My Equipment Is Not receiving Sysx from SONAR
Make sure the instrument is set up to receive System Exclusive messages. In the Sysx View, make sure
the right output is selected. Verify that the Sysx message originally transmitted from the same kind of
instrument. An instrument will not recognize Sysx messages from a different make or model of
instrument.
Finally, try adjusting the parameters in the
Timing Requirements When Receiving Sysx
Some MIDI devices have special timing requirements when receiving System Exclusive transmissions.
If your equipment has problems receiving System Exclusive data from SONAR, you might need to
introduce some small delays to allow the equipment to digest the information it is receiving.
The line in

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
SysxDelayAfterF7=1
SysxSendDelayMsecs=200
SysxSendPacketSize=65535
