Other views
SONAR has a number of other views you can use to display and work on your project. To display
these view, choose the desired view from the Views menu, or press the view’s keyboard shortcut.
The Piano Roll view shows the notes from a MIDI track or tracks as they would appear on a player-
piano roll. You can move the notes around, make them longer or shorter, and change their pitches
by just dragging them with the mouse. You can also use the Piano Roll view to display and edit MIDI
velocity, controllers, and other types of information. The Piano Roll view also contains the Drum
Editor, which allows you to play different drum modules from a single track. For more information,
see “Piano Roll view” on page 1798.
