Changing track settings
You can change numeric values in MIDI tracks as shown in the following table:
For numeric fields, you can press and hold both mouse buttons to change the value by increments of
10 (12, a full octave, for Key+).
You can also edit Track properties in the Track Properties dialog box. To open this dialog box, right-
click on the Track bar and select Track Properties.
Figure 30. The Track Properties dialog
You can change the value of a track parameter for several tracks at once using commands on the
Tracks > Property menu. For example, to assign a group of tracks to the same output, select the
tracks you want to assign, then choose Tracks > Property > Output. These menu commands can
also be used to change the settings for individual tracks.
All track parameters are saved with a SONAR project. However, if you export a project to a standard
MIDI File, several of the parameters (Key+, Vel+, Time+, and Chan) are applied to the MIDI data as
the file is being exported. Other parameters, including Input, Output, Mute, Solo, and Archive, are
lost when you export the project to a MIDI file.
The following sections contain more information about many of the parameters in the Track view. For
more information about the track inputs and the track Arm button, see “Preparing to record” on page
242.
