Yamaha MODX Ins. Definitions

[Mr. Me]

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I would like to know/confirm if there's any ins. definition for the Yamaha MODX or we are confined to use it as a VST3? This is a great keyboard but little confusing. Thanks for your inputs.

The best ways I have found for finding *.ins files are to search on line and to ask user groups for specific gear. Usually, though, I would have to find something close and edit it with a basic editor like Notepad.  

I see that the artist known as deepsonic has the reference manual on line.  A few decades ago deepsonic was kind enough to share with me some personal presets for the Casio VZ.  Not sure that deepsonic uses CbB, but sending an e-mail couldn't hurt.

  By the way, what is the correlation between not having an *.ins file and being confined to using a VST3?

Thanks for the reply, i would like to have the opportunity to use it as a MIDI device not a VST.

Thanks for the clarification.  There's an *.ins file posted here: https://yamahamusicians.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13827 .  I have crossed paths online with the writer of that file many times.  I would encourage you to reach out to him if you have questions about the *.ins file. 

The file seems to contain  MODX ROM Performance Names.  Not being familiar with the MODX, I have no idea if that's everything or just what Royce needed for his purposes.  In any case, I hope this helps.

Awesome, thanks a lot.

I recommend the MODX editor "Modx Tools" from John. There you can export your MODX Library as Instrument definitions.
(Hope I got the topic right ;-) )
