To Automate a DXi’s Controls in the Piano Roll View
1. Select a MIDI track that uses the DXi as an output and open the Piano Roll
view.
2. In the Controller pane in the Piano Roll, select Control, RPN, or NRPN.
3. In the Value menu below the Controller menu, click the drop-down arrow to
see the menu of automatable controls, RPN’s, or NRPN’s that this DXi has,
and select the one you want to automate.
4. In the Controller pane at the bottom of the Piano Roll view, use the Draw tool
to draw a graph of the desired controller values.
Note: MIDI envelopes in the Piano Roll Controllers pane and the Track view Clips
pane are actually separate envelopes, even if they control the same parameter.
Both kinds of envelopes are visible in the Clips pane, and should generally not be
used to control the same parameter. You can convert Piano Roll view envelopes to
Track view envelopes by selecting the time range and tracks that the Piano Roll
envelopes occupy, and using the Edit-Convert MIDI To Shapes command.
ReWire Instruments
ReWire is a technology for transferring audio data between software applications
in real time—the software equivalent of a multi-channel audio cable. ReWire is
built on the following cornerstones:
• Real-time audio streaming between applications
• Sample accurate synchronization
• Common transport functionality
SONAR supports the ReWire 2.0 format, but with some differences. SONAR
interacts with ReWire applications in the following ways:
• You can insert one instance of a ReWire application into each SONAR project.
You can insert as many different ReWire applications into a project as your
computer can handle.
• You can use a maximum of 16 devices or instruments for each ReWire
application.
• To use a MIDI controller with both SONAR and your ReWire application, you
need to enable separate MIDI In ports in both applications. If your MIDI
interface only has one input, decide which application you want to use your
controller in, enable the MIDI In port in that application, and disable it in the
other application.
