If it's plugged in, then you should see the device in Setup/MIDI Devices Configuration.

Switching the Windows OS may have changed the device's port. Is this perhaps saved in a Configuration that you have saved? You can check in Setup/MIDI Devices Configuration, then click "Config" and "Select configuration." to bring up a list of saved configurations. So, the inference to me is that when I want to share the Composer file with Forum readers, I should post the file with General Midi Instrument definitions, so that no one will experience listening distortions based on the Clavinova Patches I am using.

The Composer file with its Clavinova-compatible Instrument Definition Patches plays okay on my PC and its native sound card and of course, on my Clavinova, but David reports that the Baritone Sax sounded scratchy when he played it on his PC with his sound card through Composer. It seems though that I have created a problem. I have found that I can modify any of my starting templates one time to match the Clavinova, and every time I use that starting template, my instrument definitions are all set for when I transport the exported midi file to the Clavinova to create a WAV file (which I can convert to MP3) to share with my friends on and off the Forum. With Sherry's support and guidance, I have imported a Yamaha INS file for an earlier model, which appears to have most, if not all, that I need.

Sherry and I have been having an offline discussion about this topic relative to my Yamaha Clavinova, and I am (I hope) becoming more knowledgeable about the INS file and how to use it. There is another site for Yamaha INS files at inition_Files_for_Yamaha_MIDI_Instruments The following are some links to information and tutorials (and a few more INS downloads, too): If you cannot find your MIDI device among the files we already have here, or at the sites in the links of this thread, or by using a search engine to look for it, you can create your own. If you import the INS file and then select that device as the playback device, you will see all the "cool instruments" listed in the instrument grid (rather than just the General MIDI list) and when you select one, the bank numbers will be for the particular instrument you select.

By having an INS file, you don't have to manually enter the bank and patch numbers (or manually modify the device description yourself by typing in all the information in Setup/MIDI Device Configuration/Properties). You can always enter the specific bank and patch numbers for your device in the Staff/Setup of any staff in order to get the special sounds from any MIDI playback device that you have.Īn INS is a file that is set up with all the bank numbers, instrument patch numbers, and names for all the special sounds of the particular MIDI playback device (eg. Is there anyway to create one that is not available? So INS files allow Composer to recognize more than the 128 GM instruments that are a specific keyboard.

ins file that is not included here, please feel free to post it in this thread. Tyros users can find INS files at "Heiko's page ()". You can find that at inition_files_for_yamaha_midi_instruments. exe) that contains the INS files for a lot of older units (pre-2004, from the look of the web page).
Yamaha also has a single self-extracting file (it's a. There is a website at which contains a boatload of INS files for Yamaha keyboard synths. Fortunately I had downloaded all of the ones they had at one time, and since they don't seem to be generally available, I'm going to post them here just to keep them available for our and other users. Cakewalk used to have an ftp page that contained a lot of these. It then saves that information as your device description when using Notation software. Notation Musician and Notation Composer both can import an "instrument definition" file, the format which was developed and defined by Cakewalk. You can hand-enter the different instrument names into the grid to create a "MIDI device description" (.mdd) for your device, but that takes a while. In other words, when you select "Horn" from the Instrument patch grid, you probably don't want to hear temple bells :) If you use a MIDI device that is different than the GM standard instrument set, you probably want to use an "instrument definition" file (.INS) to give you the right instrument names for the right patch numbers.
