Thanks for the definition file! Sad that we have to comment out other instruments to swap in and out the Toms. Has anyone got a better workflow? ---

Thanks @jonintro. I don’t own a Nava but I’m curious about if you can control the cc for pitch of any given drum using this definition file? I guess not. I cannot download the manual for the Nava and my googling is inconclusive about whether the drum pitch (or anything else, decay etc) can be controlled by external CC.
