Changing Track Settings
Controlling Playback
settings, the patch of the highest-numbered track will be used for all the
tracks.
In some projects you want the sound played by a track to change while
playback is in progress. You can accomplish this using the Insert-Bank/
Patch Change command. When you start playback in the middle of a
project, SONAR searches back through the track to find the correct patch to
use—either the initial bank and patch or the most recent bank/patch
change. Note that the Track view only shows the initial bank and patch,
even while a different bank and patch are being played back. The only way
to see and edit a bank/patch change is in the Event List view. For more
information, see the online help topic The Event List View.
To Assign an Initial Bank and Patch to a Track
1. Right-click on the Track titlebar (the top of the track which contains the
track name) and select Track Properties.
The Track Properties dialog box appears.
2. In the Track Properties dialog box, choose the desired bank and patch
from the dropdown lists.
3. To search for a patch containing specific text, click the Patch Browser
button to the right of the dropdown lists. You can also open the Patch
Browser by right-clicking a bank or patch control in the Track or
Console views.
4. Click OK.
Another Way to Assign a Patch to a Track
1. Select the patch you want from the Patch dropdown.
To change the bank and patch settings for more than one track at a time,
select the tracks you want to change and choose Tracks-Property-Bank or
Tracks-Property-Patch.
To Insert a Bank/Patch Change
1. Highlight the track whose bank and patch you want to change by
clicking on the track number.
2. Set the Now time to the time at which you want the change to occur.
3. Choose Insert-Bank/Patch Change to display the Bank/Patch Change
dialog box.
4. Choose a bank and patch from the lists.
5. Click OK.
