Other MIDI playback settings
Two other MIDI settings can affect what happens when you play back your project, as described in
the following table.
To set these options, go to Edit > Preferences > Project - MIDI . If you have set up a playback loop,
enabling either of these options can cause an audible delay when the loop is restarted.
See:
“Controlling live MIDI playback—MIDI echo” on page 241
Option How it works
Zero Controllers When Play
Stops If this option is enabled, SONAR zeros (resets) the pitch wheel, the pedal
Controller, and the modulation wheel Controller on all 16 MIDI channels
whenever playback is stopped. It also sends a “Zero All Continuous Controllers”
MIDI message, which turns off other continuous Controllers on newer
synthesizers. If you experience frequent stuck notes when playback stops, try
checking this option.
Patch/Controller
Searchback Before Play
Starts If this option is enabled, SONAR searches for and sends the most recent patch
change, wheel, and pedal events on each output and MIDI channel before
starting playback. This ensures that all these settings are correct, even if you
start playback at an arbitrary point in your project.
