Searching for Events
Editing MIDI Events and Continuous Controllers (CC)
The event filter only accepts events that meet all the specified ranges. This means that a note event
must fall within the pitch range, the velocity range, and the duration range in order to be included.
The event filter can also be used to accept events that occur in a range of channel numbers, beats,
and clock ticks.
You can choose either to include or exclude the events that meet the specified criteria. To exclude
events within the designated range and select the ones outside the designated range, check the exc
check box for that value range.
The event filter can also be used to identify several special event types: audio, System Exclusive
events, Lyrics, MCI commands, envelope shades, and a few others. You do not enter a range of
values for these special events; SONAR finds all events of the types you choose.
The All and None buttons help you set up the event filter the way you want:
In any place in the event filter where you would normally enter a pitch string, you can also enter the
pitch by pressing a key on your MIDI keyboard. Also, you can use the question mark in place of the
octave number as a wild card. This lets the event filter accept a single note, regardless of the octave.
For example, the pitch string C? will match a C in any octave.
Searching for an Event
The Go > Search command is used to find the next event (searching forward from the Now time)
that meets the criteria you lay out in an event filter. Once you have found the first such event, you
can find the next event that meets the criteria using the Go > Search Again command (or by
pressing F3).

All Set the event filter to include all events. You can then modify the value ranges
to narrow down your search or uncheck the types of events you want to
exclude.
None Set the event filter to not include any events. Starting from a blank slate, you
can check off the types of events you want to find or select and enter the
desired ranges of values.
