3. Choose the instrument definition to which the selected outputs and channels should be assigned
from the Uses Instrument list. A black line connects the two lists. If your MIDI module’s name
doesn’t appear in the list and you don’t want to use General MIDI bank and patch names for it, see
“Importing Instrument Definitions” on page 505.
4. To save these changes permanently, check the Save Changes for Next Session box.
5. Click OK to apply your changes.
From now on, the bank, patch, controller, and note names from the assigned instrument definition are
used throughout SONAR on any track that uses one of the output/channel combinations you selected in
the Output/Channel list.
To Clear Instrument Assignments
1. Choose Options-Instruments to display the Assign Instruments dialog box.
2. Select the MIDI outputs and channels whose assignments you want to remove from the Output/
Channel list.
3. Choose <default> from the Uses Instrument list. A black line connects the two lists.
4. Click OK when you are done.
You don’t really clear instrument assignments—you reassign them to use the default (General MIDI)
instrument definition. After you reassign the output/channel combinations, the default (GM) bank,
patch, controller, and note names are used throughout SONAR on any track that uses one of the output/
channel combinations you reassigned in the Output/Channel list.
Importing Instrument Definitions
When you install SONAR, a few common instrument definitions are already set up for you and ready to
use. SONAR also includes several hundred additional instrument definitions that you can import.
These instrument definitions are stored in text files in your SONAR folder, organized largely by
manufacturer. For example, all the instrument definitions for Roland gear are stored in the R
OLAND
.
INS
file; all the instrument definitions for Yamaha gear are stored in the Y
AMAHA
.
INS
file. The M
ISC

INS
file
contains miscellaneous instrument definitions.
If SONAR does not include an instrument definition for your MIDI instrument, you can find additional
and updated instrument definitions on the Downloads section of the Cakewalk website
(www.cakewalk.com). Simply download the files to your SONAR folder, unzip if necessary, and import
the instrument definitions as described below.
When you import an instrument definition, it is added to the master instrument definition file
