MIDI / XG Problem

[Devilfire]

Usual MIDI Sequencer: Voyetra's Digital Orc Pro
New Sequencer: Cubase VST 5
Module Used: XG (SW1000XG Soundcard)

Now heres the problem:

The files i created in "digital orc" have sysEx data on them, which contains the XG data , when i export as MIDI and import in Cubase the instruments are sometime there but when looped the SysEx data gets reloaded, which means if i make any instrument changes they will just go back to original arrangment, including effects ...

THIS IS A SERIOUS problem for me , any help would be useful

It's not a serious problem at all, In Digital Orc' simply click onto the even button and choose the instruments one by one and you will see the settings and delete them there. You can also click onto the Track View button and press play, if there is no sound for the first few bars then, if they look like they have something in them, simply highlight the first few bars and delete them. but remember, I usually find the instruments for each track first, otherwise once you delete the settings, you also delete the instrument settings too. So, try to find the instruments first if they're not viewable in Track View, then you can delete the first few bars. Also, be sure that you check the end of the song file just be sure that it also hasn't got the settings to reset the song again when the song finishes playing.

Hope this helped a little,

i check inside of "digital orc" and theres nothing in the system exculsive list - i also checked the event list and i dont see anything wrong in there

This is what iwas TRYING to do
(sequencer#1)
Digital Orc:
The music was created here , so ill just make some simple note edits here and save in MIDI Format .MID

(sequencer#2)
XGworks:
This program gives me full control over XG parameters, so after importing the MIDI file i will change all my instruments (remix)

(sequencer#3)
Cubase SX
This is where i will mix the audio and the MIDI together
(import MIDI File)

But its just not working ..

...do you have any Hex editor ? If so, then open the file using one, and try to remove bits/data between F0 to F7. This could help... Anyway, I'm using SONAR, it was loooong ago when I was using Dig Orc & Cubase, so I could be wrong... Make sure you back up your data first.
