Re: [AN1x-list] Well i finally got my AN1x!!

Hi Gerry !
Happy New Year to you too !
About INS - I think you got corrupted - I can't check it 'cause I am not
having AN1x inst.def. file but they are usually larger ..
About having more than one ..
You load all instruments you have/need into the list first on the "Define
Instruments and names" window ...
And then in :
"Assign instruments" (in Cake 9 it's in Options/Instruments) you assign
different instrument definitions to different midi channels / ports ..
For example my "Roland UM-4 Port 1" 1-16 channels are assigned to EMU
Proteus Ins.Def. and "Roland UM-4 Port 2" 1-2 Channels are assigned to
AN-1x def. and so on ..
Ray.
