StudioWare
Sysx Bank
The widget sends System Exclusive messages. The StudioWare view
allows you to deÞne Sysx messages that tell Pro Audio how to package
data values into a Sysx message for transmission or recording and also
how to extract data values from an incoming or previously recorded Sysx
message.
You can use Sysx Bank events to transmit one of the songÕs 256 banks
(numbered 0 through 255) of System Exclusive data. These banks can be
recorded, viewed, and edited in the Sysx view, and each bank can contain
one or more very large System Exclusive messages. Type the number of
the bank in the Bank Þeld.
Sysx Data
You can also use Sysx Data events, which can each contain a single
System Exclusive message. This message can be up to 255 bytes long.
Each song can contain a virtually unlimited number of Sysx Data
events. You can view and edit bytes of recorded Sysx data in the Event
List view.
If you choose Sysx Data, the Data Þeld lets you type in the hexadecimal
bytes of the Sysx message that the widget will send. You can also enter
an alias or an expression in place of any byte in the Sysx message, but
the alias or expression must be surrounded by parentheses. (See ÒAlias
FormulasÓ on page 11-31 for more about aliases and expressions.) When
the message is sent or recorded, the current value of the alias or
expression will be inserted into that byte slot in the message.
Furthermore, an alias reference in the body of the Sysx message will
create a two way connection between that alias and the message. The
alias value will update in response to a matching message that has been
received at an input port or that is being played back from a song in Pro
Audio.
