To Apply Echo/Delay to MIDI Data
1. Select the data to be affected.
2. Choose MIDI Effects-Cakewalk FX-Echo Delay from the Process
menu or from the popup menu to open the Echo Delay dialog box.
3. Set the echo/delay parameters, as described in the table above.
4. Click OK.
SONAR applies the specified echo effect to the selected data.
Filtering Events
The Event Filter command lets you remove events from the MIDI data,
keeping or passing through only those events that you specify. The Event
Filter effect works almost identically to the event filter used by the Edit-
Select-By Filter command. For more information, see Event Filters.

Option...
Meaning...
Decay (%) The reduction in velocity with each echo. A value greater than
100% indicates an increase in velocity.
No. Echoes The number of echo notes for each original note. If the velocity
reaches 0 before the specified number of echoes, the effect
generates no more echo notes.
Delay The delay between successive echo notes.
Delay Units The units used to specify the delay. You may specify delay in
ticks, in milliseconds, or as a note duration.
Tap The delay you specify by tapping the control with the mouse.
Swing (%) The distortion of timing used to produce a swing feel to the
echo. A value of 0% indicates a straight rendition; negative
and positive values produce distortion of the timing grid. For
more information about swing, see Swing.
Pitch (Steps) The number of steps to transpose each echo note from the
previous. You can specify a Diatonic or Chromatic scale.
