In many non-English locales a comma is used to separate decimal digits instead of a period. In other words, in Germany PI is written "3,14" not "3.14". Some plugins store their preset data as decimal numbers formatted using the period as a decimal separator, i.e. "3.14".
SONAR 4 is now a fully Unicode-enabled application, a change which allowed us to ship all of our language versions at the same time as English. Part of this change was to have SONAR obey the local conventions of the users machine: a machine running on a German version of Windows would expect a "," as a decimal seperator character, and would format and scan text appropriately.
This change inadvertently changed how plugins scan text for conversion to numbers. (FWIW the developer from Arturia believes that SONAR is actually now doing things "properly" and that they need to correct the issue in their plugin.)
In the meantime, here are 2 workarounds.
[1] Run the Windows Control Panel, and go to the "Regional and Language Options" panel. Under the "Standards and formats" setting, choose "English (United States)". This will cause numbers to formatted and scanned in the way these plugins expect, but will also cause times and dates to formatted for US English, which may not be desireable. So you might want to try [2] instead...
[2] Again bring up the "Regional and Language Options" panel, but click on the [Customize...] button, and make the following changes:
Decimal symbol: .
Digit grouping symbol: ,
List seperator: ,
