The patch names and other characteristics of each particular MIDI module are supplied by the manufacturer, and are contained in an instrument definition file, which is a text file written in a format Music Creator can read. Many of these files come with Music Creator, and many more are available at Cakewalk’s Web site, and also at www.lilchips.com. Instrument definition files have the extension .ins and can contain a definition for only one instrument, or definitions for several instruments. For example, the file Roland.ins contains definitions for many Roland modules. The file Misc.ins contains miscellaneous definitions that might include your instrument if you don’t see a specific file for it. You can find these files in your Music Creator folder. The file Master.ins contains all the instrument definitions currently loaded into Music Creator, and determines the list of instruments that appears in the Assign Instruments dialog box.
