Track Outputs dialog
Track Outputs dialog
The Select Track Outputs command opens the Track Outputs dialog box, which you use to assign
a highlighted track to a MIDI or audio output.
The Track Output dialog box has only the following fields:
MIDI Outputs
Choose the MIDI output that you want this track’s data to be sent to. The MIDI Outputs field is
grayed out if the selected track is an audio track.
Audio Outputs
Choose the audio output that you want this track’s data to be sent to. The Audio Outputs field is
grayed out if the selected track is a MIDI track.

Transpose dialog
The Process > Transpose command opens the Transpose dialog box, which allows you to
transpose the pitches of MIDI and audio clips up or down by a fixed number of half-steps. It does so
by changing the MIDI key numbers of note events and by pitch-shifting audio clips. Simply enter the
number of half-steps in the Amount field of the Transpose dialog box; a negative number to
transpose down, a positive number to transpose up. See “To transpose selected events” on page
688.
SONAR can also perform diatonic transposition, which shifts all the notes up and down the major
scale of the current signature by the designated number of steps. For instance, if you specify an
amount of +1 and the key signature is C-major, a C becomes a D (up a whole step), an E becomes
an F (up a half step), and so on. Diatonic transposition assures you that the transposed notes fit with
the original key signature.
As an option, you can choose to transpose selected audio clips along with any selected MIDI clips.
SONAR uses pitch-shifting to perform the transposition. You can transpose audio only a single
octave in either direction (-12 to +12), and you cannot transpose audio when you are using diatonic
transposition.
The Transpose dialog box contains the following fields:
Amount
The number in this field tells SONAR how many half-steps, up or down (depending on whether you
enter a positive or negative number), to transpose the selected data, unless you check the Diatonic
