2. Choose Edit-Select-By Filter to display the Event Filter dialog box.
3. Click the None button to clear the dialog box.
4. Check the Note checkbox, and enter a minimum value of C4. The maximum should already be set
to C9.
5. Click OK. SONAR selects all the notes from C4 up.
6. Choose Edit-Cut to move the selected notes to the clipboard.
7. Choose Edit-Paste and paste the events to a different track.
Process-Interpolate
The Process-Interpolate command is an extremely flexible way of manipulating the data parameters
of events. It works something like the search-and-replace function in a word processor but with scaling
rather than simple replacement.
This command uses two event filters. The first event filter lets you set up your search criteria. The
second event filter is used to define the replacement value ranges. When an event satisfies the search
criteria, its parameters are scaled between the search ranges and the replacement ranges. This permits
transposition, inversion, key signature changes, and other operations to be accomplished with this one
simple command.
In the second Event Filter dialog box, the checkboxes and value ranges for beats and ticks are ignored.
Only the replacement value ranges for the selected event types are used.
The Process-Interpolate command understands a wild card octave number in the second event filter
to mean, "replace the original note with a different note in the original octave." Using octave wild cards
for both the search and replacement event filters lets you, for instance, change all E-flats to E-naturals,
preserving the octave of each note.
A few examples will illustrate some of the many uses of the Process-Interpolate command. These
examples apply to the note event type, though the command can be used on any type of event.
