Inserting a Soft Synth in Sonar X1 LE

Hi All,
I am trying to insert a Soft Synth in Sonar X1 LE to enable me to play/record using a Midi controller. The massage I get says that the Soft Synth is not installed properly. Can anyone advice me about how I can install this please.
Thanks

hi Mike V,
There doesn't seem to be any Soft Synths installed at all. Would Soft Synths  normally be installed when I installed Sonar X1 LE initially?
Thanks
 

Thanks Cactus Music,
I got the X1 with a Roland product I bought so it didn't cost much, but must admit that I'm not impressed. I followed all the instructions to insert a soft synth only to discover that it may not be installed properly. Think I may take your advice and look at Home Studio

Ya , I was going to say there's lots of free VST's too, but the fact still remains that X1 LE is really a bad version and not even close to Home Studio. I think I un installed it last year. I only installed it out of curiosity as I was happy using 8.5 and had been paying attention on the forum here where there was nothing but issues with the X1 version. But the best thing about X1 LE was I registered it and Cake offered me X3 studio for $99! That started me on the el cheapo upgrade path that got me where I am now for probably half price.  Not bad for a $130 keyboard that gave me a $100 discount on X3. 
 
PS- Hey John,, I'm downloading the EP from Noise Ash, You can never have enough EP's! :)   Mr Tramp was my favourite freebie but it's 32 bit so I try not to use it now. 

Thanks again everyone.
 
Because the Sonar X1 LE is telling me that the soft synths may not be properly installed, I uninstalled the programme,  then re-installed it again, but the soft synths are still not there. Does anyone know if I can install 'soft synths' that will allow me to play a Korg Taktile midi controller keyboard?
 
Meantime, I have bought the wee Korg keyboard, and so far unable to get a single note out it...frustration!
 
 

Thanks Abacab,
I will watch your video, and give some feedback.

SO I'm just installing it now to a Acer Netbook I use for lyrics. Its XP 32 bit. 
First thing I noticed is the install did not give me the option for 32 or 64 bit which is normally the first thing you see.

A Cakewalk installer will not provide the 32/64bit install option when running the installer on a 32bit OS. Why provide an option to install something that could not run on the OS?

Watched the video sent by Abacab, it is very informative. It appears that my soft synths are not installed properly. I only have the standard effects plugin's Compressor, Modulation ETC
I have tried to re-install a few times using the Sonar disc but they still fail to install.
 
The video suggests that Sonar LE scans for soft synths on opening the programme, yet it shows no error when I open.
 
My fear of downloading third party software is 'PC infection'. Can anyone suggest a good safe site please

I'll vouch for anything Abacab recommends, I've got many of the ones he's posted and there is absolutely no danger. In some cases you purchase them for free and go though a checkout. 
I would think all the ones posted on KVR site are tested by the members. 
Be warned some freebies are demos which I avoid as they can make beeping sounds or just stop working. 
But with the sad collection you get with LE the freebies are the answer. 
And I would find it hard to believe that TTS-1 was not included and that should work without issue as it's not a VST but a DX(?) plug in. Sorry I don't remember and I cannot test this. 
 
A lot of VST's are very simple little dll files which you drag and drop to the VST or Shared VST folder. 
Sonar does scan for vst's on start up by default. You can shut this off in preferences. 
You can also open the TOOLS/PLUG IN MANAGER and see what was scanned. You can use the plug in manager to manually scan and select folders that might have been missed, like in my case the Steinberg VST folder. 
 
You can also see what was installed by looking here- in your case this will be the Program Files(x82) folder 

 
Did you try the custom install and check to see if the 3 VST I posted above boxes are checked? 
Which version of windows are you using? 

Ya I know they wanted a lot but I see the point, they are giving you a freebie but make you jump though hoops or lets say, work for your cookie. I clicked the FB like and it took me to Add to cart. You then have to give your email and full name and address. Oh well. I'm sure I could have made up a name and address but you need the email to receive the download link. 
 Like many, I downloaded it but haven't had time to try it. 
The demo sounded promising. I've been using SI piano and Lounge Lizard so I'll see how it compares to those.
