To Erase Notes Using Auto Erase
The Auto-Erase feature makes the Draw tool into an eraser as well as a drawing
tool. When the Auto-Erase feature is on, the Draw tool creates a note if used where
there are no existing notes, but deletes notes that you click on.
1. Click the arrow on the right side of the Draw tool and select Auto Erase if
it is not already checked.
2. Click on the note you want to erase.
When the Auto Erase option is enabled, clicking in the Note pane or the Drum
Grid pane creates a note if there is no note present and deletes any note you
click on.
To Temporarily Turn off Auto-Erase
If you want to edit a note’s start time or duration, you must turn off Auto-Erase.
You can do so by unchecking the menu item in the Draw tool menu. You can also
temporarily turn off Auto-Erase.
1. Hold down the Alt key.
2. Make edits in the Drum Grid Editor or the Note pane.
3. Release the Alt key.
To Scrub the Project
1. Click or press B to select the Scrub tool.
2. Press and hold the left mouse button in the Piano Roll view. SONAR displays
a vertical line and plays any notes that are underneath the line.
3. Drag the line to the left or right, at any desired speed.
Note that the Mute, Solo and Arm buttons do not affect Scrub. If the track is
hidden, however, you do not hear notes in that track.
