Extracting keyswitch articulations from existing MIDI data

Sonar stores articulations separate from regular MIDI data in a track. If you have a MIDI track that has keyswitch articulations embedded as regular MIDI events, Sonar can extract the keyswitch MIDI events from the track and convert them to articulations.

To extract keyswitch articulations from a MIDI track:

1.	Make sure the project already contains the target articulation map (see Using Articulation Maps).

2.	Right-click in the Articulations pane at the top of the Piano Roll view name area, point to Extract Keyswitch Articulations, then select the desired articulation map from the submenu. The submenu lists all articulation maps within the current project.

After selecting an articulation map from the submenu, Sonar will attempt to match events within the MIDI track to any articulations. The end result is that the matching MIDI events are extracted from the track and converted to articulations.

The following limitations apply:

It will only support articulations that use Generated MIDI Events

It will only extract keyswitches based on Notes, Control Change, or Program Change events

When matching an articulation that generates multiple events, it will only match events if they are in the same MIDI clip
