When you created the instrument definition, are you sure that you assigned that definition to the correct MIDI out ports and that you assigned the definition to all sixteen channels wtihin that correct port?

I'm trying to get the midi controler to trigger a roland xv5080 module. I installed the ins def files for the module in sonar, but cant seem to pull them up. If i'm on a midi track, i go to the output, and switch it to midisport A, where the roland is plugged into, but the ins def banks and patches still dont come up. Also, when I open sonar up, i have midi tracks and audio tracks there, i only want 16 midi tracks for now. how do i get rid of the audio tracks? Thanks. Omar Binno
