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 Misc.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 World Wide Web site (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 M
ASTER.INS. The contents of this file determines the list of
instruments that appear in the Assign Instruments dialog box.
