MPE enables electronic instruments such as synthesizers to provide a level of expressiveness typically possible only with acoustic instruments. The MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA) has formally ratified the MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) enhancement to the MIDI Specification. But, whooah! Should I slow down or look elsewhere. How far behind is Samplitude? I did the $149 buy and is getting up to speed with it. Sonar since I've gotten comfortable with both. I have a 5 song project that my band will be starting later this month and I may just use one of those 2 programs vs.
Overall I will stick with SONAR, but I am gradually migrating over to Samplitude and Reaper. All this being said it was relatively quick and easy to get up and running. I've had more crashes with that than anything. But some of Samplitude's internal stuff causes issues like its elastic audio. Things like Drumagog, NI Battery with certain types of rex files etc. In general most of the things that cause me grief in Sonar also cause me grief in Samplitude. Now some of this is due to 3rd party stuff not playing nice. Certain plug-ins will not distribute their load evenly across the cores and I have an i7. My main complaints are that it's not as efficient as SONAR with its CPU usage. The UI is OK, not great, but once you get comfortable it's workable. The object editing is an awesome feature that I like very much. Finally the choice of a DAW is a matter of taste! Later on I tested a couple of the most famous DAWs and in the end I came back to Samplitude. At that time I even did not know about the decline of Sonar. But I purchased Samplitude Pro Suite in December with this incredible offer (150 EUR) just because I wanted SpectraLayers Pro. Also the regular price had been really high in the past. What I agree is that there is no plugin manager, but I solved this issue by creating my own folder-organized VST path for Samplitude (with subfolders EQ, Dynamics. And concerning their "terrible entry level" stuff I am convinced that if you are really creative you can take out a wonderful sound of any instrument or FX. And I also think that Samplitude's look is much more attractive than most of the other DAWs (but not so nice like Sonar's). I had always a version of SMS because I liked their synth Revolta with some really awesome and diverse sounds, IMHO much better than all synths of Cakewalk.
In my opinion Samplitude is currently the best replacement for Sonar. I do not really agree what is said here above.
