3. If you want to create an envelope to control any other MIDI controller, choose
Envelopes-Create Track Envelope-MIDI....
The MIDI Envelope dialog box appears:
• In the Type field, choose what kind of MIDI event you want to control
with your envelope.
• In the Value field, choose the name of the controller you want to edit.
• In the Channel field, choose the MIDI channel that you want the envelope
to send data on, and click OK.
SONAR creates the envelope you chose.
4. Move the cursor over the envelope until a vertical, double-ended arrow
appears under it, and right-click the envelope.
The Envelope Editing menu appears.
5. Choose Add Node from the menu.
A node (very small rectangle) appears on the envelope.
Note: A shortcut to create a node is to double-click the envelope.
6. Move the cursor over the node until a cross appears under it, and drag the
node in any direction you want.
When you release the mouse, the envelope changes to follow the node’s new
position.
7. Double-click the envelope to add another node.
8. Drag the new node in any direction you want and release the mouse.
9. Move the cursor over the segment of the envelope that lies between the two
nodes until the double-ended arrow appears, and right-click the envelope to
open the Envelope Editing menu.
10. Choose one of the following shapes from the envelope editing menu:
• Jump—This choice causes the envelope to make a ninety degree jump
when the envelope reaches the second node. SONAR displays jumps with
a dotted line, meaning that there is automation data at the nodes where
the dotted line begins and ends, but not where the line itself is.
• Linear—This choice draws a straight line between the two nodes.
• Fast Curve—This choice draws a curve between the two nodes that
changes value rapidly at first, but more slowly toward the end of the
curve.
• Slow Curve—This choice draws a curve between the two nodes that
changes value slowly at first, but more rapidly toward the end of the
curve.
