Instruction Manual

644 Mixing
Using Control Groups
designate a group as a custom group to create a custom group—just group
some controls and set their starting and ending values.
To Adjust the End Value of a Control
1. Set the control to the desired ending value.
2. Right click on the control.
3. Choose Set End = Current.
SONAR sets the end value of the control.
The Set Start = Current and Set End = Current commands set the range
of motion that a grouped control moves through as the other members of
the group move through their starting and ending values. You don’t have to
designate a group as a custom group to create a custom group—just group
some controls and set their starting and ending values.

Quick Groups
You can create a temporary group (a Quick Group) of track or bus controls
by clicking the strip selector on each track or bus that you want to group.
Similar or identical controls in the grouped tracks or buses will then move
synchronously when you adjust them. For example, if you made a Quick
Group of an audio track and a MIDI track, and then dragged the volume
fader in the MIDI track, the volume fader in the audio track would move in
similar fashion. If you dragged the Velocity Trim fader in the MIDI track, the
Volume Trim fader in the audio track would move also.
Note: not all controls can be Quick Grouped or Grouped. Controls such as
Input, Output, and Effects Send Selector on Audio tracks as well as the
Input, Output, Channel, Bank, Patch, Time+ and Key+ controls on MIDI
tracks cannot be grouped (they can have identical values set though by
using the Tracks-Property-[name of property] command).
The additional attributes of Quick Groups are:
• Only one Quick Group can exist at a time.
• If a control is part of a Quick Group and a permanent group, the Quick
Group takes precedence.
• Track and bus controls cannot be in the same Quick Group.
