Woo-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Boss DR-880 Instrument Definition Files for Sonar

If I remember correctly, I think I had a really hard time finding the Sonar instrument definition files for the Boss Dr-880 drum machine just as I had great difficulty finding the instrument definition files for the Korg X-50, so I’m including them here. Just copy and paste into Notepad or similar program. Make sure that you rename the file with a file extension of .ins so that Sonar will be able to find it.

Korg X-50 Instrument Definition Files for Sonar

When I first bought my Korg X-50 I was very disappointed to find out that there were no instrument definition files available to use within my Cakewalk Sonar recording software. I searched all over the Internet and could find nothing. Finally, a most excellent member of the Cakewalk Sonar Forum put an instrument definition file together and emailed it to me! Thanks so much!!!

So that you don’t have to go through the same heart-breaking experience that I did, I have included a link for downloading that very file below. Just copy and paste into Notepad or similar program and make sure you name it with a .ins extension and then tell Sonar to look for and install the file. Enjoy!

Till Dawn

G Em
golden eyes on a sunset lawn,
C D
make me feel so glad to be born,
G Em
broken pages on the edge of night,
C D
make me want to squeeze you tight
G Em C D
till dawn, till dawn, till dawn, till dawn

G Em
heat will fly on a sky of gold,
C D
rivers flow like diamonds, oh
G Em
fleeting angel girl I need you now
C D
locked around me like a burning house

G Em C D
till dawn, till dawn, till dawn, till dawn
