Hey sk880,

Nope, I use Calkwalk9.

Ya know, this question is ringing a bell with me. I thought I've read about this somewhere before...The 'generalmusic.ins' file that Calkwalk uses for the most part, is plain ol' text. If the Cubase files are text (or close to it), couldn't you cut&paste the info out of the 'gm.ins' file and into the Cubase?

I've got a CD here with Cubase Light on it and I'm tempted to load it on a different computer just to check out how Cubase does different instruments definitions.

I'll wait to hear from you first.
