SONAR LE Documentation is based on the full version of SONAR. Some screenshots, folder paths, features and other references may differ from your installation.

Opening the view

There are several ways to open the Piano Roll view:

In the Track view, select the track you want to see, then choose Views > Piano Roll View or press ALT+3

In the Track view, right-click on a track and choose Views > Piano Roll from the pop-up menu

Double-click on a MIDI clip in the Clips pane

In a soft synth’s property page, click the Open View button to open the default MIDI editing view.

Each selected track is displayed. To switch to different tracks, click the Piano Roll view Tracks menu and choose the track you want.

The Piano Roll view lets you edit notes and controllers during playback or recording, in real time. This means you can loop over a portion of your project and hear any change you make on the next loop. The Piano Roll view also shows notes on-screen as you record them.
