Dimension Pro Bass Instrument Transposition

Hello,
I am experiencing an issue when I use the electric & acoustic bass programs in DP.
The bass sounds an octave lower than what I intended.
This happens in Sonar X1 & Finale 2012.
To fix this, I obviously have to transpose the bass part up an octave.
I do not have to do this when I use other bass VSTs.
 
Is there a setting in DP that will transpose the part up an octave?
(Its time-consuming to keep transposing the bass part up & down when I am auditioning different bass VSTs & DP bass sounds.)

    there is a transpose sample up in the top function of DimPro. Sorry, I don't have a copy right here in front of me.  but it is up there with tune and other macro functions.

    It's not just DimPro. I ran into that same problem using hardware MIDI modules. I sequenced a bass track using one MIDI module, but when I play it back through another MIDI module the bass track is an octave higher. Not sure why that is.

    Not sure why that is.



    I think some vendors transpose basses up the keyboard so that the normal range of bass pitches will be available from a 61-key controller.
