Importing Instrument Definitions
When you install Pro Audio, a few common instrument deÞnitions are
already set up for you and ready to use. Pro Audio also includes several
hundred additional instrument deÞnitions that you can import.
These instrument deÞnitions are stored in Þles, organized largely by
manufacturer. For example, all the instrument deÞnitions for Roland
gear are stored in the roland.ins Þle; all the instrument deÞnitions for
Yamaha gear are stored in the yamaha.ins Þle. The Þle M
contains miscellaneous instrument deÞnitions. If you donÕt see a Þle for
the manufacturer of your instrument, look in this Þle to see if it contains
the instrument you are looking for.
If Pro Audio does not include an instrument deÞnition for your MIDI
instrument, you can Þnd additional and updated instrument deÞnitions
on the Downloads section of the Cakewalk World Wide Web site
(www.cakewalk.com). Simply download the Þles to your Pro Audio folder,
unzip if necessary, and import the instrument deÞnitions as described
below.
When you import an instrument deÞnition, it is added to the master
instrument deÞnition Þle master.ins. The contents of this Þle determines
the list of instruments that appear in the Assign Instruments dialog box.
