Using System
Exclusive Data
SONAR™’s System Exclusive (Sysx) librarian provides you with 8192 banks in
which to hold MIDI System Exclusive messages. A bank is a storage area plus
some associated parameters such as a destination output and an optional
description. Each bank can hold any number of messages; the amount of data it
can hold is limited only by available memory. The banks are saved in the SONAR
project file. Each bank can also be saved as a .
SYX file.
