Unintended Sysx data

Recommended Posts

I've been using a Nektar LX49+ keyboard with Sonar/Cakewalk/Sonar for many years.  I use it almost exclusively as a keyboard, not as a control surface.  Just recently, I am seeing sysx data when I view the Event List in every MIDI file.  Files older than the past few months don't have any sysx data.  What's going on?? 

I discovered it when I encountered a situation where Arturia's Synthx V plugin was silent for many presets.  If I export the recorded MIDI track and then re-import it, Synthx V plays fine.  Not sure what the sysx data has to do with it, but even deleting the sysx events didn't make those presets work - only exporting and then importing.

Is there something that got accidentally turned on in Preferences that I should turn off to avoid this?

There's a place (in MIDI options?) to choose to record Sysex data or not.  

But if the sysex data is causing a problem, it should cause that same problem every time it is sent from the source device, not just when it's played back in a track.  If you don't see that happening, I'd guess the sysex isn't causing the problem, but some other data that is not exported in a MIDI clip (i don't know what is and isn't).
