1152 System exclusive data
Troubleshooting
The line in TTSseq.ini that reads SysxDelayAfterF7=n enables SONAR to introduce a delay
between each Sysx message so that the instrument has some time to respond to the message.
Setting n to be 1 enables the delay. The line SysxSendDelayMsecs=n lets you control how many
milliseconds the delay is, where n is the number of milliseconds that the delay lasts.
Roland equipment
Some Roland equipment—notably, the GR-1 and GR-50 Guitar Synthesizers—have problems
receiving Sysx packets in fast succession. You must use the setting SysxDelayAfterF7 = 1 with
these devices.
Ensoniq instruments
Successfully sending Sysx messages to most Ensoniq instruments requires that you add the
following three lines to the [Options] section of TTSseq.ini:
SysxDelayAfterF7=1 Enables delay
SysxSendDelayMsecs=200 Sets delay time to 200 milliseconds
SysxSendPacketSize=65535 Increases packet size to 64k
