Track Volume dialog
Track Volume dialog
The Tracks-Property-Volume command opens the Track Volume dialog
box. This command lets you specify the starting volume level for the track,
ranging from 0 (silent) to 127 (maximum volume).
The Volume setting controls the initial volume of a track during playback.
Every time you start playback, SONAR sets the volume to this initial level.
In some projects you want the volume of a track to change while playback
is in progress. You can accomplish this using the Track, Console, Piano
Roll, or Event views.
Note: Not all keyboards and synthesizers respond to volume change
messages. Check the manual that came with your keyboard or synthesizer
for more information.

Transpose dialog
The Process-Transpose command opens the Transpose dialog box,
which allows you to transpose the pitches of MIDI and audio clips up or
down by a fixed number of half-steps. It does so by changing the MIDI key
numbers of note events and by pitch-shifting audio clips. Simply enter the
number of half-steps in the Amount field of the Transpose dialog box--a
negative number to transpose down, a positive number to transpose up.
See To Transpose Selected Events.
SONAR can also perform diatonic transposition, which shifts all the notes
up and down the major scale of the current signature by the designated
number of steps. For instance, if you specify an amount of +1 and the key
signature is C-major, a C becomes a D (up a whole step), an E becomes an
F (up a half step), and so on. Diatonic transposition assures you that the
transposed notes fit with the original key signature.
As an option, you can choose to transpose selected audio clips along with
any selected MIDI clips. SONAR uses pitch-shifting to perform the
transposition. You can transpose audio only a single octave in either
direction (-12 to +12), and you cannot transpose audio when you are using
diatonic transposition.
The Transpose dialog box contains the following fields:
