To Set the Tempo of a Groove Clip
When creating a new Groove clip, SONAR sets the clip’s tempo to the current
project tempo. To ensure proper stretching behavior you must set the value in the
Original BPM field to the tempo at which you recorded the clip. The tempo value of
a clip can only be changed if the clip is stretch-enabled.
Do the following to change the value in the Original BPM field.
• Click the plus or minus button to the right of the Original BPM field until the
correct value is displayed. For more precise tempos you can double-click in the
Original BPM field and enter a tempo.
To Slice a Clip
1. Double-click on a clip in the Clips pane.
The clip appears in the Loop Construction view.
2. Slice the clip using one or all of the following methods:
3. Play your project and adjust the slicing of your clip as necessary.
Note: You can use any or all of these methods to slice a clip. If you adjust both the
Slices and Trans Detect menus, two markers may be placed right next to each
other. If these markers are too close, the markers will automatically merge.
Manual markers will not automatically merge.
To do this… Do this…
Slice the clip on note divisions Move the Basic Slicing slider to the note
resolution you want. The Basic Slicing
slider’s settings range from whole notes to
64th notes. Selecting quarter notes, for
example, would create four markers per
measure.
Slice the clip at transient peaks Move the Transient Detection slider to the
right until the larger transients in the clip
are flanked by markers.
Slice the clip manually Move your mouse to the space above the
Time Ruler and double-click to add a
marker. Click and drag the marker, if
necessary, so it aligns with the beginning
or end of a transient.
