Sonar 5 Producer edition




larger zize


Version 5 adds more instruments, more effects, and powerful editing tools including Roland V-Vocal VariPhrase technology. These features are complemented by a double precision floating point engine that delivers great increases in dynamic range. In addition, SONAR 5 introduces advances in RAM and native processing power on systems running Windows XP x64 Edition.

SONAR 5 is the first native 64-bit digital audio workstation on the market. SONAR 5 ships as both a 32-bit and 64-bit application, and the 64-bit double precision floating point engine is accessible in both applications. SONAR 5 sees a 20-30% performance gain when installed in a 64-bit PC using Intel EM64T and AMD64 processor and Windows XP x64 Edition. In addition, Intel EM64T and AMD64 based systems can access up to 128 GB of RAM that opens up new worlds when using samplers and audio loops.

BitBridge
A primary barrier to making the leap to the 64-bit environment has been the lack of plug-ins available. SONAR 5’s BitBridge sweeps aside any resistance by enabling the use of 32-bit VST effects and instruments in SONAR’s 64-bit environment. BitBridge technology extends the viability and use of your favorite VST plug-ins; ensures future compatibility of freeware, even for the most obscure, independently developed shareware plug-ins.
