pyramid instrument def import #42

This is a pretty simple one :)

the squarp pyramid has a very simple instrument definition file format that could easily be converted into an EIF.

defintion details (very simple) here: https://squarp.net/pyramid/manual/definitionfiles

as I say its a trivial format, and has some limitations

BUT there are alot of them already coded... https://squarp.community/c/def/11

we could possibly 'scrap' these off the forum.

I see this as a quick way to build a reasonable size repo of EIF for the E1.

Honestly, Ive been thinking of writing this converter for a while... and no doubt will get around to it. but I thought I'd share the idea, in case someone wants to 'throw' it together quickly now.

(please post here, if you start working on it, just in case I decide to pick it up and run with it ;) )

note: I think there are other devices that have such mappings that might be worth investigating - but the pyramid is just one I know :)

while looking thru that, I saw this https://squarp.community/t/midi-cc-definition-repository/3450/2 ,but only 50 something devices, but better formatting! :-)
