Instrument-definition-file

From MusiCAD

The main goal of an instrument definition file is to describe how instrument names are to be matched with MIDI-program numbers. Other uses are the mapping of percussion sounds (midi-note-numbers) to percussion notation, and the contents of the MIDI-controls-menu

You may select an instrument definition file in the file options dialog.
