For example: Faders, Mutes, Solos and Transport Control will control those parameters in Sonar. Exceptions and specific details follow: Additional Transport Keys SET + REW = RTZ SET + FF = Go to Tail IN locates to the beginning of the selection area OUT locates to the end of the selection area SET + IN sets Punch IN point at the current playhead position SET + OUT sets Punch OUT point at the current playhead position SET + REC starts automation recording. A parameter must be armed for automation. SHIFT + SET + IN sets Loop In Point at the current playhead position SHIFT + SET + OUT sets Loop Out Point at the current playhead position SHIFT + IN = sets Selection In Point at the current playhead position SHIFT + OUT = sets Selection Out Point at the current playhead position <<LOCATE locates to previous marker LOCATE>> locates to next marker SET + LOCATE>> = Drop Marker at the current playhead position Transport Wheel · Turn the data wheel clockwise to jog forward or counterclockwise to jog backward. · When the key is off, the data wheel moves the transport in one measure SHTL steps. Holding the SHIFT ...
Pan & EQ When the EQ/PAN LED is illuminated: · The lowest of the four encoders shown at right will control the Pan parameter of the SELected channel in Sonar. · The encoders labeled as GAIN, FREQuency and Q will control those parameters of the EQ band selected by the illuminated buttons on the SELected channel in Sonar. Bands 14 of Sonar’s Channel EQ is supported. · The first time an EQ Band key is pressed, it selects the appropriate lower band, pressing the same button again selects a higher band.
