To Change Your Project’s Default Pitch
1. Display the Markers toolbar, if it’s not already displayed, by using the View-
Toolbars-Markers command.
2. In the Default Groove-Clip Pitch dropdown menu at the right end of the
toolbar, choose your project’s default pitch.
SONAR transposes each groove clip that has the Follow Project Pitch option
enabled by the difference between the clip’s Reference Note and the current
Project Pitch. Your project’s pitch changes wherever you insert a pitch marker. If
you don’t insert any pitch markers, your project stays at its default pitch.
To Create a Pitch Marker
1. In the Track view, right-click in the Time Ruler.
2. Select Create a Marker from the menu that appears.
3. The Marker dialog appears.
4. In the Groove Clip Pitch dropdown, select a pitch.
5. Click OK.
To Move a Pitch Marker
• Click and drag a pitch marker to a new location on the Time Ruler.
MIDI Groove Clips
MIDI Groove clips are MIDI clips that you can roll out like audio Groove clips, and
you can also choose to have SONAR transpose MIDI Groove clips when your
project reaches a pitch marker.
You can change any MIDI clip into a MIDI Groove clip (or back into a regular MIDI
clip) by selecting the clip and using the Edit-Groove Clip Looping command. A
MIDI clip that has its Groove clip feature activated appears with beveled edges in
the Clips pane.
Here are some other features of MIDI Groove clips:
• You can roll out copies in either direction (just like audio Groove clips). The
Snap-to-Grid setting determines what beat boundaries (if any) you can roll to.
• You can edit individual repetitions without altering any other copies (unlike
audio Groove clips). Note: If you then roll the edge of your MIDI Groove clip
back over the area you edited, you will lose your edits.
• All new repetitions are based on the first clip (just like audio Groove clips).
However, if you split a repetition from its original source clip, the repetition
becomes independent: if you copy this clip, SONAR treats it as an original clip.
