Using Cyclone
Cyclone
2. In the Pad Inspector, click the Pitch Markers control. The Pitch Markers
control appears green when enabled.
To Assign MIDI Keys to a Pad
1. Click the Pad that you want to trigger.
2. Click the Keyboard button in the Loop view to display the Key Map
view.
The blue keys between the Pitch Range markers show what MIDI keys
trigger the Pad. The yellow key is the Root Note, which triggers the loop
at its original pitch.
3. Drag the edge of the Pitch Range (the blue keys within the white
triangle markers) to change the range of notes that trigger the loop. If
the loop’s pitch changing function is turned on, each MIDI key in the
trigger range transposes the loop by the trigger note’s distance from the
Root Note.
4. Drag the yellow key to change the Root Note. The Root note does not
have to be in the trigger range.
5. In the MIDI Chn field, choose the MIDI channel that the MIDI notes will
use to trigger this pad with.
You can assign the same key ranges to all the Pads if you want. You can
assign different velocity ranges to each pad, also.
To Assign a Velocity Range to a Pad
1. Click the Pad that you want to assign a velocity range to.
2. Click the Keyboard button in the Loop view to display the Key Map
view.
3. In the Velocity Low field, fill in the lowest velocity that you want to trigger
the Pad with.
4. In the Velocity High field, fill in the highest velocity that you want to
trigger the Pad with.
Now the Pad only plays its loop when the Pad receives a MIDI note within
its velocity range.
To Play a Pad with Recorded MIDI Data
1. Record some MIDI data into a SONAR MIDI track.
2. In the MIDI track’s Output field, choose Cyclone. Cyclone must have
been already inserted into the project in order for it to appear as a
choice in the Output field.
