Sonar FX rack

[charles kasler]

I just opened the new sonar and there's something different about the FX rack, I can't quite understand how it works. It looks like I don't have access or able to view all of the FX at one time and have to go through a menu. I don't know if it's a real estate problem on my computer but it's quite different from CBB. Am I missing something, how do you use the new FX rack? Thanks

update - there is a tiny scroll bar to the right of the 1 FX that is visible, as in channel strip 4 in the image. I can scroll between FX when there's more than one but can't see them all at once. In CBB the FX box (whatever it's called) used to grow larger with each new FX I add.

Also, there are handle bars you can use to resize UI elements, such as the height of the Console View's FX Bin. They are a design feature you can see all over the new UI.  Below you can see it at the top of the FX Bin I grabbed from your image.

  

PS: Resizing limits (in this case vertical max and min) seem to be fixed on the basis of individual UI elements.  Not sure if they affected by scaling settings or any other parameters. So, you might find that you can resize the height of the Track View FX Rack to show more than in the Console View's FX Rack.

(3) typos fixed and other corrections done; (2) added a PS; (1) added an image with an arrow pointing to the handle bar that allows us to resize UI elements in the interest of clarity

Thanks! That got me started. FYI for anyone else who experiences this, I had tried moving those little handles but only one of them worked, for whatever reason. I finally disabled the navigator at the top or whatever that's called since I never use it, and then my effects appeared like magic. It will just take some time getting used to the new ui, not to mention when I get a new computer and go up to Windows 11 it will probably change the UI again. Thanks again.

The UI of Sonar is the same in Win 10 as it is in Win 11
