I'm now kicking myself, as I should have suggested the Matrix View. This
gives you a grid where each cell in the grid can contain either an audio or
a MIDI clip. All cells in the same column can be triggered to play at the
same time, so you could have columns that represent verses, choruses,
breaks, etc., and/or individual cells (or groups of cells) can be triggered
by mouse or MIDI message. Finally, you can set latching modes for each cell
that control how long it plays. For example, you could set a MIDI cell to
trigger on the next beat after you press a note on your controller - it
could then either play to its end, to the end of the current measure or
continuously until you press your MIDI note again. The overall performance
can be be recorded to traditional tracks, if that's what you want. It takes
a bit of getting used to, especially for an aged traditionalist like me, but
it should do what you want with a bit of fiddling around and practise.
Best wishes.

The nearest thing in Sonar is the Step Sequencer (don't get it confused with
the Step Record function). It's not great accessibility-wise, but it can be
made to work to some degree if you hit it hard enough.

Jean Philippe, I don't know of anything, but wouldn't simply looping a part
of a track do? Until you got what you wanted? Best steve.

Hi all,
does anyone know of an accessible midi looper that one could insert on a
sonar midi track, and that would allow building MIDI loops on-the-fly, a bit
like old rhythm machines or hardware sequencers such as the MPC 3000 ?
Best regards,
JPR
