Editing MIDI events and continuous controllers (CC)
Adding and editing controllers in the Piano Roll
Working with MIDI data lanes
The Controller pane allows you to display and edit non-note MIDI data, such as velocity, modulation,
pitch bend and continuous controllers (CCs), in multiple lanes at the bottom of the Piano Roll view.
When you open the Piano Roll view, SONAR will automatically create a separate MIDI data lane for
each unique data type that is present in the selected track(s).
When you click on a lane—either in the controller pane or in the scale pane—that lane becomes
“active” and turns a slightly darker shade. The significance is that the active lane is the one that
becomes controlled by the Edit menu in the top left corner of the Piano Roll view.
Each lane can be configured to show one or more event types.
Figure 211. The Piano Roll view Edit menu applies to the active lane.
See:
“To assign an Event Type to a lane” on page 675.
To create a new lane
1. Make sure the Controllers pane is shown at the bottom. If it is not displayed, click the Piano Roll
view View menu and choose Show/Hide Controller Pane.
2. Click the Plus button in the bottom left corner of any existing lane.
A new lane is inserted below the lane that was clicked. SONAR will try to automatically assign the
lane to any event type that exists in the track, provided the event type is not already assigned to
another lane.
