This means you are using a wrong instrument definition file, in order 
to access XL7 & PURE PHATT sounds in SONAR you need to use their 
relevant Cakewalk intrument definition files and affect them to the 
desired midi track !!

Now what you should do is :

-1 : go to the files section of this Group and search for the   
Cakewalk .ins File named P2k_all, download it...

-2 : Launch SONAR and select the first MIDI track where you want your 
sounds listed > right Click on it > Choose TRACK PROPERTIES in the 
Pop up menu, you should get the Track properties Window > Click on 
INSTRUMENTS you will see the Assign Instruments Window > Click on 
DEFINE then Click on IMPORT , select your P2K_all instrument 
definition....then select XL7 and Pure Phatt...

-3 : Now back to the ASSIGN INSTRUMENTS WINDOW where you click on 
MIDI track 1 (left side) then either XL7 or Pure Phatt (Right side) 
up to you , doing this you affect a midi track with the desired 
instrument definition (say for example XL7, so now you will have 
access to XL7 banks on MIDI track 1)..........
Repeat step 3 for all other MIDI tracks

-4 : Back to the arrange Window choose channel, bank & patch for 
every midi channel and TADAAA !! look at your XX7 LCD it should move 
accordingly (I hope for you !)If it doesn't.....Buy yourself a 
Xylophone because the Gods are against you (at least the ones that 
deal with computers!)

May fortune be with you !
