Instrument definition - 1010 Blackbox

Hapax Hapax Instrument Definitions
1

Pretty vanilla definition file with note mapping for the first 8 sample slots. No CCs as there aren’t really any default CCs for the Blackbox, but you might want to add them. You could create another for the next 8 sample slots (the note numbers just go up sequentially) to be used in an additional drum track.

VERSION 1 # Currently, this should only be 1.

1010 Blackbox - first 8 sample slots

I’ve mentioned this elsewhere but the way I’ve come to work with my Blackbox is to always have a set of 6 generic “mod” CCs so that they’re always there and ready for me when it’s time for Blackbox to “learn” the CC.

My Pyramid def files for Blackbox have:
33:MOD1
34:MOD2
35:MOD3
36:MOD4
37:MOD5
38:MOD6

For now I’m keeping to the generic “mod” format so my Hapax Instrument Definition files all have:

[CC]
33 MOD1
34 MOD2
35 MOD3
36 MOD4
37 MOD5
38 MOD6

1010 blackbox Sequence Triggers
[/COMMENT]

Here’s a definition for the sequence triggers. This is really fun in live mode (note that triggers toggle sequences, so you kinda still have to look at blackbox to keep track of what’s enabled) and even better as a hacky song-mode.
