New features in SONAR 8.5
jBridge support
Similar to BitBridge, jBridge allows you to use 32-bit VST effects and instruments when using the
x64 version of SONAR, as well as use 64-bit plug-ins when using the x86 version of SONAR. jBridge
can also bridge 32-bit plug-ins in the x86 version of SONAR, allowing your computer to overcome
the memory limitations of a single 32bit process.
To enable jBridge, select the Load using jBridge wrapper check box in the VST Plug-In
Properties dialog. This check box is only enabled on systems where jBridge is installed.
For information about adjusting VST settings, see “To set options for individual VST plug-ins (DD2;
new S8.5)” on page 640 and the Cakewalk Plug-in Manager online Help.
