File Description
poly-evolver.ins

This is Cakewalk's Instrument Definition file for Poly Evolver from Dave Smith Instruments. It does not have sound categories just yet.

q-categories.ins

This is Cakewalk's Instrument Definition file for a Waldorf Q series synth. The difference is that sound numbers are replaced with their respective categories, i.e., instead of "A002 Rain" it is "pad Rain". So now when you need to choose a pad, you can type "pad" in the Sonar's instrument selection box and see all sounds in this category. In other words, if you need a lead, for example, you don't need to remember that "Trennkost" is a lead as opposed to, say, pad or bass. Makes life a lot easier.

The file is based on an original version by Fredrik Haglund posted on Waldorf's site (I hope he does not mind - let me know if it is not so).

Roland-XV-3080-categories.ins

This is Cakewalk's Instrument Definition file for a Roland XV-3080 synth. It is the same idea as with Waldorf Q - all patches' names are prefixed with their respective categories, for example, 'spd' for soft pads, 'hld' for hard leads, and so on. Since XV-3080 is a general purpose box, it has a lot more categories than Q does.

Portions of this file were copied over from the instrument definition file collection prepared by Li'l Chips Systems.
