The Event List view
Here are some notes about events and their parameters:
• The Channel parameter in the Track view can force an event to play on a different MIDI channel
from the one shown in the event list.
• Pedal marks entered in the Staff view are displayed in the Event List view as controller events
(64).
• Many keyboards do not support key aftertouch and channel aftertouch. Consult the User’s Guide
for your keyboard for more information.
• When you double-click the value of a patch event, SONAR displays the Bank/Patch Change
dialog box. For more information about bank and patch changes, “To insert a bank/patch change”
on page 221.
