SONAR highlights the bank you select.
2. Click the Auto Send Bank button .
A checkmark appears next to the bank name in the Auto column to show that the bank is marked
for auto-sending.
3. While the bank is still highlighted, click the Output button to open the Sysx Bank Output dialog.
4. Enter the number of the output you want to send this bank out through, and click OK.
The output number you entered appears next to the selected bank in the Output column.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each bank you want to send, and save your project.
The next time you open a project, SONAR asks you if you want to send any Sysx banks in the
project that are marked for auto-sending. If you click OK, SONAR sends the bank(s).
If you want SONAR to send auto-send banks every time you open a project without asking you,
uncheck the check box in the Auto-Send Sysx dialog that says Ask this question every time. If
you decide later that you want to be asked, use the Options > Global command to open the Global
Options dialog, click the General tab, and check the check box that says Ask Before Sending
System Exclusive (When Opening Projects).
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).
