Smart MIDI Tools

Smart MIDI Tools revolutionizes SONAR's MIDI editing by providing you with a powerful and customizable workflow innovation. You get three tools which can each be configured to perform multiple operations to suit your editing style. By providing capabilities to perform multiple MIDI operations without the need to switch tools, Smart MIDI Tools greatly speeds your editing sessions.

Out of the box SONAR 7 provides three preconfigured Smart MIDI Tools; the default tool can be used to draw, select, erase, and edit notes and controllers. You can create your own Smart MIDI Tool presets by selecting from 20 different mouse actions and assigning them to edit functions such as slip-editing and transposition, and new MIDI editing features including split, glue, event mute, and drag quantize. You also get control over specific edit behaviors: change the way draw and erase works, it's all user-definable.

Custom Smart MIDI Tool assignments can be saved as presets and apply to both the Piano Roll View and the Inline Piano Roll. If you're switching to SONAR 7 from another application, it includes presets that match MIDI operations in other popular applications such as Logic, Cubase, and Digital Performer.
