6. Name each track and set any track parameters, such as starting patch,
volumes, panning, reverb, chorus, and transposition.
7. If you like, configure other parameters needed in your projects, such as auto-
send Sysx banks, tempo settings, window positions, and comments.
8. Choose File-Save, and save the file as a template named
MY3SYNTHS.
Now, each time you want to start working on a new project, you can simply load
your template and start recording.
Key Bindings
Key bindings let you associate SONAR commands with keys on both your MIDI
keyboard and your computer keyboard. This makes it easy for you to access
specific features more quickly and efficiently.
In addition, SONAR supports:
• Importing key bindings from other popular sequencer programs (see
“Importing Key Bindings” on page 523)
• Exporting key bindings from SONAR (see “Exporting Key Bindings” on page
523)
• Use of any single key as a key binding (number keys on the number pad are
separate keys from the other number keys)
• Changing the key bindings for commands that were previously hardwired,
including hotkey commands in the various views
Any one or two of the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys can be used in combination with
other keys. Preset key combinations appear in bold, with the command that
they’re currently assigned to listed at the bottom of the Key Bindings dialog.
Rather than tie up all the notes on your MIDI keyboard with key bindings,
SONAR lets you define a key binding shift key on your MIDI keyboard that
indicates when you want to use a key binding. For example, you could designate
the lowest note on your MIDI keyboard as the key binding shift key, and then
assign different notes to specific commands (for example, C4 to Process-
Quantize, C5 to Process-Groove Quantize, and so on). If you press the C4 key
by itself, the note plays normally. If you press the C4 key in combination with the
lowest key on your keyboard (the key binding shift key), then it’s just as if you had
chosen the Process-Quantize command from the menu.
