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)

SONAR Is Not Receiving Sysx Messages
• Make sure all your devices are connected correctly.
• Make sure you have the right MIDI Input selected by using the
Options-MIDI Devices command.
• Make sure that your instrument is set up to transmit System Exclusive
