You don't need to use Sysx meta-events for sending System Exclusive information at the beginning of
your project. Instead, use the Auto option for System Exclusive banks. Banks that are marked Auto are
transmitted automatically by SONAR when it loads the project file they are stored in. Use the Sysx
meta-event only when you need to send a Sysx Bank during the middle of the project.

Real-time Recording of System Exclusive Messages

You can record short System Exclusive messages in real time. These will end up in the track as the new
Sysx Data types of events, which can hold System Exclusive messages up to 255 bytes long. Before you
record any Sysx messages, choose Options-Global, click the MIDI tab, and make sure that System
Exclusive is checked.

on, make sure that the Output field of the track is set to the output that the MIDI instrument you want
to send Sysx data to is on.
