Automating Controls from the Synth Rack
Rack
Note: Your synth’s manufacturer determines which controls (if any) you can
automate. If your synth does not expose its controls to SONAR, you can not
automate the synth.
Once you create some control knobs on the Synth Rack, you can record
automation from them. Use the same procedure you would use to record
automation of any other SONAR knob or widget. See Recording Individual
Fader or Knob Movements and Displaying Synth Rack Automation for more
information
You can also draw and edit synth automation in the Clips pane. See
Drawing Soft Synth Automation in the Clips Pane for more information.

Displaying Synth Rack Automation
You can choose what track you want a synth’s automation to appear in for
editing. Use the Automation Track menu in each strip of controls in the
Synth Rack to choose what track you want to display the synth’s
automation on. You can display the automation from several different
synths on the same track, or put a synth’s automation on a track that is
completely unrelated to the synth if you want.
See Synth Rack View for a picture of the Synth Rack and all its
components.
