Controlling Playback
To choose patches with the Patch browser
1. In the Track view or Console view, right-click the patch name in the track module you want to
change patches in.
The Patch browser dialog box appears, displaying a list of all the Instrument patch names that
have been installed.
2. Search for a patch name, if desired, by filling in text in the Search field at the top of the dialog
box.
3. When you find the right patch, click its name and click OK.
SONAR changes the patch of the track you selected.
See:
Patch Browser dialog
Adding effects
You can add both MIDI and audio effects directly from the Track view. SONAR adds these effects in
real-time, preserving your track’s original data.
To add an audio effect in the Track pane
• In an audio track, right-click in the FX field, choose Audio Effects > Cakewalk, and select an
effect from the menu that appears.
See:
Audio Effects (Audio Plug-ins)
Adjusting volume and pan
The Volume and Pan settings control the initial volume and pan of a track during playback. Every
time SONAR starts playback, the Volume and Pan settings for the track are set to these initial levels.
SONAR allows you to choose different panning laws if you want (see“Configuring panning laws” on
page 210).
Tip: The Patch Browser can be opened for the selected MIDI track by pressing the SEMICOLON
key (;).
