Automation
To paste an envelope
1. Select the track(s) and location (Now Time) you want to paste the data to.
2. Press CTRL+ALT+V or use the Edit > Paste Special command.
The Paste dialog box appears.
3. Choose a track and location to paste to, if you haven’t already.
4. Click OK.
SONAR pastes the automation data and any other types of data you chose in the
box into the track and location you selected.
You can reassign an envelope to control a different parameter from the one it originally controlled.
For example, you can reassign a volume envelope to control pan.
To reassign an envelope
1. Set the track’s Edit Filter control to the desired automation parameter (Track Automation or
Clip Automation).
2. Move the cursor over the envelope until the cursor changes to a double-ended arrow, and right-
click the envelope.
The Envelope Editing menu appears.
3. Choose Assign Envelope > (name of the parameter you want the envelope to control).
The envelope changes color to reflect its new parameter assignment.
