MidiGalaol.com Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 Let me ask again: does any sequencer out there, that uses Cakewalk Pro Audio 9, have a patch or an instrument definition (not sure which this is) called Glass Harp? Send the word, send the word, Over There! I need this sound desperately. A Happy New Year to all of you too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 For what synthesizer? ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidiGalaol.com Posted December 30, 2000 Author Share Posted December 30, 2000 David, I can use a patch or an instrument definition from MANY synths, but I have a Yamaha. Do you have that patch? The file ending for it MUST be compatable for Cake, so it must be .ins for me to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have that patch? I am way unclear as to what you are asking for - if I understand you correctly, you're asking for the parameters that will give your synth a certain sound, right? If so, I'm afraid that you can't just load a generic pacth into any synth - the patch has to be compatible with/written for that synth. If you have a certain typeof Yamaha, that usually means that you need a program written for that specific Yamaha. Sometimes some synths by the same manufacturer may be somewhat compatible, but as a rule it's not 100% Am I understanding wht it is that you are looking for correctly? BTW, I am a Mac guy, and have no Cakewalk anything. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbajazz Posted December 31, 2000 Share Posted December 31, 2000 I think I remember an early DX7 patch called Glass Harp. (lots of glass in the old DX.) Does DX7 setting info do you any good, if I can locate it? (sorry - not familiar with your format needs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidiGalaol.com Posted December 31, 2000 Author Share Posted December 31, 2000 Yes, Brian, I can use DX7. Is that Roland? And to the other people who helped, thanks so much. What I'm looking for is a patch that is used when one sequences midi music and I use Cakewalk Pro Audio 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 31, 2000 Share Posted December 31, 2000 It sounds to me like you're looking for some sort of variation instrument within an XG synth. However I just looked up my XG guide from my MU90 (albeit the 90 has a few less patches that later MU synths) and don't see any Glas Harp. I do, however, see Glas Perc. and Nylon Harp. GlasPerc is Patch 115/Bank 97. NylonHarp is patch 100/Bank 64. There's also Harp Vox which is patch 100 bank 65, and GlassPad which is Patch 92, Bank 65. There's a bunch of Synth variation sounds in bank 64 & 65 that you should check out and might work well. If you have a Yamaha XG synth like the MU 100/128, the QY series, or their soundcard or even a Yamaha softsynth, I suggest looking in the patch list for the instrument and finding the patch by program change & bank number. Otherwise I can't tell what you mean - since I'm not a Cakewalk user (you won't find many of those in this forum), my usual use of the term "instrument definition" is for a whole synthesizer, not just one patch. Plus if you're looking for one specific patch, you can technically only load it onto your synth if it's a sampler or a patch made for that synthesizer. I hope this helps..

And to the other people who helped, thanks so much. What I'm looking for is a patch that is used when one sequences midi music and I use Cakewalk Pro Audio 9. This is getting very confusing. You mentioned before that you use "a Yamaha". Now you're asking if a DX7 is a Roland. You also said "I can use a patch or an instrument definition from MANY synths, but I have a Yamaha". If I may make a suggestion, I think the best think you could do at this point, is tell us: 1) Exactly what synthesizers you're using, including model names and numbers, and 2) Exactly what it is you're hoping to get. In Cakewalk, an instrument definition, as I understand it, is a list of the banks and patches in a particular synth. It provides a list of patch names, and the appropriate bank and program change numbers required to get to those patches. It doesn't include any sysex data, it's just a map of patch names and bank/program change numbers. So, right away, your request is confusing. An instrument definition wouldn't have a name like "Glass Harp", it would have a name like "Korg M1" or "Roland JV2080". You need to be more clear about what you're asking for.
