Change output sound but not name

Is there a way to change the output instrument of a part without changing the Player’s name? I’d rather hear a horn than the robotic choir provided for my choral track

Yes, you go to the Play mode, open the VSTInstrument’s UI window and in there you load a different sound patch.

Remember, you may need to change the associated expression map as well.

One could also choose to load (say) a horn sound right from the start, reposition it in the score, call the Player what one wished, and then have the layout use the Payer rather than instrument name if one felt more comfortable working with Setup and Layout options rather than the playback parameters.
