Using control groups
Custom groups let you set the range of motion for each control in the group by entering a starting
and ending value. As any one control in the group is moved from its starting position to its ending
position, the other controls in the group exercise their full range of motion.
When you have defined a custom group, you can adjust the starting and ending position of each
control using the
Group Settings
dialog box or using pop-up menus on the controls in the group.
To add a control to a group
1.
Right-click on the control.
2.
Choose a group from the
Group
submenu.
SONAR adds the control to the group. Controls, knobs and faders are highlighted with the group’s
color indicator.
To remove a control from its group
1.
Right-click on the control.
2.
Choose
Remove From Group
from the menu.
SONAR removes the control from the group and displays the control with the neutral color indicator.
To remove all controls from a group
• Right-click a control in the group, and choose
Clear Group
from the pop-up menu.
To override a control’s grouping
• Hold down the CTRL key while moving the control.
The control remains part of the group and functions as such once the CTRL key is lifted.
Note:
By default, the relative gain between grouped controls that affect gain is preserved. If you
prefer the relative position of the controls to be preserved regardless of the relative gain, there
is a check box in the
Group Properties
dialog box that will toggle between these two behaviors.
Tip:
You can quickly group identical controls in multiple tracks. To do so, select the desired tracks,
then assign a control to a group. SONAR automatically assigns the same control in all other selected
tracks to the same group.
