Re: Different Sequencer question

["Udayan Choudhury" <uday@gw1.vsnl.net.in>]

Hello Mr. Bill,

I am a very humble music enthusiast from North-East India and I know very
little about the stuffs which are discussed here but I think you are
probably talking about 'system exclusive messages'. You should find
information about implementation of this messages in the manual of your
sound source- in this case, the orbit. (Sorry! I am hearing that name for
the first time and would like to know more about it) In Cakewalk, you can
also store this messages in the system exclusive banks which are provided
just for this purpose.

regards to all,
Uday.
