UI refresh

Sonar has been completely refreshed with a clean new UI, but will still feel familiar to users of Cakewalk by BandLab.

The UI refresh is an ongoing effort and will continue to be updated in future releases.

Multiple color schemes

Sonar includes several color schemes, including Dark, Dark Gray, Light, Light Gray, Tungsten, Mercury, and Cosmic. Additional color schemes will be added in the future.

To select a color shceme, go to Edit > Preferences > Customization - Colors and select the Color Scheme drop-down menu.

Note: When switching color schemes, some UI elements may not refresh immediately until you create/open another project or restart the app.

Note: Custom themes created with previous versions of SONAR or Cakewalk by BandLab are not compatible with Cakewalk Sonar.
