TAB to transients
TAB to transients
You can use the TAB and SHIFT+TAB keys to jump to audio transients, and MIDI Note events.
Tabbing is only possible when the transport is not rolling.
TAB to transients is selection-based, which means tabbing will go to the next/previous transient
amongst all selected clips. If there is no selection, tabbing operates on the current track.
To move the Now time to the next transient
• Press TAB.
To move the Now time to the previous transient
• Press SHIFT+TAB.

The following table shows how TAB to transients applies to different SONAR clip types.
TAB to transients in the Piano Roll view
In addition to the Track view inline Piano Roll, TAB to transients also works in the Piano Roll view. If
multiple tracks are displayed in the Piano Roll view, tabbing only operates on the current track.
Clip type TAB target
Audio Groove clips. Each slice.
"Stretch to tempo" clips (clips that are
not groove clip looped but use groove
clip for rendering).
Each slice.
Regular audio clips. Each transient as detected by AudioSnap.
Slip stretched audio clips. Each transient as detected by AudioSnap, scaled to the stretch
amount so tabbing continues to line up perfectly.
MIDI clips. Each Note event (MIDI Controller data is ignored).
Note: If there are multiple Note events at the exact same tick
position, only one of the notes will be tabbed to.
MIDI Groove clips. Each Note event.
Step Sequencer clips. Each step that contains a note.
