sound in the Console view. You may choose to use one view or the other,

or the choice you make may depend on which project you are working on.

Other Views

SONAR has a number of other views you can use to display and work on

your project. To display these views, select one or more tracks, by Ctrl-

clicking their track numbers and:

• Click the icon for the view in the Views toolbar

• Choose the view you want from the View menu

The Piano Roll view : shows the notes from a MIDI track or tracks as

they would appear on a player-piano roll. You can move the notes around,

make them longer or shorter, and change their pitches by just dragging

them with the mouse. You can also use the Piano Roll view to display and

edit MIDI velocity, controllers, and other types of information. The Piano

Roll view also contains the Drum Editor, which allows you to “paint” drum
