Global Options dialog—General
Allow MIDI Recording without an Armed Track
By default, SONAR requires you to arm a track before recording.
Ask before Sending System Exclusive (When Opening
Projects)
If you check this option and then open a project that contains sysx data,
SONAR asks you before sending the sysx data.
Always use Sysx Banks for MIDI Files (Instead of Sysx
Data)
If you check this option, SONAR puts any sysx data contained in imported
MIDI files into sysx banks instead of a stream of sysxdata events (except
for auto-send data, which is sent before playback). These banks show up in
the Event list as bank events. If you don’t check this option, imported sysx
data remains as sysx data events if it is up to 255 bytes, and is put into
banks if it is 256 or more bytes.
Write Cable Meta Events to MIDI Files (Output Select)
If you select this option, SONAR can change the default output that a
following (upcoming) sysx bank is sent to. The output select number is also
inserted into the front of each track of a format 1 MIDI file to specify the
output number.
Always Echo Current MIDI Track
This option is on by default, and means that incoming MIDI data will always
be echoed through the current track, even if the track’s Input Echo button is
in the Off position.
On Stop, Rewind to Now Marker
When this checkbox is enabled, the Now Time jumps back to the Now Time
Marker whenever playback stops.
Set Now Time With Full Restart
When this option is checked, when you change the Now Time during
playback, the Transport comes to a full stop, and then restarts playback.
This stops the sound for a brief moment, but makes synchronization
(especially with video) more robust.
Stop at Project End
When this option is checked, playback will automatically stop after the last
event in the project is reached. When this option is unchecked, playback
will continue beyond the end of the project and playback can also be started
in an empty project.
