[Solved] Sonar X3b: MIDI bank select working for anyone?

I've tried and tried to get MIDI back changes/select working in X3 and can't. Was previously working fine for years.
All I get when I click the BANK button next to the track is "none".
Anyone else?
 
 
Problem 2: instrument definitions are also not working at all.

Make sure you have the master.ini in the right place. Try Users/your name/AppData/Roaming/Cakewalk/ SonarX3 producer/ Master.ini.

Right. 

+1 to the instrument definitions

i am having the same problem running x3d
i cannot get Bank Select (via the drop-downs) to work for my casio wk-7500
only the gm bank is showing
 
solutions\suggestions welcome
 
thanks

It turns out if you don't have your MASTER.ins setup correctly and imported right, Bank Select is impossible.
In other words, if there are no banks to switch from/to, there is no usage of the bank button.
 
Check there first.

thanks for your response unfortunately i am a novice at this and have a file  which is supposed to be correct????
 
can you point me to an example of a file, part of one, or set of instructions that is correct
 
thanks

spoke to cakewalk and for me this was the solution
 

 
 this presumes you have selected your instrument in preferences > mid > instruments and assigned it to all 16 channels if not then select the specific midi channel for the instrument that has multiple banks
