[Lyrics view] Tracks > Pick Track

This command opens the Pick Track dialog box, which lets you choose which track to display in the

Lyrics view.

[Sysx view] File > Open

Load a .syx file into the selected Sysx bank.

[Sysx view] File > Send

Transmit the current bank’s System Exclusive message. If nothing seems to happen, make sure you

have correctly set the output. This command is disabled if the current bank is empty.

[Sysx view] File > Send All

Transmit all non-empty Sysx banks.

[Sysx view] File > Receive

Dump data from a synthesizer into the selected Sysx bank. If the bank contains data, SONAR asks

you whether you want the new data to overwrite the existing data or be appended to it.

When receiving dumps, remember to connect both the MIDI In and Out ports of the synthesizer to

the MIDI interface. Also, make sure that your instruments are set up to receive and/or transmit Sysx.

Synthesizers that you normally use only to play sounds—for example, sound modules that don’t

have keyboards—don’t need to be hooked up in both directions except for receiving dumps, so it is

easy to forget this. (If you will only be sending Sysx messages to the device, the normal one-

direction hookup is sufficient.).

[Sysx view] File > Save

Save the selected Sysx bank as a .syx file. This is a good way to copy a Sysx bank between two

SONAR project files. Save the bank into a file, load the other SONAR project file, then load the bank

again. This is also a good way to copy one bank to another in the same project file.
