How do I change a midi note?

Figure out what note the snare should be and "TRANSPOSE" all of your notes to get there.

There are different ways to do it, but one is to open the track in Piano Roll View, double click the kick note on the left virtual keyboard in PRV to select all of those notes in the row, then hold the shift key and drag one of the notes up or down to the new note location. All of the notes will move to the new location, and holding shift will constrain the movement to up and down (won't be able to move left or right and accidentally change the notes' placement in time).

I think this could be done in the Event Inspector Module.

Remove an unneeded module in the Control Bar by right clicking on it and select Hide Module.

Right Click an empty space on the Control Bar and select Event Module Inspector (it should appear in the Control Bar... if not you need to remove another module because the Event Inspector is kind of big).

Open the PRV for that drum track (select the clip in the Track View then go to Views at the top of your Sonar window and select the Piano Roll View)

Then in the Piano Roll View right click and drag to lasso all the notes you want to change or select them some other way.

Punch in the note value for the sound you want to change those notes to in the Event Inspector Module and press Enter.

I think that's how it's done. I watched Scott Garrigus perform something similar in a Digifreq video he posted the other day.

But yeah... lots of ways to do this. That is just one. 

Cheers.

Yeah... my suggestion is probably a little convoluted.

Ok, I'm a PRV idiot. I was able to get to the PRV view and change the note, but the midi wasn't lined up. Now I have the midi notes lined up and went to repeat the process and it's not working. I was able to hear the drum notes by hitting a key in the PRV. Now I don't hear anything. I'm a moron.

Don't be hard on yourself, man. This stuff is tricky. Just undo what you've done (Ctrl + Z) until it reverts back to it's original state and try again. Good luck.

Thanks for the help. Evertime I think I'm getting good at this stuff, something like this happens and reminds I have a lot to learn.

btw, it looks like you only have to click once on the left keyboard note to select all in a row in X2. I think it used to need a double click at some point, but maybe not. Anyway, one less click at least in X2.

No no, Mr. Garrigus. Thank you. That video taught me stuff I was completely unaware of. Very well executed and extremely useful.

Cheers! 

Just for the record, if you have a lot of notes, just select the whole track in track view.  The go to Select | Select by Filter and select C3 (if that's the kick note).  Then Process | Transpose +2.

Or select the whole track, go to Process | Find/Change and change all the C3s to D3s.  Adjust the values if those are not your kick and snare notes.

I just saw this, is it here?  http://www.garrigus.com/pwrbkinf.asp?BookID=14

I did it,  Woo Hoo !!  Thanks for the replies guy's they really helped.  Beepster the Event Inspector suggetion was perfect. Scott's video explained it perfectly, and I was able to apply to my project.  It was very simple and exactly what I needed for my work flow. 

Thanks Scott. Your videos are great.  I'll keep my eyes open for them in the future.

late to the party another way ( I think) 

Highlight track 

Process/ Transpose/+2 = C3 moves to D3  

But I always use the piano roll and highlight the note and drag. Faster. Forgot about shift key trick that's a good reminder, thanks. 

Scott, Do you look like your picture?  It looks a little Photoshopped.
