TAB to transients

You can use the TAB and SHIFT+TAB keys to jump to audio transients, and MIDI Note events.

In SONAR 8.5, TAB to transients is always available when the transport is idle, and is no longer

dependent on AudioSnap.

TAB to transients is now selection-based, which means tabbing will go to the next/previous transient

amongst all selected clips. If there is no selection, tabbing operates on the current track.

To move the Now Time to the next transient, press TAB.

To move the Now Time to the previous transient, press SHIFT+TAB.

For details, see the “TAB to transients” online Help topic.

Auto Scroll Lock in Clips pane

While editing, you can prevent the Clips pane from scrolling horizontally during playback. This allows

you to focus on the edit location without worrying that the screen will eventually scroll away from the

edit location.

When the Left Click Locks Scroll option is enabled (default behavior), the Clips pane will not scroll

if you click any object in the Clips pane. When you are done with the edit and want the Clips pane to

scroll again during playback, click in the background of the Clips pane to clear auto scroll lock.

For more information, see the online Help topic “Auto Scroll Lock in Clips pane”.

Clips pane vertical grid lines

Vertical rules in the Clips pane can be hidden, shown behind clips or shown in front of clips.

For more information, see the online Help topic “To show/hide vertical grid lines”.

Draggable Now Time marker

You can drag the Now Time marker during playback. When the mouse button is released, the

transport immediately jumps to the new location.

Note: You can only drag the Now Time marker during playback, not while recording.
