Filtering Events
The Event Filter command lets you remove events from the MIDI data, keeping
or passing through only those events that you specify. The Event Filter effect
works almost identically to the event filter used by the Edit-Select-By Filter
command. For more information, see “Event Filters” on page 306.
To Apply an Event Filter to MIDI Data
1. Select the data to be affected.
2. Choose MIDI Effects-Cakewalk FX-Event Filter from the Process menu or
from the popup menu to open the Event Filter dialog box.
3. Set the event filter parameters.
4. Click OK.
SONAR applies the specified event filter to the selected data, removing all those
events that do not meet the filter criteria.
Adding Arpeggio
The Arpeggiator command applies an arpeggio to its input and plays it back in
real time. You can make it arpeggiate with a swing feel, or straight and staccato or
legato, vary its speed and direction, and specify its range.
The parameters used to specify the arpeggiator effect are as follows:
Parameter/Option... Meaning...
Swing (%) The distortion of timing used to produce a swing feel. A value
of 0% indicates a straight rendition; negative and positive
values produce distortion of the timing grid. For more
information on swing, see “Swing” on page 297.
Rate The delay between successive notes.
Units The units used to specify the delay. You may specify delay in
ticks, in milliseconds, or as a note duration.
Legato (%) The smoothness of the notes of the arpeggio. 1 percent plays
each notes and releases it instantly. 99 percent plays each
note up to the start of the next note.
Path The direction of the arpeggio. Options are Up, Up (arpeggios
go up), Up, Down (arpeggios go up, then down), Down, Down
(arpeggios go down), Down, Up (arpeggios go down, then
up).
Play thru The disposition of the notes you play to specify the arpeggio.
Checked plays the original notes. Unchecked filters out the
original notes.
