C
SONAR 5 has many new features (some features are in SONAR Producer only). The
following is a list of each new feature, and a brief description.

V-Vocal

The new V-Vocal feature integrates Roland's VariPhrase technology directly into SONAR
Producer. V-Vocal is a vocal processor that not only does pitch and formant correction on
notes and phrases, but can correct timing. It also has a unique vibrato function. See "V-Vocal
Clips" on page 391 and "Using V-Vocal" on page 392 for more information.

Integrated VST Support

SONAR now seamlessly integrates VST plug-ins. The VST Configuration Wizard runs
automatically on startup, registering all your VST plug-ins. See "The VST Configuration
Wizard" on page 403 for more information.

Inline Piano Roll View

The new Inline Piano Roll view lets you edit note and controller events directly in the Track
view.
See "The Inline Piano Roll View" on page 257 for more information.

Streamlined Piano Roll View

The Piano Roll view has a new look: you can choose to combine the Controller pane with the
Notes pane, allowing more visual synchronization and more editing room for both kinds of
data.
Individual controller events now have edit handles, and you control what controllers you can
edit with the new Edit MIDI Event Type menu. You control the display of controllers and
notes with the new Show/Hide MIDI Events menu. Notes display their velocity values as
columns that you can drag up or down with the Draw tool. You can edit mutiple selected
events at the same time. Tooltips appear when you edit with the Select or Draw tools,
displaying the position of the cursor, and other helpful information.
