Working with MIDI Data Lanes

The Controller pane allows you to display and edit non-note MIDI data,

such as velocity, modulation, pitch bend and continuous controllers (CCs),

in multiple lanes at the bottom of the Piano Roll view.

When you open the Piano Roll view, SONAR will automatically create a

separate MIDI data lane for each unique data type that is present in the

selected track(s).

When you click on a lane—either in the controller pane or in the scale

pane—that lane becomes “active” and turns a slightly darker shade. The

significance is that the active lane is the one that becomes controlled by the

Event Type pickers in the top left corner of the Piano Roll view.

Each lane can be configured to show one or more event types.

A. The Event Type pickers apply to the active lane B. Show/Hide MIDI Events

picker C. MIDI Event Type picker.
