Regenerate Tablature dialog

• MIDI Channel. This style uses the event’s MIDI channel to determine which string the note

should be displayed on. When MIDI Channel is selected, the user chooses which series of MIDI

Channels SONAR receives on. This is useful for MIDI guitarists who record parts in MONO mode,

where each string transmits on a different MIDI channel. (Values: 1 - 11). Selecting “1” will cause

it to use MIDI channels 1 - 6, selecting 2, 2 - 7, and so on.

Finger Span

The value in this field determines the finger or fret span the new TAB covers. Usually, you set this

value to 4.

Lowest Fret

The value in this field determines the lowest fret the TAB can use for the selected notes.

1st Channel

The value in this field determines the first MIDI channel of six consecutive channels that SONAR

assigns notes to, depending on which strings you play the notes on.

Number of Frets

This value is determined in the Staff View Layout dialog box, and governs how many frets

SONAR’s Fretboard can display.

Skip Channel 10 (G50)

This check box is greyed out unless you choose MIDI Channel in the Method field. If you use a MIDI

converter like the G50, Channel 10 is reserved for percussion instruments, so if you use a MIDI

guitar to transmit on six consecutive MIDI channels, check this check box to avoid using Channel 10

for your guitar.
