Re: Using the Definitions file concept.

heh just made instruments and presets in Notepad
worked very nicely.
however on import, it doubled up the existing instrument and samples.
so it's 'Append' rather than 'Overwrite'. my bad. (would a Replace option be a good idea?)
ok so you Add Folder, and do whatever i did to have them all full k/b range splits in a single instrument eg: 'ALL'
and then export definition file.
open the *.csv in Notepad,
and copy the instrument header, under the main
"Instruments,Name,Generators" category
eg:
,myInst_ALL
,,Sample name,Global,
and paste/create: - as many instruments as you need.
,myInst_1
,,Sample name,Global,mySample1
,myInst_2
,,Sample name,Global,mySample2
,myInst_3
,,Sample name,Global,mySample3 ... etc.
etc.
and then do the same thing with the Presets, where you increment the preset number 0,0 ; 0,1 ; 0,3 ; etc.
and it looks like:
Presets,Name,Generators,Bank,Preset
,myPreset_ALL,,0,0
,,Instrument name,Global,myInst_ALL
,myPreset1,,0,1
,,Instrument name,Global,myInst_1
,myPreset2,,0,2
,,Instrument name,Global,myInst_2
,myPreset3,,0,3
,,Instrument name,Global,myInst_3
