Sending Sysx banks at startup

You can tell SONAR to send certain Sysx banks to your instrument(s) each time you open the

project file that the banks are in.

To send Sysx banks at startup

1. In the Sysx view, select a bank that you want to send to an instrument when you open the current

project.

SONAR highlights the bank you select.

2. Click the Sysx view Settings menu and choose Auto Send on/off.

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 Settings menu and choose Output to open the Sysx

Bank Output dialog box.

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 box that says Ask this question every time.

If you decide later that you want to be asked, go to Edit > Preferences > File - Advanced and

select the Ask Before Sending System Exclusive (When Opening Projects) check box.
