How to Create Instrument Definition Files

OK, I'm a Sonar X3 user with an Alesis Fusion 8HD keyboard, and tons of sounds. I'm not seeing anywhere in T6 where I can create what Sonar calls an INS file for my Instrument Definition that lists all of my sounds. Is there such an animal with T6. If not then I need to move on. I'd really like to get to know this s'ware, and I realize there might be a little learning curve, but I can't simply kick that feature to the curbside. Hope you understand.

Never worked with Sonar so I am not familiar with INS files or what you need them for.
There is however in the midi settings page an option (bottom right when you select a midi output) to create sets of program names: 'Add', then in the 'combobox' you can choose a device (from Access Virus A to Yamaha W7 but no Alesis Fusion). When choosing 'edit' you can also import banks.

Not really my area, but reacontrolmidi available free 
from cockos seems to be able to load ins files. Presumably this plugin (32 or 64 bit) could be saved as a preset within Tracktion.

Try this - On the Settings Tab:
> MIDI Devices > Select the MIDI Output of your soundcard / Keyboard.
> Click 'Add' (green button) on the MIDI Output properties panel to create a new program name set.
> Click 'OK'.
> Now you can edit the set by clicking on the green 'Edit' button.
Or you can create a custom name set and import it. The file type is .trkmidi . It is in .xml file format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ProgramSet name="Instrument">
<bank name="bank" high="0" low="0">
<program name="program" number="0"/>
<program name="program" number="1"/>
.
<program name="program" number="126"/>
<program name="program" number="127"/>
</bank>
</ProgramSet>
Cheers
