Please Note: More in-depth information about creating/importing/assigning Instrument Definitions specific to your Cakewalk software can be found in your Help documentation. If you are using one of these instruments, you can use instrument definitions to make sure that the names of banks, patches, and controllers that you see in your Cakewalk software are the same ones you see on the display screens of your MIDI keyboards and modules. In addition, some older MIDI instruments are not GM compatible. The names of patches and controllers that you initially see displayed throughout your Cakewalk software are drawn from the GM specification.Īt the same time, many MIDI instruments provide additional sounds and controllers beyond those required by the GM standard. Your Cakewalk software initially assumes that your MIDI instruments are GM compatible. Most MIDI instruments available today are General MIDI (GM) compatible, which means that they come with the standard set of sounds or patches defined by the GM standard. If an instrument definition is not available for your instrument, and you are familiar with MIDI and how it works, you can import or create your own instrument definition. Instrument definitions for many popular MIDI instruments are included with Cakewalk software. An instrument definition is a file that contains the names of the banks, patches, note names, bank select method, and controllers of an instrument. Instrument definitions are a powerful feature that make it easier for you to find the banks, patches, and controllers of your MIDI instruments.
