How Groove Clips Work in SONAR

Groove clips have information saved within them which allow them to adjust

to changes in tempo and pitch. Groove clips can read a project’s tempo and

tempo changes, and can adjust their root note pitch when they read pitch

markers. You can add pitch markers in the Track view’s Time Ruler to

transpose the Groove clip. As your project passes over a pitch marker,

SONAR transposes your Groove clips based on the clip’s root note

reference pitch. If you insert no pitch markers in your project, there are no

pitch changes in your Groove clips. The default project pitch is C.

Note 1: When working with Groove clips, it is important to know the

difference between key and pitch. Your project’s key signature has no

effect on Groove clips. The pitch of your Follow Project Pitch-enabled

Groove clips is dictated by pitch markers in the Time Ruler. If there are no

pitch markers in your project, these Groove clips play at the pitch set in the

Markers toolbar (the default is C).

Note 2: Groove clips must be at least one beat in length. If you try to loop-

enable a clip of a shorter duration you may experience distortion or artifacts.
