Sonar Masterclass

Welcome to the first in a new series of tutorials for Cakewalk's Sonar sequencer. There's a lot of flexibility built into Sonar, and throughout this series we'll be exploring some of the many ways of achieving a variety of goals with this excellent music making package.

SONAR 2.0's Drum Grid Pane

Timing and velocity information are the key to making a MIDI drum track sound realistic, so we’ve made it easy to edit these parameters in a single window. The Drum Grid Pane allows you to add or delete notes, paint them in with the new Pattern Brush, and modify any note property. You decide the number of grid lines displayed in the grid, and whether or not to show note velocity "tails."
