Edit Bytes; Delete; Load Bank And Save Bank - CAKEWALK PRO AUDIO User Manual

Edit Bytes

Although Pro Audio is designed mainly to store System Exclusive data
for you, you can edit the bytes of shorter messages in hex format (many
of the more popular synthesizers have special patch-editing programs
available that let you edit data using sliders and other tools rather than
raw hex data).
When you click the Edit Bytes button, Pro Audio converts the binary
data into a text representation and pops up the Edit System Exclusive
Bytes dialog box, in which you can edit the text. If you make changes
and click OK to keep them, Pro Audio tries to convert the text back into
binary format. YouÕll get an error message if the text does not begin with
an F0 and end with an F7, which are the System Exclusive begin and
end bytes.
Pro Audio may not be able to convert the data to text format. The text
representation requires three to four times more memory than the data
itself, and the Edit System Exclusive Bytes dialog box can contain
roughly as much text as Notepad.

Delete

This deletes the selected bank.
Load Bank and Save Bank
You can load and save individual banks to the Þle format used by the
popular public-domain MIDIEX bulk dump utility. The Þle extension
used is . . If you try to load to a bank that isnÕt empty, Pro Audio asks
SYX
if you want to append or replace. The Load and Save buttons work only
with MIDIEX format Þles, not Pro Audio song Þles or MIDI Þles.
Because the Þle format is the same as MIDIEX, you can load Sysx Þles
youÕve obtained from friends or web sites.
You may also use this feature to copy a Sysx bank between two Pro
Audio song Þles. Save the bank into a Þle, load the other Pro Audio song
Þle, then load the bank again. This is also a good way to copy one bank to
another in the same song Þle.
