Adding and Editing Controllers in the Piano Roll
To Insert a Series of Controllers
1. Choose Insert-Series of Controllers to display the Insert Series of
Controllers dialog box.
2. Choose the controller type from the Insert list.
3. Choose the controller number or type from the Number list.
4. Use the spinners or enter the desired MIDI channel.
5. Enter a starting and ending value in the Begin and End boxes.
6. Enter a starting and ending time in the From and Thru boxes.
7. Click OK when you are done.
SONAR inserts a series of controller events with values that change
smoothly over time from the starting to the ending value indicated in the
dialog box. This command never inserts more than one event on the same
clock tick. If any controllers of the type you have selected already exist in
the time region, SONAR deletes these before inserting the new ones.

Selecting Controllers
To perform many editing procedures on controllers, you first need to select
the controller events you want to edit. A selected controller event turns dark
when it is selected. You can select a single controller event, multiple
controller events of the same type, or all controller events.
To Select Controller Events of the Same Type
1. Click the Edit MIDI Event Type menu , choose the type of
event you want to select from the popup menu.
2. Activate the Select tool in the Piano Roll toolbar or the Inline Piano Roll
toolbar (depending on which view you’re working in), and select one or
more controller events by using the following techniques:
• Drag a rectangle around the edit handles of the controller events
that you want to select.
• Shift-click or Shift-drag to add other controllers to the selection.
• Ctrl-click to or Ctrl-drag toggle the selection state of a controller.
