Importing, Creating, and Dumping Sysx
Banks
There are several ways to get a sysx bank into SONAR:
• You can import (load) an external .
SYX file.
• You can edit an empty bank to create a new bank from scratch.
• You can dump a bank into SONAR from the synthesizer itself.
To Import a Sysx Bank into a Project
1. In the Sysx view, select an empty bank to import the new bank into
(unless you want to add to or overwrite an existing bank).
2. Click the Load Bank from File button .
The Open dialog appears.
3. If necessary, navigate to the folder that contains your .
SYX files, select
the one you want to import, and click Open.
The file appears as a new bank in the row you selected in the Sysx view. If
you want SONAR to send this bank every time you open this project, make
sure the bank is selected (highlighted), and click the Auto Send Bank button
. A checkmark appears in the Auto column next to all auto-send-enabled
banks.
To Create a Sysx Bank
1. In the Sysx view, select an empty bank, and click the Edit Data button
(or double-click the empty bank).
The Edit System Exclusive Bytes window appears.
2. Type your message(s). Each message you add to 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 typing the message(s), click OK to close the window.
After you close the editing window, your new bank appears in the Sysx
view. Use the buttons in the toolbar to name it, give it an output number,
and mark it for auto-sending, if you want. Save your project when you’re
finished.
