Carycme Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I would like my sequencer to change the settings while playing. Is there a *.ins (Instrument Definition File) for the HD500X? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carycme Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 I'm really surprised no one has answered the call?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I know of no such file. If yoy have the edit program installed,you can look in your programs folder for the Line 6 folder. In there there will be an HD 500X folder. That contains all the files. No such file in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I don't even think you can do that. You can do things like change patches. You can turn fx on and off within a patch. You can even control the exp pedal and looper. But I don't think you can actually change your settings. Of course, if, by change the settings, you mean something different than what I mean when I think of change the settings - well, then, I would need to ask if you read the owner's manual because that information is in there.

BillBee Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Its only my 3rd cup of coffee right now but isn't the inst def file a midi reference file? In the way back machine of my dusty mind I want to say I used one for a brief adventure in keyboards/midi/pc connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carycme Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 With an IDF (Instrument definition file), I can have the sequencer change things for me automatically like distortion on/off, or even change the tone I'm using (i.e. from 12A to 10B). An IDF is just a text file telling the sequencer what the specific commands are, and how to send them. So in essence, I can have one set up for rhythm, and when it comes time, change to a lead without having to stomp a button. It is used for the sequencer, not to edit tones, and by change settings, I meant to switch from one to another. Just like having the sequencer play a midi note, it can also turn flanger - distortion - etc..on/off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Ooooh well then you probably already know about the midi reference in the manual which is as far as I go for midi controllers (usually older rack gear or the old beans - not for the HD Bean though). I've never used a sequencer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3d3 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 i would love to have this as well. It would be nice to be able to have Sonar change patches for me during live performance. The general midi file will change the patches as long as all your midi transmit and receive settings are correct but it would need to be edited to the actual patch names within the POD so your acoustic guitar patch won't be named pipe organ or something.

spaceatl Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 why not just add a midi track to your projects and record the changes on the POD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
