Editing Sysx Banks
Editing a Sysx bank is very similar to creating one.
To Edit a Sysx Bank
1. In the Sysx view, select the bank you want to edit, and click the Edit Data
button (or double-click the selected bank).
The Edit System Exclusive Bytes window appears.
2. Edit your message(s). Each message in the window must begin with F0 and
end with F7 (that’s F zero and F seven). See your instrument’s manual for the
messages you can create.
3. When you finish editing the message(s), click OK to close the window.
Save your project when you’re finished.
Sysx View Buttons
Here is a description of the buttons in the Sysx view.
Send
Send transmits the current bank’s System Exclusive message. If nothing seems to
happen, make sure you have correctly set the output (see later in this chapter).
This button is disabled if the current bank is empty. The shortcut key is s.
Send All
Send All transmits all non-empty banks. The shortcut key is l.
Receive
Receive dumps data from a synthesizer into the bank. If the bank contains data,
SONAR asks you whether you want the new data to overwrite the existing data or
be appended to it. The shortcut key is c.
When receiving dumps, remember to connect both the MIDI In and Out ports of
the synthesizer to the MIDI interface. Also, make sure that your instruments are
set up to receive and/or transmit Sysx. Synthesizers that you normally use only to
play sounds—for example, sound modules that don’t have keyboards—don’t need
to be hooked up in both directions except for receiving dumps, so it is easy to forget
this. (If you will only be sending Sysx messages to the device, the normal one-
direction hookup is sufficient.)
