Here's the latest newsletter from Sonar. I'm forwarding it because I just have to know, can we make use of these Session Drummer 3 expansion packs, without upgrading to Sonar X1? It doesn't look like they include the whole Pearte kit but hopefully enough selections from it to be useful.

You might want traditional, linear multi-tracking or you might want to just experiment and jam. The good news is you don't have to choose. Merging the realtime, experimental approach of loop and phrase based composition with traditional, linear multi-track style production, SONAR X1 is specifically designed to offer the best of both worlds.<http://app.streamsend.com/c/13877193/38463/RLh8Lt2/5zXj?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cakewalk.com%2FProducts%2FSONAR%2FTwo-Worlds-Collide%2F>Check out this new SONAR X1 spotlight on studio composition and live performanceUpgrade to SONAR X1 todayWhether you work in the studio or need live performance tools, SONAR X1 brings you the best of both worlds at an affordable upgrade price.
