• Click the Plus button in the bottom left corner of any existing
lane.
• Press Shift+L.
A new lane is inserted below the lane that was clicked (or below the
active lane if you pressed Shift+L). SONAR will try to automatically
assign the lane to any event type that exists in the track, provided the
event type is not already assigned to another lane.
To Delete a Lane
To delete an existing lane, click the Minus button in the bottom left corner
of the lane.
If there is only one lane that is opened, this command will close the
Controller Pane.
Note: Deleting a lane does not delete any MIDI events from the track.
To Assign an Event Type to a Lane
Use the MIDI Event Type drop-down lists in the Piano Roll to select which
MIDI data type you want to display and edit in the active lane.

The lane appears darker than other lanes to indicate that it is the active
lane.
2. Click the MIDI Event Type picker .
The MIDI Event Type pop-up menu appears.
3. Do one of the following:
• To specify a new event type that doesn’t already exist in the track,
choose New Value Type and select the desired event type in the
MIDI Event Type dialog.
• To specify an event type that already exists in the track, select the
event type from the MIDI Event Type pop-up menu.
The name of the current edit type is displayed in the lane.
