Saving Groove Clips as Wave files/ACIDized Wave files
Once you have created a Groove clip in SONAR, you can save the clip as a Groove Clip/Wave file,
compatible with ACIDized wave files.
To save a Groove Clip as a Riff Wave file/ACIDized Wave file
1. If you have not already done so, create a Groove clip. See “Creating and editing Groove Clips”
on page 708.
2. In the Loop Construction view, click the Clip menu and select Save Loop .
The Save As dialog box appears.
3. Use the toolbar in the Save As dialog box to navigate to the location where you want to save the
file.
4. In the File name field, enter a name for the file.
5. Click the Save button.
To drag and drop a Groove Clip into another program
You can drag and drop clips from SONAR to another application or to a directory in Windows. When
you drag a file from SONAR, the source file is copied and the copy is placed in the new directory or
application.

Using pitch markers in the Track view
Pitch markers change the pitch at which Groove clips sound. All Groove clips in SONAR that have
the
Follow Project Pitch option enabled adjust their pitch as they encounter pitch markers in
SONAR. If there are no pitch markers, all Groove clips play at the default project pitch, unless the
Follow Project Pitch parameter is disabled.
