Hi, gang.
 
Well it seems a very basic task, yet I'm stumped...
 
Can someone please explain to me how to create a simple, clean sine wave within SONAR (i.e. what synth to use, and how to generate the tone itself)?
 
I'm able to achieve what I want just fine with Audacity's built-in Tone Generator or Chirp plugins, but it'd be nice to not have to bother with another program for something that seems like it should be so easy to do in a program as powerful as SONAR.
 
I appreciate any direction!
 
PS: I'm aware that Z3TA+ 2 has a built-in sine wave generator, but I only have Z3TA+.
 
 
SONAR X3e Producer

When I saw the subject I immediately thought "Audacity".  I'm not aware of anything in or bundled with Sonar that does this.
 
Personally, I have no problem using whatever does the job with the least effort/best results

Nothing that comes bundled I don't think. But probably some of the free TAL vstis (http://tal-software.com/Products) would make quick work of that.

Psyn II and Pentagon can both do it.

MOscillator is part of the MeldaProduction MFreeEffectsBundle

Pentagon gets an error when I try to load it ... I need to TS that.
 
PSYN II would take me a week to figure out how to make a pure sine wave at a given freq.
 
Did PSYN come with Sonar, or do we have that from P5?  Or both maybe

I think it was a free download at some point. I never had P5.

Using z3ta+: Click Program, then Initialize. In Oscillator 1 select SINE for the WAVE setting (right click twice to go from OFF to SINE). Adjust the A envelope generator as required.

Depends on how clean a sinewave you need, and if you need a specific non-musical frequency like 1 KHz.
 
If it's for testing or calibration purposes, you'll want to use a third-party editor such as Audacity or Audition to generate the signal. The aforementioned MOscillator will do it, too. Also included in the free pack from Meldaproduction is a useful noise generator.
 
But if it's just to gate under a kick drum or something like that, just about any soft synth can do it: Z3ta+, Pentagon, even the TTS-1 has a sinewave patch. 

Dimension Pro, Rapture, both can do it to load with just open one of them up initialize it then open up on one of the elements and choose the sine wave. You can then edit the sine to the way you want and even save for later use. My favorite for this would be would be Zeta+ 2 for it shows a graphic of the sine which can be again shaped to anything you like. Rapture Pro also does this yet I'm still learning that one. Still others are Drop Zone, Square 1, Triangle 1 and 2 all can do that.
