So the name of the software package went around in a circle, the parent company of the same name died, and here we are. SONAR by itself doesn't need to exist as its own
Knowledge (XXG) entry, but there it is, and when I created the Cakewalk by BandLab article, I left it, partly because I have no idea
314:
I propose that this page be reserved (reverted if possible) for its original use, to provide a historical description of pre-Sonar
Cakewalk, rather than trying to include detailed information about the new Cakewalk by BandLab (except of course a reference to any new page if and when it is created).
321:
For parties enthused about telling the story, Cakewalk by BandLab seems like a great subject for its own page now that it has been around for a year and correct information is plentiful. The page for Sonar was one of the worst I've ever seen for a consumer software product, especially one with a

The software package known as
Cakewalk, then SONAR, then Cakewalk by BandLab originated with Twelve Tone Systems. Twelve Tone Systems was purchased by Roland, who changed the company's name to Cakewalk Inc. and the name of the software package to SONAR. Later, Roland sold the company to

Cakewalk, Inc. was dissolved by Gibson and is no more. Cakewalk, Inc.'s code, trademarks, and other intellectual property were then purchased by BandLab
Technologies. So far the only one of the former Cakewalk, Inc.'s products to be released by BandLab is SONAR, now renamed Cakewalk by

how to merge articles. At this point, Cakewalk_SONAR should no longer be its own article, and just redirect to
Cakewalk by BandLab. All the article does is create confusion between the older product and the current product.
384:
While historically significant, I don't believe that the Twelve Tone
Systems Cakewalk sequencer warrants its own article, rather it should be properly listed as the first product made by Twelve Tone/Cakewalk Inc. in the

The current
Cakewalk by BandLab is so far removed from the original MIDI sequencer that their connection is in name only. Having them in the same article would further confuse an already confusing history.
325:
There is no need to clutter this historical page with ongoing descriptions of a new program that is in active development decades after the original
Cakewalk (as described here) changed its name to Sonar.

There were edits that were apparently made around the time of the BandLab IP acquisition when there was perhaps little or conflicting information to go on. I've been doing my best to correct them.

The original
