Ahh, but there is a thing using it this way - there is no way to press enter to apply it to the track as you can by clicking through the menus use it and then press enter which the changes the data in the track...
If using this method Scott, does the velocity get saved with the midi file for use elsewhere, or is the effect in reality only then availble if using it within a Sonar Project folder?
To illuminate - if I select a transpose change in the Inspector (left side panel) and save the midi as an SMF, the transpose is applied at saving time, does the same happen with the method you describe to use the MIDI effects?
Thanks
