the Sysx bank is transmitted. Sysx banks are usually sent to your instrument
when you load your work file. SONAR asks you each time you load a project file if
you want to send any existing Sysx banks the file contains that are marked for
auto-sending. Clicking the Auto Send Bank button in the Sysx view toolbar
marks or unmarks a selected bank for auto-sending.
Sending Sysx Banks at Startup
You can tell SONAR to send certain Sysx banks to your instrument(s) each time
you open the project file that the banks are in.
To Send Sysx Banks at Startup
1. In the Sysx view, select a bank that you want to send to an instrument when
you open the current project.
SONAR highlights the bank you select.
2. Click the Auto Send Bank button .
A checkmark appears next to the bank name in the Auto column to show that
the bank is marked for auto-sending.
3. While the bank is still highlighted, click the Output button to open the Sysx
Bank Output dialog.
4. Enter the number of the output you want to send this bank out through, and
click OK.
The output number you entered appears next to the selected bank in the
Output column.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each bank you want to send, and save your project.
The next time you open a project, SONAR asks you if you want to send any Sysx
banks in the project that are marked for auto-sending. If you click OK, SONAR
sends the bank(s).
If you want SONAR to send auto-send banks every time you open a project without
asking you, uncheck the checkbox in the Auto-Send Sysx dialog that says Ask this
question every time. If you decide later that you want to be asked, use the
Options-Global command to open the Global Options dialog, click the General
tab, and check the checkbox that says Ask Before Sending System Exclusive
(When Opening Projects).
