I've created a soft-synth Track Template for Addictive Drums to use in conjunction with the step sequencer in Sonar X3 and modified the row (note) names in the SS to correspond with the kit piece each note plays (Kick, Snare, etc.) When I insert the track template into a new project, everything opens fine but the row names revert back to the the notes (Eb3, D3, etc). Is there a way to save the names I've assigned in the SS so that I don't have to rename them every time I insert the template into a new project?

Either use a drum map or
Save an empty step sequencer pattern with the names defined to use as a template with the Pattern menu in the Step Sequencer. After loading an instance of the step sequencer load the pattern template.

Perfect, thanks for the response!
