Hi guys
New(ish) Pyramid user here. Ive searched this topic and have seen one or two similar queries, but they dont appear to offer a solution in my case… am trying to load a definition file for my Analog Four mk2 and despite it showing up in my call list, selecting it doesnt do anything, whereas when i try and call up any of my other definition files (i.e digitone, modor nf-1, arturia micro freak) they select with no issue. The definition file has been formatted and saved as plain text .txt format just as with the other def files ( i put them together at the same time so the process in each case was identical). Below is the defnition list. Any pointers would be hugely appreciated : )

Maybe this line?
Also, you are only allowed to use 8 characters per line, so it could also be an error?
hey, thanks for replying
yeh that line only did that when i copied it over from the .txt file, in the original file its separated as it should be. good point re: the 8 characters per line, will try that and see what happens
thanks!
nope- truncated each line so none were exceeding 8 characters and same issue…

How many Definitions do you have?
Hi
11- 4 for each track on the digitone, 4 for the A4, 1 for modor, 1 for Arturia MF and 1 for Yamaha dx reface. All work apart from the A4 ones
Okay, so far the only issues I’ve heard of Pyramid not recognising Definition Files has pretty much been “too many Definitions” or using some RTF format and not a strict .txt file. I’m assuming you’re using the latest PyraOS.
Apologies I don’t have more troubleshooting steps. Definition Files are pretty much so straightforward usually.
No worries at all, thanks for taking the time to chip in. Pretty sure it’s the latest OS but will double check
Cheers!
It would also be worth a try to take out all values and leave only 2 or 3 values.

One thing to check that tnussb mentioned over on Elektronauts is ensuring that you only have one definition for a given Port/Channel.
Posting that here in case anyone is searching for a similar issue and that may be their cause.

Yeh was the first thing I checked/changed
quick update for anyone in the future looking at this issue- swapping out spaces for underscores didnt make a difference, nor did truncating the character length down to 8 (or less) per line. I think somewhere along the lines a formatting issue had crept in to the files that i was trying to use, as the only way i could get this to work was to start again on a fresh textedit document and recreate the def file from scratch, but typed by hand (rather than copy/paste) and then formatted to plain text. was a bit of effort but at least its working now. thanks for everyones suggestions
