Re: How do I Rename patches?

Thank you. It wasn't the master.ins, but another .ins file in the same directory. But now I've created a real mess of things. Just as a test I opened what appeared to be the correct .ins file in a text editor and changed the name of a single instrument. The name change didn't reflect in Sonar, so I made the horrible mistake of reloading the instrument definition, and now I'm getting a completely different listing of instrument names. The tracks that had already been assigned to patches still play correctly, but in the patch browser, all the names are wrong. What have I done!!?? I only changed a single character in a single line of the .ins file, nothing else is different. I don't understand that whole instrument definition dialog at all. I did a text search on strings in the file to see if there was some other ins file I should be using, but that turned up nothing.
At some point about a year ago I managed to track down on the web a file which had renamed all the patches to a different synth to more useful names and that was awesome, but doing a text search for that file turns up nothing, and I can't find it on the web anymore, so I don't know what happened to it. But it's lost now. I'm so mad I tried this. Can someone help?
