The Chord Analyzer has a single parameter:
To Analyze a Chord
1. Select the notes to be analyzed.
2. Choose MIDI Effects-Cakewalk FX-Chord Analyzer from the Process
menu or from the popup menu to open the Transpose dialog box.
3. Click the Audition key.
SONAR displays the chord and its name.
To clear the display, press the Clear button.
Note: When analyzing chords you may see chords being displayed before you hear
them. You can reduce the amount of time these chords appear ahead of playback.
To do so, open the MIDI tab in the Global Options dialog (Options-Global) and
enter a lower value in the Prepare Using “N” Milliseconds Buffer option.
Excessively low values may cause glitches during playback, so it is best to
gradually reduce the value in this option until the desired result is achieved.
Changing Velocities
The Velocity command lets you adjust velocities of MIDI notes. You can set
velocity values, set scale values, add specific or random offsets, create smooth
transitions, and limit the velocity range.
The velocity effect options are as follows:
Parameter/
Option...
Meaning...
Examine every x (MIDI
ticks)
The frequency with which the Chord Analyzer samples
the chord. Lower numbers (smaller intervals) are more
accurate, but require more computation.
Parameter/
Option...
Meaning...
Set all velocities to X Sets all velocities to the specified value.
Change velocities by X Adds a specified increment to all velocities.
Scale velocities to X% of
their current value
Multiplies all velocities by a constant factor.
Change gradually from X
to Y
Creates a smooth velocity change across the selection.
