Key Benefits

  • Open up your DirectX-only applications like SONAR, Home Studio, Sound Forge, ACID, Vegas, Cool Edit, etc. to hundreds of available freeware and shareware VST effects plug-ins and VSTi software synths
  • Offers identical internal processing and sound quality as VST hosts
  • No additional latency
  • Negligible CPU hit

Key Benefits for SONAR users

Using the VST Adapter in the SONAR/DirectX environment adds functionality to your VST plug-ins unattainable in other VST host applications:

  • No limit on the number of simultaneous soft synths or automatable parameters.
  • Sample-accurate envelope automation

Note to Project5 & SONAR 3 Owners

Project5 and SONAR 3 already add VST support to your system. If you own Project5 or SONAR 3, then you do not need this adapter.

* Owners of earlier versions of Cakewalk software without DXi support (e.g. Cakewalk Pro Audio 9) can use the Cakewalk VST Adapter to gain access to VST audio effects, but they cannot access VST instruments.
