Missing Synth that's not actually missing.
This has come up in a few threads somewhat obliquely, but here's a concrete example of this problem:
So I've got a track with two instances of Rapture on it (among other things). I've got Rapture installed. Works fine when loaded up on it's own. But the synth rack is just not allowing Rapture to be turned on. Problem: I can't do a "replace synth" command without losing the preset info. So, how do I get Rapture loaded and the preset info restored without losing whatever patch was on those tracks?
Now, if SONAR had some utility to read that preset info, I could save the track. Without it, I'm hosed. THIS is why we need that patch utility. SONAR has the info, I just can't get to it.
Not to mention the obvious question, why doesn't this project see that Rapture=Rapture?
