Integrated Step Sequencer view

Step-sequencer

SONAR 7's new dedicated Step Sequencer view provides the most innovative step sequencer feature set available in any comprehensive DAW today.   

  • Sequence up to 16 steps per beat with 64 beats per pattern
  • Supports odd time signatures (non 4/4 meters)
  • Features a powerful "Fit Pattern to Quarters" control that fits patterns into a lengths of any number of quarter notes for creation of polyrhythmic parts (5 against 4 rhythms, hemiolas, septuplets, etc.)
  • Control velocity offset and scale values in an entire row all at once
  • MIDI controller automation drawing
  • More: step ties; monophonic/polyphonic toggle switch; global portamento toggle switch with time control; swing and articulation controls.

Integration with SONAR's advanced Drum Mapping and MIDI routing provides capabilities for simultaneously triggering sounds from different instruments from the same step sequencer—perfect for working with complex or layered drum kit setups with sounds sourced from different instruments.
