Piano Roll View Enhancements
New Features in SONAR 7
Note Event Colors Based on Velocity
By default, note events in the Piano Roll are colorized based on velocity.
Darker shades of the basic track color indicate higher velocities. Lighter
shades of the basic track color indicate lower velocities.
This behavior can be bypassed by adding the following INI variable to the
WinCake section of cakewalk.ini (see CAKEWALK.INI):
PRVColorizeVelocity=0
Hiding Events in Muted Clips
By default, events in muted MIDI clips are shown in the Piano Roll view.
SONAR 7 provides an option to exclude muted clips from displaying in the
Piano Roll view.
To Show/Hide Events in Muted Clips
1. In the Piano Roll view or inline Piano Roll, click the small dropdown
arrow in the Show/Hide MIDI Events button .
2. Choose Hide Muted Clips from the popup menu.
The state of the Hide Muted Clips option is saved with the project, and the
settings are separate for the Piano Roll view and the inline Piano Roll.
