The step size and the duration can each be set to one of three things:
The Auto Advance option automatically advances recording to the next step when
all MIDI input stops. For example, if you press the three keys that make up a C
major chord, as soon as you release all three keys, SONAR automatically advances
to the next step. This makes it very easy to record a series of chords that are
spaced at regular intervals.
With Auto Advance disabled, you must click Advance each time you want to
advance to the next step. While this requires more effort, it also provides you with
more flexibility. For example, with Auto Advance disabled, you do not even need to
play the notes at a single step at the same time! You can play any number of notes
one at a time, and they will all be recorded at the same step until you click the
Advance button. You can even record notes of different durations at the same step
– simply record the notes of one duration, change the duration, and play more
notes, without clicking Advance.
You can click Delete to erase the notes you recorded in a single step. If Auto
Advance is enabled, the Delete button deletes the notes played at the prior step,
and it also backs up a step so you can rerecord the notes at that step. With Auto
Advance disabled, the Delete button erases any notes you have recorded at the
current step.
