Instruction Manual

1024 New Features in SONAR 7
Piano Roll View Enhancements
• Move the mouse upward to move the selected events toward the
quantize target times.
• Move the mouse downward to move the selected events away from
the quantize target times.
As you drag the mouse up or down, a dynamic tooltip shows the current
quantize strength (-100% to +100%).
Note: these instructions apply to the default mouse assignments and will
not apply if you have re-assigned the Drag Quantize mouse action to
different settings (see Flexible Piano Roll Tools. If your mouse does not
have a middle button, you may want to reassign Drag Quantize to another
button.
MIDI Event Mute
Previous versions of SONAR allowed you to mute entire MIDI clips or
regions of MIDI clips. SONAR 7 goes further by allowing you to mute
individual Note events directly in the Piano Roll view or inline Piano Roll.
Muted events are excluded from rendering during playback and MIDI
meters do not light up for muted events.
Event Mute is one of the programmable mouse “Actions”, which can be
assigned to any mouse button and key combination. By default, Event Mute
is assigned to Shift+middle-click when using the Select tool. For more
information, see Flexible Piano Roll Tools.
Muted events are shown using a variation of the “Clip Mute” color but only
the outline of the events are shown. In the following example, the first four
Note events are Event-Muted. The last four Note events are muted using
the Mute tool on the clip. The Note events in the middle are not muted at all.
A. Event-Muted (hollow; the note outline uses the Clip Mute color) B. Unmuted
events (track color) C. Muted using the Mute tool on the clip (Clip Mute color)
