It's the Matrix View loop player in Sonar 8.5.3.<br>
You insert almost any format of music file, speech, noises, .wav, .mp3. Rex Files, midi files, into cells on a matrix, like a grid of lines and columns.<br>
It's all well-labeled, and inside a cell you have a bunch of options as to how a loop or file plays, and a place to assign it to a key on your midi keyboard.<br>
Actually you just press a key and it gets assigned to play that loop.<br>
You can assign as many keys as your keyboard has.<br>
Since it's in Sonar, it is subject to Sonar's great specs and features and may also be subject to Sonar's occasional crashes as well.<br>

Nothing even close to as easy as Sonar's matrix View loop player is found in any other daw.<br>
<br>
You assign, in a cell on the matrix grid a sample, loop, even a midi file or rex file to play from one of your midi keyboard keys, plus you can set how that key interrupts, or is interrupted by , other keys playing their loops.<br>
And, each field within a cell is labeled and reads, 100% accessible on a PC.<br>
Sonar crashes a lot, though, unless it has a powerful computer to handle all those files playing together<br>
I've run across schemes in the Cockos forums to do a few of those things, in Reaper, like assign a midi note message to trigger a sample or whatever,but Sonar's Matrix View has it all set up for you.<br>
I'm sure they could be rewired together, with Sonar's Matrix View output feeding Reaper's track view, to record it there.<br>
Also, on my list of things to try is to assign Sound Forge as Reaper's external editor, so I can try routing a virtually finished track into Sound Forge, and render it there.<br>
Occasionally I hear tracks rendered on a PC in Sound Forge that sound as huge as they do with tracks rendered in Apple's core audio.<br>

most of the things a sighted person clicks on or gets to from a right click menu can be found in a menu or actions list, its just a matter of figureing out how to re route that command to the keyboard. I don't see why One couldn't set reaper as one of the audio editors in sonar. And either using rewire or if your interface has enough i/o you can route out of sonar's matrix view into tracks on reaper should you so choose. On the mac this would be done a little easier with something like sound flower.<br>

Has anyone ever tried to get Reaper assigned as Sonar's preferred external editor, as can be done with Sound Forge, or vice-versa, Sonar as Reaper's external editor, so that digital files can bve passed between them without rendering to audio; or is this an off-the-wall impossible idea?<br>
I'd love to use Sonar's matrix view to play loops, and maybe be able to record their output in Reaper, where I'm a little more at home with what I'm doing.<br>
Could we rewire them together, for the advantages of each?<br>

It would be so so valuable to be able to convert Sonar project files into<br>
Reaper ones though.<br>

Ah, thanks Indigo. This will probably be pretty helpful. I think I've<br>
managed to solve the problem I mentioned regarding pasting. I was<br>
accidentally pasting onto a seperate track and not realising.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
