The following is a list of the tools and controls in the Synth Rack view, followed by a description. For

step-by-step instructions, see the links below.

Button What it does

Insert Displays a menu of available synths and ReWire devices; choose one to insert

into your project.

Delete If you want to delete a soft synth from your project, click the name of the soft synth

in the Synth Rack view and then click the Delete button.

Note: Always close any ReWire applications in their own interfaces before

deleting them from SONAR.

Deleting a soft synth from the Synth Rack view does not delete the tracks

associated with the soft synth, but does change the associated MIDI track’s output

to the next lower-numbered output.

Properties To open the interface of a soft synth, click its name in the Synth Rack view and

then click the Properties button. You can also open a soft synth’s interface by

double-clicking its name in the Synth Rack view.

Insert The Insert Soft Synth Options dialog has an Ask This Every Time check box,

which causes the dialog to appear every time you click the name of a soft synth

from the pop-up menu of installed soft synths. If you uncheck this check box, the

only way to open the dialog and choose your insertion preferences is to click the

Insert Soft Synth Options button.

Freeze This button lets you freeze or unfreeze whatever soft synth currently has focus in

the Synth Rack. Each synth also has its own Freeze and Thaw buttons at the end

of its individual control strip in the Synth Rack. See “Freeze Tracks and Synths” on

page 617 for more information.
