Let's say I have a midi drum track. before recording this track as audio, I want to seperate each part to its own track. I want the kick on a track, a snare on another, etc... what is the easiest way to do this in Sonar.
Let's say I have a track that has all instrument data on one track. Let's say someone recorded a loop from their triton to one trakc using the omni mode. Now i have the track, I want to edit specific parts, what is the easiest way to seperate each instrument to its own track??
 
Open PRV
You should be able to highlight the Kick in the LH window by left clicking the instrument name. This should select all of the Kicks in the track.

Ctrl+C
Ctrl+X

Open a new MIDI track
Assign it to your percussion channel (or insert a new Drum Map)
Ctrl+V

With fingers crossed, it should paste at the appropriate measure. If not, select beginning time to end time and slide until it's in the right spot.

Caveat: I've never tried this, but it's entirely possible that after Selecting the Kick, you could drag and drop into the new MIDI track.

To split notes to individual tracks just highlight the track you want to split. Go to the process menu and select run cal command.

You should have a cal script that says split notes to tracks.
Running this will split each drum/hats/cyms to a separate midi tracks.

Hey groover, thanks that did it. I actually stumbled upon it just before I read your post.
I had a loop, that I recorded to one track. Three channels. For some reason though it assigned my drums to channel 14. Any idea why, and how I could get it back to channel 10. I mean for the cal script to put what was recorded on 10 to channel 10.
I don't mean to complain, and I guess it is just me having to learn how to do these things in Sonar. But doing this in both Cubase and Logic is a lot simpler.
In both programs, there was a decent term for it. In Cubase, it is dissolve, and in Logic, I think it was "split track"
I couldn't find what I was looking for in the manual or on the online help(which appears to be the same as the manual.)
 
I don't think that link took me to where you wanted it to take me.
