Thank you for your reply. This question of microtonal support came up in the microtonal composer community.<br><br>Unfortunately I (and probably everyone on the microtonal lists I've copied ) will not be purchasing the upgrade because this feature has been removed. If I am forced to up grade to Z3ta+ 2 w/o microtonal support in a future Sonar upgrade I'd have to seriously consider if I would want to "upgrade" Sonar as well.<br>
<br>Z3TA+ has for a long time been a favorite of microtonal composers because it had native microtonal retuning support. It is unfortunate (and perplexing) that it has been removed. <br> Perhaps everyone I have copied will join the forum and request it.<br>
<br>Removal of microtonal capabilities is kind of odd because, with the exception of East-West, microtonal capabilities have been being added to an increasing number of software (and hardware) synthesizers and samplers. Logic and I believe Melodyne actually have microtonal capability built in to the DAW. <br>
<br>I hope, also, that Cakewalk is not considering removing the ability to score music in Sonar via music staffs as well. That would also be tragic. I seem to remember the question in the survey I took a few weeks ago. <br>
