SYX to INS Conversion Utility

SYX to INS Conversion Utility

Introduction

Converts (or rather, pulls instrument patch lists from) a custom MT-32 programmed SYX file to the Cakewalk/Sonar INS instrument list format. Since the MT-32 is a programmable synthesizer the patch lists are usually completely different based on what you're composing. Rather than compose in a sequencer by patch number only (0-127) or by typing out the instrument list by hand (takes a very long time!), now you can get the instrument list straight from any MT-32 SYX file and import it into Cakewalk/Sonar easily and painlessly! Includes source code.

NOTE: Cakewalk/Sonar's INS format is distinct from the INS format used with Adlib's INSMaker as that format is for handling Adlib patch information and Cakewalk/Sonar's is used for handling patch names only for use with iterations of its sequencer software.
