Does anybody have an existing NRPN definition file for Sonar?

I dont know what NRPN means, I think I know what a definition file is.

In sonar 3 (perhaps all of em), click on a midi track for track properties. Click on "instruments", then "define", then "import". In the Cakewalk thingee it will be under something like sample content or similiar, I dont remember. Click on Alesis and you should find nanosynth listed.

NRPN is Non Registered Program Number.

An NRPN is a series of hex numbers used to stack MIDI control commands to make devices respond to commands not defined by RPN (registered program number).

For example, I cannot get Sonar 4.0.3 to access the alternate banks of my Alesis NanoSynth. Changing patches to other Bank 0 does not make a change in the synth. I know the synth works properly, because I can change banks through all 640 patch combinations from my Hammond XR2 console.

I want to try NRPN with Sonar, to see if that will let it control the banks other than Bank 0 in my synth.
