Trying to find FA06 ins file - I used to have one, but I only have the cubase version anymore.

I am trying to find FA06 ins file - I used to have one, but I only have the cubase version(txt) - anymore.

I tried renaming the cubase one (.txt) to (.ins) and it said it did not contain any instrument definitions. Does anyone have it, because I need it. 

I also tried to use GPT and googled for 1hr on how to make one from the cubase list - GPT kept generating bad definitions.

You used to be able to download it from roland clan(fan site) -- but I can't find one anymore, and it will be far too much work to manually make one by hand - like we used to do in the old days. Also cakewalk used to have fa06 definition files built it - I also can't find this anymore.

Thanks,
A Political Boy

Assuming you are talking about a Roland product in their FA line, I looked in my Roland.ins files and didn't see any *.ins files for any in the FA series. Not sure if it was ever "built in." Evidently it wasn't supplied in any of the Cakewalk Instrument Definition Files I downloaded.  Maybe another user has one.

Thank you, someone on Roland Clan had it. I had it downloaded and lost it. They said I could rename the ins file to .txt and it would work with cubase and it did, but for some reason, naming it back to ins does not work, so I have no idea why he had it saved as INS if it was not even formatted correctly? He also said - that Cakewalk did come with integra7 definitions, but iirc, he also said the roland FA-06 ins definitions were available. I've scoured rolandclan and I cannot find it for the life of me. I also forgot my account password and they will not send me a password reset email, nor will they let me create a new account - the creation process happens, but I never get a verify your email - email in my gmail inbox.

I am not familiar with the newer products; My most recent Rolands are from the 1990s. Maybe you know: Is the FA-06 in any way related to the Fantom line?  I ask because I do have two files for the Roland Fantom XR: Roland Fantom XR.ins and a separate one called Roland Fantom XR Drum Kits.ins. Not sure where I got them from.

Below are the initial file comments for the first file.

I think there still is a Roland FA-06 instrument file on the Roland Clan forum. Have a look at this post from 2015. At the very bottom of that post there is a link to a .rar file which is said to contain the final version of the FA-06 .ins files. Good luck.

Hey there, I'm a little late but I just updated my Roland FA Cakewalk INS file, did a little search to see if anyone else had already made one in the past and stumbled upon this post.  You can download my own version over there on GitHub.  Hope it helps someone in the future!
