206 Controlling Playback
Changing Track Settings
SONAR inserts a change in bank and patch. When you play back the
project, the initial bank and patch shown in the Track view will be used to
the point at which the bank/patch change takes place. You can remove a
bank/patch change in the Event List view.
To Choose Patches with the Patch Browser
1. In the Track view or Console view, right-click the patch name in the
track module you want to change patches in.
The Patch browser dialog box appears, displaying a list of all the
Instrument patch names that have been installed.
2. Search for a patch name, if desired, by filling in text in the search field
at the top of the dialog box.
3. When you find the right patch, click its name and click OK.
SONAR changes the patch of the track you selected.

Cakewalk, and select an effect from the menu that appears.
