PSR-740 MIDNAM
(1/1)
johnwesleybarker:
I've searched a lot for a MIDNAM or MIDI Patch Name file in order to fully use my PSR-740 in various DAWs, e.g. Logic Pro X and Pro Tools. It's possible to use a GM (General MIDI) setting but that doesn't address the full range of sounds and styles available. There may be a midnam that someone has made, or you may have knowledge of editing an existing midnam file and adapting to be bespoke for a particular keyboard while referring to a manual. I understand the midnam file is made with XML syntax. So I'm willing to have a go if someone can give me a leg up to get going. Cheers.

If I understand you correctly,
I think you want the instrument definition file.
So from your DAW you can assign the patch number/name which resides in your PSR.
For example, I've downloaded (from this http://www.jososoft.dk/yamaha/ins_files.htm) "PSR640v200.ins" file.
Then I put this file in my Cakewalk folder.
Then in Cakewalk, I put the output midi device to USB-midi,
then I open the "Instrument" definition option,
then I import that PSR640v200.ins file.
The Yamaha PSR640 then will show in the list of the available instrument.
Then I assign all USB midi channels output to YAMAHA PSR640 :
.
Next in Cakewalk's track properties ---> Browse Patch :
I can choose any sound which resides in my PSR640.
.
This if I'm not mistaken to get what you mean.
Thank you.
