    • Offers identical internal processing and sound quality as VST hosts
    • No additional latency

    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.

    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.
