Spot00064.pngReplacing Instruments 

An individual instrument can be replaced by another type of instrument by choosing the new active symbol in the Resource Browser, and then selecting Replace with Active Symbol in the Object Info palette.

However, this process would be time-consuming for multiple instruments. By using the Replace Instrument command, all the instruments of a particular type can easily be replaced with another type of instrument. Alternatively, a selection of instruments can be replaced with another type of instrument.
