Windows Taskbar Indicators
When SONAR is running, you’ll normally see two indicators in your Windows Taskbar, right next to the
clock.
The MIDI activity monitor
contains two lights that indicate MIDI input and output. When you play
your MIDI keyboard, the first light flashes when each note is pressed, and it flashes again when each
note is released. When you play back a project that contains MIDI, the second indicator lights up.
The volume control
is used to control the playback and record volumes on your sound card. Double-
click on this indicator to open a dialog box that lets you control the levels for audio, MIDI, CD playback,
and record.
The volume control is available only if your sound card is using a native Windows driver. If your sound
card does not use a native Windows driver, no volume control will be displayed in the taskbar. In this
case, your sound card probably came with a separate program to control input and output levels. See
your sound card documentation for more information.
Screen Colors and Wallpaper
SONAR lets you customize the colors that are used for virtually all parts of the program using the
Options-Colors

displayed in the SONAR window.
