Syncing External and Internal Soundmodules

I have a Roland FP-4 Piano. It's sound module gives me a great sax sound. I write in a Big Band style and when I arrange trumpets and trombones for four or five voices the internal Edirol VSC gives a pretty nice sound. My thought was to record the analog output of the Roland on to an audio track. When I do this the audio is out of sync with the MIDI tracks. I otherwise have no Sync problems when recording audio with MIDI. For some reason the Trumpet/Trombones do not sound as good with the Roland sound and in a perfect world I would be able to use the Edirol for horns and the Roland for Sax. Latency is set to the minimum. I operate in WDMS mode. I don't expect a happy ending to the story but I thought I would put it out here before giving up.

    What is the latency?
    If the audio tracks are out of sync the same amount throughout the song (they don't get progressively more out of sync), you can drag those tracks to the correct place.
    If they get more out of sync as the song plays, that could be a sampling rate and/or bit rate mis-match. In the past, almost all SBs defaulted to 48,000 Hz sampling rate at either 16- or 24-bit. Sonar defaults to 41,100 @ 16-bit. They should be the same.
    Does the Audigy have ASIO drivers available from Creative?
