To Change the Note Names for a Patch
1. Drag a note name list from the Names tree onto the Note Names for Patches folder of the
instrument and bank you’re editing in the Instruments tree.
2. Enter the patch number that should use these note names, or enter -1 to indicate that this list of
note names should be used as the default.
SONAR displays the updated patch and note name lists. If necessary, SONAR adds a new patch to
the instrument definition.
To Remove a Note Name List
1. In the Instrument tree in the Note Names for Patches folder of the instrument you’re editing,
highlight the name of the note names list (for example, “diatonic”).
2. Press the DELETE key, or right-click on the note name list and choose Delete from the pop-up
menu.
To Set or Clear the Drum Flag
• Right-click on the patch in the Instrument tree, and choose Drums from the menu.
