.ins files written by Bank Editor are not recognized by Reality Adlib Tracker 2.0. Are there different .ins standards?
`.ins` are saved by OPL3-BE are AdLib instruments in original format. I had no experience with Reality Adlib Tracker except the case I have made the importer which can extract instruments from RAD songs. Has RAD own .ins format, or it is intended to deal with standard AdLib instruments I have referred? If RAD does use of own `.ins` format, I must to implement the support for them to save proper .ins file that RAD will eat.

So, this looks pretty similar to SBI files, sans the header and with somewhat different register order. Sometimes this 12-byte sequence is followed by a string with instrument name. It doesn't break the HSC compatibility as HSC reads first 12 bytes and populates OPL2 registers, effectively ignoring the rest of the file.
When RAD tracker saves an instrument, it is claimed that the resulting file is HSC compatible, but it's nowhere like it. Here's the format description:

Thus, this is completely another INS file, understandable only by RAD Tracker 2.0. It's not compatible with HSC, since HSC uses first 12 bytes to populate OPL2 registers, and in this case it would read the 'RAD INST V10' which is a signature. However, this is of low concern as RAD Tracker reads 12-byte HSC INS files as well as its own INS format. If OPL3-BE could save HSC instruments, it would already allow to import them to RAD.
Olá esse programa já suporta arquivo ins do teclado ketron audya
Olá!
Se você encontrar uma especificação para esse formato, adicionarei suporte para ela.
Também preciso de alguns arquivos de amostra para depurar o trabalho e verificar se está correto.
