More about Dump Request Macros
DRMs are deÞned in your
CAKEWALK
.
INI
Þle in the [Dump Request
Macros] section. You may add your own DRMs or modify the ones that
we have provided. Use the Windows Notepad to edit the Þle. Comments

Þle itself describe how to write DRMs. The speciÞc
Sysx messages can be found in the instrument manual, or they can be
obtained by contacting the manufacturer. Remember that a DRM must
start with F0 and end with F7.
Sometimes you will Þnd that the byte size is different when you use a
DRM, as opposed to initiating the dump from the instrument. It is
possible the instrument is dumping some additional information when
you initiate the dump from the instrument, but you should be able to use
either method without any problems.
Please note that many of the DRMs included with Pro Audio have been
donated by customers who are using the particular equipment. In some
cases, we have not been able to test those DRMs because we do not have
access to that equipment. We redistribute such DRMs on an as-is basis.
Additional user-supplied DRMs may be available on the Cakewalk web
site (www.cakewalk.com).

Auto
The Auto option tells Pro Audio to transmit that bank every time it loads
the song Þle. You might use this option for banks that contain System
Exclusive messages that load a set of sounds for a synthesizer at or
before the start of a song.
Before transmitting, Pro Audio asks your permission. This is a safety
feature for loading a Þle you have received from someone else; if it
happens to contain data for your synthesizer(s), you might lose your
patches and conÞguration information. However, if you donÕt want to be
asked, choose
Options-Global , click the General tab, and uncheck the
box labeled Ask Before Sending Sysx.
Port
Each bank is transmitted to a particular MIDI port, just as a track is.
Click this button to change the port.
