Selecting and editing events
SONAR has many editing commands that you can use to modify the events that make up your
project. Here are some of the things you can do:
• Transpose events, clips, tracks, or an entire project to a different key
• Shift events to an earlier or later time
• Stretch or shrink material to a different length
• Reverse the notes in a clip to create new arrangements
• Modify the note velocities
The following sections describe these editing commands and how to use them. SONAR also has
some special commands you can use to modify or clean up a performance or to search for or select
events that meet certain criteria.
See:
“Transposing” on page 710
“Shifting events in time” on page 711
“Stretching and shrinking events” on page 714
