Sysx Data
Saving MIDI Files Containing Sysx
Banks
If a MIDI Þle has System Exclusive Auto-Send banks, then Pro Audio
saves these in a MIDI Þle as System Exclusive messages at the very
beginning of the song (1:1:0). If the song has other MIDI data starting at
1:1:0Ñfor example, notesÑit wonÕt be played correctly because the
System Exclusive transmission will delay the start. The beginning of the
song will sound garbled.
The solution is to start the song at measure 2, leaving room for the
System Exclusive. (A good rule of thumb is to slide everything later by
one measure, but you could use an even longer duration if need be.) If
you have tempo changes, meter/key changes, or markers in your song,
youÕll have to use cut and paste to cut the entire song and paste it a
measure later. If you have only notes in your song, you can use the File-
Open command instead, which requires fewer steps.
Make sure you set the Sysx bank to Auto send in the Sysx view before
saving the .
MID Þle. After saving it as a .MID Þle, use the File-Open
command to load it again and open the Sysx view. YouÕll notice that the
Sysx has been split up into many different banks. You can send all these
banks of Sysx submessages by clicking in the Sysx view. There is a
necessarily small delay after each Sysx bank is sent. Any names you give
the banks will not be saved as part of the .
MID Þle.

File Settings
The TTSSEQ.INI initialization Þle contains settings that govern the
sending and receiving of System Exclusive information. If you are
experiencing difÞculties using Sysx, you will probably be able to correct
the problem by adjusting these settings.
