The Event List View
Editing MIDI Events and Controllers
The events in the selected tracks are listed one per line, from top to bottom.
As you move the highlight through the event list, SONAR updates the Now
marker (time display). During playback, the event list scrolls to display the
events at the current time. The current event is centered in the Event List
during playback, and the highlight is on the correct event when playback
stops. Any time you change the Now time, the event list is updated and the
highlight is moved to the event that will be played next.
When the Event List view includes more than one track, events are mixed
together in chronological order. For example, if you select tracks 1 and 3
when you open the Event List view, you see a single list of intermingled
events from tracks 1 and 3. You can have any number of Event List views,
each containing any number of tracks, open at the same time. You can
change the tracks shown in the Event List view by clicking the button
and choosing the tracks you want.

Event List Buttons and Overview
Each line of the Event List view shows a single event along with all of its
parameters. There are many different types of events. All share the
following parameters:
• The time of the event, displayed in SMPTE
(hours:minutes:seconds:frames) format
• The time of the event, displayed in MBT (measures:beats:ticks) format
• The event type, or kind of event
The remaining parameters vary by event type. You can hide or show each
kind of event by clicking its button in the Event List toolbar or by checking its
checkbox in the Event Manager dialog box. Here is a summary listing of the
parameters that apply to each type of event.
