Cakewalk has released a free update for Sonar 7 Producer Edition and Sonar 7 Studio Edition (Windows XP and Vista). The 7.0.2 update adds Step Sequencer functionality, overall performance and stability improvements, and Euphonix EuCon control surface support (for all Euphonix control surfaces, including the Euphonix System 5 and S5 Fusion series controllers) through a free separate plug-in.

With the new step sequencer, you can save and load Sonar Step Sequencer pattern files, use new mouse movements to edit Velocity in the steps pane, step record from MIDI devices, audition notes when clicking on steps, and more.

Registered users of Sonar 7 Producer and Studio Edition can download the update and the Sonar Euphonix EuCon Support Plug-in at www.cakewalk.com.
