Templates
Template files make it easy to create new projects with certain predefined
settings. To create a template file, create a new project file and arrange the
project settings the way you want, then save the project as a template file.
Template files have a file extension of .
CWT. When you create a new
project, you can use the template as the basis for the new project. SONAR
looks for template files in a particular folder on your hard disk. By default,
this folder is the program folder. To change the template directory, choose
Options-Global and click the Folders tab.
Every time you start SONAR, a new, empty project is displayed. If you
want, you can determine the settings for this default project by creating and
saving a special template file, called
NORMAL.CWT. If you create or update
the
NORMAL.CWT file, SONAR will display this template automatically when
the program is started.
As a rule, any parameter that is saved in a project file is also saved in a
template file. Following are some useful parameters that are saved in
template files:
• Track configuration and track parameters
• Timebase
• Sysx banks
• File information and comments
• Tempo settings
• Meter and key settings
• Clock and synchronization information
