Changing Tempos

SONAR inserts a tempo change at the designated time.

To Insert a Series of Tempos

1. Enable Groove Clip Looping on any audio clips that you want to follow

the tempo changes. Do this by selecting one or more clips, right-

clicking a selected clip, and choosing Groove-Clip Looping from the

popup menu. Each clip that has Groove clip looping enabled has

beveled edges instead of sharp corners. The same command disables

Groove Clip Looping on any selected clip that has Groove Clip Looping

enabled.

2. Choose Insert-Series of Tempos to display the Insert Series of

Tempos dialog box.

3. Enter a starting tempo, ending tempo, and step size.

4. Enter a starting and ending time for the series of tempo changes.

5. Click OK.

SONAR erases any existing tempo changes between the starting and

ending time, and inserts a series of tempo changes that change smoothly

between the starting and ending time. This command never inserts more

than one tempo change on the same clock tick. Audio clips which you want

to follow tempo changes can also be converted to Groove clips in the Loop

Construction view.
