Editing MIDI events and continuous
controllers (CC)
SONAR lets you edit the events in your projects in dozens of different ways. The Piano Roll view lets
you add and edit notes, controllers, and automation data interactively, using a graphic display.
SONAR’s many editing commands can improve the quality of recorded performances, filter out
certain types of events, and modify the tempos and dynamics of your projects. The Event List view
lets you see and modify every detail of your project. Finally, you can apply a variety of effects and
filters to enhance your MIDI data.
