Surround effects
SONAR lets you use your existing stereo or mono effects as surround effects. SONAR does this
through the SurroundBridge, which automatically sets up your existing mono & stereo plug-ins so
you can patch them into surround buses (buses,
not tracks ).

The SurroundBridge
The SurroundBridge automatically loads enough instances of a plug-in to handle all your surround
channels. For example, if you patch a
stereo effect into a surround bus that uses 5.1 SMPTE/ITU
panning, the SurroundBridge automatically assigns the Left and Right channels of the bus to
instance 1 of the plug-in, assigns the Left Surround and Right Surround channels to instance 2, the
Center channel to instance 3, and the LFE channel to instance 4. If you patch a mono effect into a
surround bus, the SurroundBridge assigns each channel to a single instance of the mono effect,
which would create six instances of the effect on a 5.1 surround bus. You can view and edit these
assignments on the
SurroundBridge tab that’s in the property page of every effect that’s patched
into a surround bus. For example, if you want a certain effect on the Left Surround channel of a
surround bus, but not on the Right Surround channel, you can assign these two channels to different
instances of the effect you’re patching by choosing options on the
SurroundBridge tab of the
effect’s property page.
The SurroundBridge also links the automatable parameters of each instance so that when you
change a parameter in one instance, you automatically change the same parameter in all the other
instances. You can unlink parameters individually, or per-instance (see
“How to patch and configure
surround effects” on page 994).
