns will exclude any items that are in use by tracks/buses or other external insert plugins. Loading FX Chain presets or track templates containing external inserts will result in the send and return being set to None if the ports are already in use. Loading a project when the hardware inputs or outputs are no longer available will reset the external insert send/return. The external insert references send and return ports by name. Changing the friendly name of a port will result in the send and return being set to None if it was using a different name earlier. Track templates now persist external Insert ports. Friendly names can be assigned to External Inserts. Several stability improvements and fixes to external insert infrastructure. Fixed: Quick Start shows duplicate demo project files Fixed: Waves OVox and Studioverse Synth fails to insert in CbB/Sonar Fixed: External Insert send menu doesn't show channels when using friendly names Fixed: Projects saved with External Inserts lose their send port selection when changing "show mono outputs" state Fixed: REGRESSION: Assigning External insert hardware send without assigning return causes allocator overflow and dropout Fixed: External Insert can be dragged to PC FX Chain Fixed: External insert shows send meter and send level is applied even when no send has been assigned Fixed: Some External insert projects hang on load with allocator overflow Fixed: Deleting External Insert crashes after looping playback Fixed: Dragging an FX Chain from Track to ProChannel orphans FX envelopes in track Fixed: Unable to scroll ProChannel with mouse wheel when mouse is over external module UI Fixed: Third Party ProChannel Module Layout Issues Fixed: MIDI notes are not rendered after edits performed with PDC heavy projects Fixed: Plugin window is wrong size after floating Fixed: Melodyne window is tiny/minimized when undocked Fixed: REGRESSION: Effects interleave and double precision indicators in FX Rack do not change when settings toggled Fixed: Transform Tool not working with Key Aft Please give us feedback on this release.
