Matrix view

 

Note: The Matrix view is not available in SONAR LE.

The Matrix view lets you trigger individual or multiple audio and MIDI patterns, either with a computer keyboard, mouse or via MIDI remote control. The Matrix view consists of a grid, with unlimited rows and columns. You can drag audio, MIDI Groove Clips, Step Sequencer patterns and Project5 patterns to cells in the grid, and each row can be routed to any track in your project. You can record the Matrix performance to the Clips pane.

The Matrix view can be used as a stand-alone pattern trigger, or it can be synchronized with your project during playback.

There are many uses for the Matrix view, including:

Experiment with different arrangements or combinations of loops, then record the performance into the Clips pane.

Trigger any combination of loops in real-time
