| 2645.1 | SYSEX != Sequences | DECWIN::FISHER | "I am NOT a Merry Man"--Worf | Wed May 22 1991 18:15 | 18 |
| I think you are mixing together two different things:
SYSEX is a message that you send to a synth (or whatever) which is
EXclusive to that particular SYStem. Something like "define a tone
called Mars Harp to be some weird combination of waves". Cakewalk
does some minimal stuff with these. It basically can store some bytes
and send them on request.
On the other hand what most people would think of as sequences are
pretty well standardized. If you can get the "standard midi file",
you should be able to slurp that into Cakewalk pretty easily. The
question remains, now, does your synth write standard midi files, and
does it write files in a format that your PC can read. For that, you
will have to either supply the name of the synth or read the manual.
Or you could plug your disk into your pc and see if you can read it :-)

This may be obvious, but ...
If you do have to go the play/record route to move the sequences, you
can jack the tempo way up on the playback sequencer and transfer them a
lot quicker. I do this all the time, transferring from my computer
based sequencer to a dedicated Brother sequencer. Can do a 5 minute
song in about a minute.

| 2645.3 | 5 Times as Fast in How Many Ways? | DRUMS::FEHSKENS | len, EMA, LKG2-2/W10, DTN 226-7556 | Thu May 23 1991 18:02 | 6 |
| re .2 - it is sort of obvious, but one thing that's never been resolved
satisfactorily for me is what (if any) sort of timing corruption may sneak
in as a result of multiplied tempo transfers.

| 2645.4 | It Worked | WR1FOR::SWEETEN_SC | | Fri May 24 1991 15:22 | 5 |
| Thanks for the previous info. I tried the fast-dub approach and it
seemed to work pretty well. I think I ran it about 3 times the speed.
I did get a "midi buffer overflow" message from the sysnth. I'm not
sure exactly what that means but after re-adjusting the tempos everything
seemed to be intact. Thanks again. Scott

| "MIDI buffer overflow" means that the internal processing done by
the synth couldn't keep up with the incoming data. There's a FIFO
buffer that tries to keep stuff smooth...
