To configure a cell as “one-shot”
• Right-click the cell and select One-Shot Trigger on the context menu.
The Loop Mode and Latch Mode buttons in the cell are hidden. When One-Shot Trigger mode
is enabled, loop and latch settings are ignored, and the cell only plays one repetition from
beginning to end.
To disable One-Shot Trigger mode, right-click the cell and select One-Shot Trigger on the
context menu.
To synchronize a pattern with the project’s Now time
• Make sure the Cell Start toggle is in Offset to Now Time mode before you trigger the pattern.
When you trigger a cell in Offset to Now Time mode, the pattern will start playing in sync with the
Now time after the amount of time listed in the Trigger Resolution menu. It’s as if the cell’s
pattern is repeated throughout the song and you unmute the pattern at a certain point.
To synchronize the Matrix with SONAR’s transport
• Make sure the Follow Transport button is enabled.
Patterns will now only play when SONAR’s transport is rolling.
To trigger a cell
•Do one of the following:
• Click the desired cell.
• Use the ARROW keys on your computer keyboard to navigate to the desired cell, then press
ENTER.
• If the cell has been assigned to a MIDI event, press the appropriate key, pad or button on your
MIDI controller. For details, see “To trigger a cell or column via MIDI remote control” on page
1894.
• After the cell has been triggered, the cell blinks until the Trigger Resolution is reached, at
which time playback starts.
The global Cell Start toggle determines if the pattern will play from the beginning of the pattern
or synchronize to the project’s Now time. In Always from Beginning mode , patterns always
start from the beginning. In Offset to Now Time mode , patterns synchronize to the project’s
Now time.
