instrument definitions Instrument definition - Hotone Ampero II Stage multi-effects unit

[Anthony Bennett]

While I've muddled along with synth instrument definitions files on and off over the years, I've recently had a need to start controlling my guitarist's Hotone Ampero II Stage effects unit (https://www.hotone.com/products/multi-effects/Ampero II Stage).

I know this is a Hail Mary to save me some time, but has anyone already created a Instrument Definition file for this device. If not, I'll happily go with anything similar as it will still save me time modifying another instrument multi-effects unit INS file.

Hotone actually produce a pretty good MIDI implementation document for the device (https://hotoneaudio.oss-accelerate.aliyuncs.com/prod/support/Ampero II Stage_MIDI Control Information List_EN_Firmware V1.0.2.1703146582227.pdf) so that will help me somewhat.

So given the lack of traffic in this forum, I figured there was no point waiting, plus a major storm knocked out my internet for almost 4 days (aside from hot-spotting to my phone which only gets 1-2 bars of signal at best at my house) so I leapt in and built one.

Here's where I've got to. I haven't actually tested this yet as I need to get my guitarist's device to perform functional testing, but in theory it looks correct (famous last words). I'll come back and update it if and when testing uncovers any issues.

The other guitarist in my band has a Line 6 Helix LT so I'm sure it won't be long before I'm being asked to automate patch changes for that as well and I'll be back creating another instrument definition!
