Find Soft Synths in Sonar X1

Hi, I'm loading up some of the demos that came with X1 and would like to open up the soft synths to see the settings in use. However I cannot find a "view" -> "soft synths" or view soft synth rack option. And double clicking the icon on the MIDI track doesn't open up the soft synth.

Help! How do I find the soft synths?

    The soft synths are now located in the Browser.  To add synths, click Plugins in the Browser, then click Instruments.  But you're asking to see the synths already in a project.  Click the synth icon in the Browser, and that's your synth rack.  When a synth is in a project, you go there to click it to see the instrument's GUI.

    Hi Ontime. 

    One of my favorite sample songs is the "European Space" one that came with Sonar 8.  Last week I was trying to reverse-engineer that one to see how things were constructed but all I got was a big headache!

    But now that I have been reading the PDF more and I've watched the Groove 3 video, maybe I should go back and see if I can make heads or tails of that project.
