Yes that kind of helps.  I'm sorry  about being so vague earlier.  
I'm kinda of new to this so bare with me if you can.  What I'm trying 
to do is patch into my rom(s) if possible.  B4 I put in the new rom i 
was working strictly of off my user setting and all of its banks and 
the user settings when right out of the box is the same as the xl-7 
rom right.  So now I have a new rom with new sounds but when I go to 
Sonar I can only control my user setting and not my new set of 
sounds.  I want Sonar to switch from my xl-7 rom to the pure phatt 
rom  through at will.  Strictly using my command station as a slave 
unit.  I hope this explains my situation a little better.  Help me 
please!!!!!!!
