Title: Sonar free tier replaces Cakewalk By BandLab
Post by: mgr on July 14, 2025, 11:22:08 PM
I understand that after august 1st 2025 CbB will no longer continue to work (activation servers will be disabled), and now there is a free version of Sonar available instead.
What are the chances that AZ Controller will work with this free Sonar?

Some people are using it with new Sonar for a while. And since I can save projects in new Sonar now (I had no intention to pay subscription), I can fix bugs, when spotted. So everything is fine  ;)

I've been running Sonar with AZ Controller since the new Sonar was introduced.  No major issues.

Hi all, My Presonus Faderport 2 stopped working as soon as I installed Sonar a few weeks ago.I have tried all the usual setup with no luck. Has anyone else had any problems? Sure would appreciate some help!

Are you using it with AZ Controller? If yes, you can check there, in "Last MIDI event", which messages are sent my the device. Eventually you need to re-assign MIDI ports in Sonar preferences and/or checked MIDI messages are not filtered out (also in Sonar preferences).
