equipment, and software. The following table shows the controller numbers SONAR uses for RPN
and NRPN events:
Automation Data
The Track and Console views allow you to record automation data that define changes in volume,
pan and many other parameters throughout a project. The automation data can include step
changes recorded using the Snapshot button or continuous changes recorded while using the
knobs, faders, and buttons.
The Track view allows you to create envelopes to adjust several parameters. For more about
automation, see the online help topic “Automation.”
Velocity, Pitch Wheel, and Aftertouch
SONAR lets you display and edit several other types of data the same way you do controller data.
These data include:
• MIDI pitch wheel or pitch-bend messages
• MIDI channel aftertouch (ChanAft) values
• MIDI key aftertouch (KeyAft) values
Remember that note velocity is an attribute of each note and not a completely separate event. You
cannot add or remove velocity events in the Notes pane, but you can use the draw tool to adjust the
velocity values for existing notes. You can also edit velocities with the Edit > Scale Velocities
command. For more information, see “Adding Crescendos and Decrescendos” on page 489. You
can edit individual note velocities in the Note Properties dialog box, described in “Changing Note
Properties” on page 754.
The Event List View
The Event List view shows events in a list format. You can insert, delete, or modify any kind of event,
including notes, pitch-wheel data, velocity, MIDI controllers, patch changes, Wave files, lyrics, text
strings, MCI commands, System Exclusive meta-events, and more.
There are three ways to open the Event List view:
• Select one or more tracks and choose Views > Event List
