The Event List view
Editing events and event parameters
The Event List view lets you add, delete, or change events one by one. You can also print the list of
events or audition the events one at a time to see how they sound.
You can change the parameters of any event by moving the rectangular highlight to the cell you want
to change and doing one of the following:
• Type a new value and then press ENTER.
• Press the - and + keys on the numeric keypad to decrease or increase values by a small amount.
• Press the [ and ] keys to decrease or increase values by a larger amount.
• Click and hold the mouse button, and then drag the mouse up or down to change the value by a
small amount.
• Click and hold both mouse buttons, and then drag the mouse up or down to change the value by
a larger amount.
• Double-click a cell, and then enter or choose a new value.
If you change the time of an event, it may also change its position in the event list. The Event List
view follows that event to its new location.
If you try to change the event type (kind of event), SONAR lets you choose the kind of event you
want from a dialog box. When you change one kind of MIDI event into another kind of MIDI event,
SONAR preserves the parameters as fully as possible.
To insert a new event
1. Move the highlight (use the mouse or arrow keys) to the point at which you want to insert an
event.
2. Press INSERT, or click . SONAR makes a copy of the highlighted event.
3. Change the event to the kind of event you need by double-clicking the name of the event that’s
listed in the Kind column. The Kind of Event dialog box appears.
4. Choose what kind of event you want and click OK. SONAR changes the highlighted event to the
kind you chose.
5. Edit the event time and other parameter values as required.
If the Event List is initially empty, pressing the INSERT key creates a default note event.
To delete an event
1. Move the highlight (use the mouse or arrow keys) to the event you want to delete.
2. Press DELETE, or click .
SONAR deletes the event.
Note: Shape events cannot be edited, only deleted.
