It’s worth mentioning that the midi notes can be edited in the “utility” mode of the TR8S. There are 2 sets for each instrument, general and “alt” notes. I find the initial grouping to be strange, so you can set them to something that makes more sense to you.

For some reason this file isn’t working for me? The list shows on the Pyramid but non seem to have any effect, is there a setting within the TR8S that I need to adjust?

Which file isn’t working? Three files are given above.

Sorry I meant the first file, the CC file. I’ve added the note file below it and that works perfectly but the CC’s aren’t doing the trick, the list shows on my pyramid but has no effect on the TR8S. I’ve used other definition files on my other synths and they work fine so i’m wondering if it’s a setting in the TR8S that I need to adjust?

You may need to set Rx EditData to ON, which can be found in the UTILITY button.

Perfect, that’s done it, thanks

Stupid question…how to i get this info into the hapax? Make a text file and put it on sd card???

This definition is for the pyramid. You‘d need to reformat it for Hapax. Unless maybe there is a version for it already. Check the appropriate section of the forum. But then, yeah, copy it onto an SD card.
