CAKEWALK SONAR - Searching for Events

305
To Fit Tempos to an Improvisation
1. Record the reference track.
2. Select the reference track.
3. If necessary, combine all clips in the reference track into a single clip using the
Edit-Bounce to Clip(s) command.
4. Choose Process-Fit Improvisation.
SONAR adds tempo changes as necessary to fit the tempo grid to the reference
track. When you’re done, you should mute the reference track, since the reference
track events are not rescaled.
Searching for Events
The events in a project have many different parameters. For example, all MIDI
notes have a channel, starting time, pitch, velocity, and duration. Controllers have
a controller number and value. SONAR makes it simple to find, select, and modify
events that have certain values for specific attributes.
Here are some of the things you can do and the commands that you would use to do
them:
Action... Command...
Search through a project to find the first event that has
specific attributes, and then search again to find the next
such event
Go-Search, Go-Search Next
Select all the events in a project that have the specified
attributes
Edit-Select-By Filter
Modify an existing selection to keep only those events that
have the specified attributes
Edit-Select-By Filter
Replace all events that meet specified attributes with
modified versions of the events
Edit-Interpolate
Note:
If the resulting tempo grid exceeds 250 beats per minute, you will see
an error message. If this happens, you can shorten the start times of
each event using the Edit-Length command, decrease the tempo to
compensate for the change, and then try again.
