The Event List View
Note names may also represent percussion instruments, and lists of such
note names are sometimes associated with a particular percussion patch.
The note C3, for example, may really be “kick drum.” If a patch is
associated with a percussion note name list, the name of the percussion
instrument appears in Event List view rather than a note and an octave from
the piano keyboard.
SONAR uses the following notation to display flats and sharps in this and
other views:
MCIcmd Events
Media Control Interface (MCI) commands are special events that let you
control other multimedia hardware and software (e.g., CD-ROM drives,
laserdiscs, sound cards, animations, video) during playback. MCI
commands are part of the multimedia extensions in Windows. MCIcmd
events have one parameter—the command line text of the MCI command.
Here are some examples:
