Rikki, good to see you back here and the success you are enjoying with Hyper Canvas and forte. As you know I am beta testing forte version 1.5 with many new features but still with the focus on live performances vs studio work although it will work well in both environments.

It is interesting you ask about Sonar software and the TTS-1 today. I just got the Cakewalk notice today that my upgrade is on its way. As soon as I have it I will let you know what I think. My guess is it should be good Roland quality (sound, latency, reliability).

As you get to know forte you will discover it's many powerful features. The way you are using it is just one example. You can apply effects (audio & midi) of your choice, instruments of your choice, synths of your choice and so on. You can set up all the settings of these various devices as scenes and send program changes from your keyboard for complete setup changes in forte on the fly. Rikki you just can't lose.

Plus you can invest in the quality that satisfies your needs from modest to the best money can buy. Rikki you are just plain lucky!!!
