Modifying middev file - you done this for Triton?

[spartacus]

I posted this in the Mac forum, but maybe I'll have better luck here.

I am trying to set up the MIDI patch names for my Korg Triton (Note: NOT the Triton Studio) and have already placed the required "midnam" file in its proper location on my hard drive. However - I just found out that that the ol' Triton must ALSO be added to the "middev" file in order to work.

Yes, I understand that I can open the "middev" file with Apple's text editor and add the code myself. Only problem - I am not a programmer, and I figure that if someone else has already worked through this problem, maybe they would be a pal and e-mail me or post the lines of code on the DUC that I need to insert. Basically, I'm trying to take my tendency to foul up things like this out of the equation.

Anybody help a brother out?

P.S. I don't know who's to blame,Digidesign or Korg, but for Triton's flagship product to be left out of the pre-included list of synths that are already mapped out has me scratching my head...oh well!

Have your tried http://digicake.com/midnam/

Yes. That page gets you the midnam file, but doesn't help with the middev modification. Can anyone help?

Hi,

Sorry, misunderstood. So you are trying to add the Triton to the default middev file? If I am correct you should not have to modify the default file at all. Just add a new device, name it exactly the same name as your midnam file lists it as manufacturer and model. Set all your midi channels 1-16 to send and receive and set your device id number. At least that is what I have done with both my Roland XP80 and Roland XV2020. You can even find a graphic off the internet to use to add to the file that has all the default graphics in it.

I may be way off on this though....as I have no experience with the Triton....Good Luck !

Cool. I'll give it a try tonight and see if that does the job. Thanks!
