Working with StudioWare
External Devices
To change the value of a knob or slider using the keyboard, you must first select the control:
• To select a control that has a numeric value display or label, click on the value or the label.
• To select a control without a numeric value display, click on the control, being careful to click at
the current control position. If you do not click at the current control position, the control will
change values as a result of the mouse click.
To adjust a knob or slider using the keyboard:
• Press the - and + keys to decrease or increase the value of the selected control by the smallest
amount
• Press the [ and ] keys to decrease or increase the value of the selected control by steps of 10
Grouping Controls
SONAR lets you create groups of StudioWare controls. When several controls are in a single group,
you can move a single control and have the remaining controls in the group adjust automatically.
This is useful for many different mixing and crossfade applications.
When you create a group of controls, each control in the group has a starting and an ending value.
Here’s how these values are used:
• When you move any control in the group to its starting value, all controls in the group are set to
their starting value
• When you move any control in the group to its ending value, all controls in the group are set to
their ending value
• When you position any control in the group somewhere between its starting and ending value, all
controls in the group are set to the same relative position between their starting and ending value
The initial range for each control is set based on the position of the controls at the time you group
them.
You can adjust the range for any individual control, even if it is part of a group, simply by holding the
SHIFT key while you move the control. When you adjust an individual control by holding the SHIFT
key, its maximum or minimum is adjusted, depending on whether the entire group is closer to its
minimum or maximum value.
To Create a Group of Controls
1. Select any control by clicking on it with the mouse.
2. Hold down the CTRL key and click on one or more additional controls.
The value of a slider Click on the desired slider position to move the slider to that position, or drag the
