be available". Have reinstalled - same prob. Anyone with a sug on how to

The Master.ins file is the instrument definitions for hardware synths. You
probably don't need it if you're only using softsynths, and it's not even
strictly required for hardware synths, though it can help make managing
patches much more user friendly if you have mappings for your stuff.

One thought if you can't find it in the installation directories would be to
just try creating a blank file with that name (in your SONAR software
directory) to see if that will at least avoid the error message. No clue on
why it's gone missing, though. I also wonder if in SONAR 6.2 and 7 it may
have been moved out of the SONAR directory to the user-specific folders as
part of the Vista-oriented conventions?
