Instrument Definition Request

Anyone have definitions for Behringer Poly-D, Monopoly, Roland D-50, Casio VZ-1, Casio CZ-1, Kurzweil K2VX, Korg DW-8000, Korg SV-1, Ensonique TS-10, or VFX? Or Strymon Mobius, Timeline, or Bigsky. Or Chroma Console or Microcosm? Thanks!

if you cant find them in a search, probably no. so make one and share it with us!

In addition to what @solipsvs said, your Behringers don’t support MIDI controls beyond keypress, velocity and pitchbend. A definition wouldn’t contain much worth sharing. However, because of their rudimentary nature they’re a good place to start if you want to create your own definitions. Set name, hapax port, synth midi port and you will not have to remember those ever again.

D-50 and most (all?) of your 80s/90s synths use SysEx for deeper control which Hapax doesn’t support. So without an additional MIDI processor, creating a basic definition file like above is all you can do.

And please, don’t ask ChatGPT for definitions. At least at this point in time. It will happily pretend to generate them for you but they won’t work and you will have wasted your time.
