Controllers, RPNs, NRPNs, and Automation Data
Editing MIDI Events and Controllers
Automation Data
The Track and Console views allow you to record automation data that
define changes in volume, pan and many other parameters throughout a
project. The automation data can include step changes recorded using the
snapshot button or continuous changes recorded while using the knobs,
faders, and buttons.
The Track view allows you to create envelopes to adjust several
parameters. For more about automation, see the online help topic
“Automation.”
Velocity, Pitch Wheel, and Aftertouch
SONAR lets you display and edit several other types of data the same way
you do controller data. These data include:
• MIDI pitch wheel or pitch-bend messages
• MIDI channel aftertouch (ChanAft) values
• MIDI key aftertouch (KeyAft) values
Remember that note velocity is an attribute of each note and not a
completely separate event. You cannot add or remove velocity events in the
Notes pane, but you can use the draw tool to adjust the velocity values for
existing notes. You can also edit velocities with the Edit-Scale Velocities
command. For more information, see Adding Crescendos and
Decrescendos. You can edit individual note velocities in the Note Properties
dialog box, described in Changing Note Properties.
