Real-time Recording of System Exclusive
Messages
You can record short System Exclusive messages in real time. These will end up in
the track as the new Sysx Data types of events, which can hold System Exclusive
messages up to 255 bytes long. Before you record any Sysx messages, choose
Options-Global, click the MIDI tab, and make sure that System Exclusive is
checked.
To Record Sysx Messages in Real Time
1. Arm a MIDI track for recording—use a track that’s uses the output you want
to send the Sysx data out through.
2. Press the Record button or press r to start recording.
3. Move the button or fader on your MIDI instrument that sends Sysx data.
4. Stop recording.
SONAR records your instrument’s Sysx data as a Sysx Data event. Open up the
Event List view for the track you recorded on to view the data. When you play back
the MIDI track that the Sysx Data event is on, make sure that the Output field of
the track is set to the output that the MIDI instrument you want to send Sysx data
to is on.
