Integrated Arpeggiator; Support For More Midi Ports - CAKEWALK SONAR User Manual

Integrated arpeggiator

Each MIDI and instrument track has its own integrated arpeggiator, visually located in the Track
view. The arpeggiator lets you play intricate patterns of notes that would otherwise be extremely
difficult or impossible to play manually and at speeds and octave ranges that exist beyond the
physical limitations of the player or keyboard range.
Arpeggiated events are new events that are based on notes that you play on your controller
keyboard. The new events are rhythmically and harmonically specified by the arpeggiator's preset,
allowing you to "play" an endless variety sophisticated musical passages with simple key pressing.
The most significant capability of the arpeggiator is its ability to apply algorithmic variations on your
input as well as MIDI-based patterns.
