How to get midi track(s) to trigger Virtual Instrument track(s)

Don't use instrument tracks simply use a MIDI track or tracks to trigger a synth you have put in the synth rack. You do this from the Browser with the tab synths. Once a synth is loaded simply out the output of the MIDI track to that synth via the output at the bottom of the track inspector. 
 
Nothing could be simpler. With an instrument track MIDI and audio are combined. 

Thanks, though when I select an instrument from Cakewalk TTS synth, for example I have the bass midi output to channel 2 in TTS synth and it is by default set to "Fingered Bs." If I click on that TTS synth track 2 and right click and select and change it to "Preset/Bass/Attack Bass", its selected however when I then click PLAY it reverts back to "Fingered Bs." option...
 
What the! What gives here?
 
Why does it revert back to "Fingered Bs."?
 
Do I need to set something in the Options in TTS so it is set permanently for this project?
 
Kind regards
Jim

Until you look at a MIDI event list, you may never realize how many different MIDI events there are besides note on and note off messages.
 
There are other possible issues that may lead to rhe first pist in this thread, but I think now you are up against Patch Change or Control messages that don't show in the Track View or the Piano Roll.

this will show you the 3 primary ways midi is used in sonar

All you have to do is delete those patch changes with the delete key.

I get it now!  Not so sure if this is a bug or if this is by design - I'd appreciate if someone can confirm...  If this is by design then I think this is a huge limitation and poor a design
 
If a midi track has some patch configured (you'll see it in the "event list" view if one exist in your midi track - for an example refer to my previous post above) you can delete these 2 lines simply by clicking in the midi record entry and hit the "DELETE" key for each of these record entries in the list. 
 
Now that these patch changes are removed from the midi track, you would think from the midi softsynth plugin you should/could/can be used to assign a patch from its program bank... WRONG,... because once you stop and then hit play again it reverts back to patch 0 of the selected program bank.
 
Here is where I think this is a bug, I would think naturally what ever you choose from the softsyth's plugin it should take effect, but it doesn't!!  I would have thought if I chose a patch from the programs plugin softsynth an entry in the "event list" of a patch change should be inserted as a record in the current position in the "event list", but it doesn't - so this is where this seems to pose a problem - is this by design or is it a bug??).
 
What I've since discovered though, you can only configure, for the midi track in focus a patch from the console view "bank, patch" pulldown options. Note a patch change in the midi "event list" is again NOT inserted, this selection of the bank, patch will affect the whole track which sounds logical from the console view perspective.
