Sysx .INI File Settings
The TTSSEQ.INI initialization file contains settings that govern the sending and
receiving of System Exclusive information. If you are experiencing difficulties
using Sysx, you will probably be able to correct the problem by adjusting these
settings.
The options described below occur in the [Options] section of the
TTSSEQ.INI file.
You can edit this file using the Windows Notepad. Every time you add or change
one or more lines in
TTSSEQ.INI, you must restart SONAR in order for the change
to take effect.
SysxSendDelayMsecs=n
This setting causes SONAR to delay n milliseconds if it encounters an F7 in a
System Exclusive bank, but only if the line SysxDelayAfterF7=n is not zero. The
line SysxDelayAfterF7=n enables a delay between Sysx messages, while the line
SysxSendDelayMsecs=n sets the size of the delay.
n = 60 Default value (in milliseconds)
SysxDelayAfterF7=n
This setting causes SONAR to delay Sysx transmission for a certain amount of
time if it encounters an F7 in a System Exclusive bank. This gives some
instruments the required amount of “breathing” time necessary to process the
Sysx transmission. The default delay is 1/18 of a second, but can be changed by
also adding the SysxSendDelayMsecs=n line, where n is the number of
milliseconds that the delay lasts.
The possible values of n in the line SysxDelayAfterF7=n are 0 and 1. Their
significance is as follows:
n = 0 No delay
n = 1 Delay between each Sysx message
SysxSendPacketSize=n
System Exclusive bytes are transmitted in packets, with a 1/18-second default
delay between each packet. Setting this value to a smaller number will help slower
synthesizers avoid overflowing their internal buffers. This line sets the number of
bytes between each Sysx transmit delay.
n = 1024 Default value (in bytes)
