Working with StudioWare

Note: This feature is not available in SONAR Home Studio.

StudioWare panels are software interfaces to external MIDI devices such as samplers, keyboards, automatable mixers, and effects units. These interfaces allow you to manipulate the controls on any external MIDI device from graphical controls on your screen. The changes you make to these controls can even be recorded and then played back as part of your project.

SONAR includes a wide variety of StudioWare panels for popular MIDI devices, with new panels constantly under development here at Cakewalk, by equipment manufacturers, and by SONAR users. Check the Cakewalk website (www.cakewalk.com) from time to time for new and updated StudioWare panels.
