FLASH:  While writing this, I think I figured out your problem!!!!
        Read all the way through, Dave Dude!!!!!

Sorry I wasn't able to help you on this one Dave Dude. Maybe someone 
with Sonar can help.

From the file, here's what the ZR definitions look like:

; ------- E-MU P2k: Sounds of the ZR ROM --------

[E-MU P2k: Sounds of the ZR: Bank 0 (1024)]
0=kb1:PerfectPno 1
1=kb1:PerfectPno 2
 . . .

[E-MU P2k: Sounds of the ZR: Bank 1 (1025)]
0=kb1:Piano 1-GM
1=kb1:Piano 2-GM
 . . .

[E-MU P2k: Sounds of the ZR: Bank 2 (1026)]
0=syn:Bella
1=syn:CascadeBell
 . . .

[E-MU P2k: Sounds of the ZR: Bank 3 (1027)]
0=kit:Live-GM
1=kit:Standard
 . . .


Patch[1024]=E-MU P2k: Sounds of the ZR: Bank 0 (1024)
Patch[1025]=E-MU P2k: Sounds of the ZR: Bank 1 (1025)
Patch[1026]=E-MU P2k: Sounds of the ZR: Bank 2 (1026)
Patch[1027]=E-MU P2k: Sounds of the ZR: Bank 3 (1027)

WAIT A SEC DAVE DUDE!!!!!!!

I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!!

The author has the bank setup in the Everything instrument 
definition, but there is no separate ZR bank setup definition!!

So, you have a couple of options:

(1)  Use the Everything definition and edit out all the stuff you 
don't want (or just leave it in there and don't use the banks for 
which you don't have ROMS).

(2)  Using the Sonar user interface, define your own ZR definition 
based on Everything banks 1024 -> 1027.

(3)  Cut and Paste the patch definitions and edit a set of bank 
definitions to create your own *.ins file.  Such as:

[E-MU Sounds of the ZR]
Control=My E-Mu
Patch[0]=My E-Mu: User 0 (0)
Patch[1]=My E-Mu: User 1 (1)
Patch[2]=My E-Mu: User 2 (2)
Patch[3]=My E-Mu: User 3 (3)
Patch[1024]=My E-Mu: Sounds of the ZR: Bank 0 (1024)
Patch[1025]=My E-Mu: Sounds of the ZR: Bank 1 (1025)
Patch[1026]=My E-Mu: Sounds of the ZR: Bank 2 (1026)
Patch[1027]=My E-Mu: Sounds of the ZR: Bank 3 (1027)

Suggestion:  Don't double click on the *.ins file to edit it.  Run 
notepad or wordpad and open the file up from inside.

Hope this helps.
