Using the System Exclusive View
The System Exclusive window has a list box for the 256 banks, plus
buttons. Most of the buttons affect whatever bank you have selected in
the list. Certain buttons will be disabled if the selected bank is empty. To
open the System Exclusive view, choose the Sysx command from the
View menu.
Here is a description of the buttons in the Sysx view.
Send
Send transmits the current bankÕs System Exclusive message. If nothing
seems to happen, make sure you have correctly set the port (see later in
this chapter). This button is disabled if the current bank is empty.
Send All
Send All transmits all nonempty banks.
Receive
Receive dumps data from a synthesizer into the bank. If the bank
contains data, Pro Audio 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 soundsÑfor example, sound modules
that donÕt have keyboardsÑdonÕt 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
sufÞcient.)
To Receive System Exclusive Data from a Synthesizer...
1.
Choose Options-Global and click the MIDI tab, and make sure
that the System Exclusive item is checked. If it isn't, Pro Audio
won't receive System Exclusive messages.
