While I can understand their thinking, I think they're making a tragic mistake by not offering integrated support for a wider variety of hardware. I get the feeling PreSonus only wants us using their hardware, like Faderport 8 (which works great, so I've heard). I've used other iPad remote controllers for Sonar, but this is much slicker and more comprehensive. Speaking of iPad, Studio One has a fantastic remote control app. Notion is a terrific notation software, especially on iPad. For instance, although there's no staff view in Studio One, it can easily send and receive notation from PreSonus Notion. Studio One seems to do some things really well, with features we'll obviously never see in Sonar. There's simply no elegant manner of controlling hardware synths inside Studio One, which, to put it mildly, sucks. This isn't a problem only for the Fantom, but for any external hardware synth. I have managed to get the Fantom to play in Studio One, by setting it up as an "external instrument." But apparently Instrument Definitions don't exist in Studio One, so changing patches is a matter of entering the bank/program number in the track inspector. Almost every other plug-in works fine, so I'm thinking that it's simply designed not to work outside of Sonar. Update: Still no luck loading the Fantom VS VST plug-in. In the long run, I will have a better, more capable studio. I have really loved and enjoyed my VS-700, and leaving it behind will feel bittersweet. I'm thinking of eventually upgrading to a Slate Raven control surface, which would be a major step up in any case. So I'm looking forward to exploring and learning a new, cutting edge, living DAW in Studio One.

I wish I could've stayed with Sonar, but it didn't work out that way. I thought about crossgrading to Cubase, but their offer did not include X2 (only Platinum). But that obviously didn't work out as I'd planned.

I had always intended to upgrade to the latest Sonar Platinum, when I had the chance. If I hadn't been stuck with X2, I probably would have stayed with Sonar longer.

I'm not sure how to set up instrument definitions, either. Hopefully I'll figure out how to get that in there. One thing I've noticed is that although Studio One picked up most of my old synths and plug-ins just fine, there's no sign of my Fantom synth plug-in. In fact, this way you can really personalize the ins/outs and label them to suit your needs. I was a little surprised the ins/outs weren't set up automatically, but no big deal. Setting up the audio in/out routing for the VS-700R wasn't too difficult using Studio One's input matrix. It's still a good console, even without all the Sonar features. It will take a little experimentation to figure out what else works, what doesn't, and how to fix it. I haven't tested everything, yet, but of course the rest of the buttons are somewhat unpredictable. The display works, including the time display (yay!). The faders, pan, mute, solo, arm, and select work. So far I have been able to get the VS-700C up and running by using it as a Mackie controller. Naturally, there's nothing stopping me from going back to Sonar when needed, but as someone else mentioned, I would prefer to continue forward with a "living" product. Will it be worth it in the long run? I think so. Of course I know there will be sacrifices.including lost functionality on my beautiful VS-700 setup. It has some terrific features I'm really looking forward to trying. But since Gibson pulled the rug out from under us, I decided to go for the crossgrade offer for Studio One 3.5 Pro. I was a loyal Cakewalk devotee for about twenty years. Hoping by asking here, I can focus on testing the front runners first.

I want to test some of the trial versions but can’t do them all. Price could also be a factor, there are some limited time crossgrade or competitive upgrade deals I have found thru reading this forum. Functionality, reliability, stability, features compared to Sonar, sound quality, FX and editing tools are good way to measure the other DAWs. Please shed some light on this if I am miss informed. I have no idea about how the Fantom VS hardware synthesizer will work outside of Sonar.

Think the 700R will work with most of the software these days. For the 700C it looks like other software will have to use Mackie Control or HUI control surfaces setups if available, as far as I know. Also know support won’t be the same for this hardware as it is in Sonar currently. I am planning on staying with Sonar as long as I can but want to have a backup plan. I have the VS-700 set, Platinum lifetime and lots of other Cakewalk software. I am not looking to buy new hardware now or any time soon. Hello All, I would like to ask you all if you have found an alternative DAW that supports the VS-700 better that the others. An alternative DAW that supports the VS-700
