Hmmm.  Well a couple of things come to mind.  First, check out AudioMaster by
Aegis.  Really cool program.  It lets you save 5-octave and 3-octave instru-
ment files.  Concerning your problem though, is your Sonix disk in a drive
while you are attempting to load the IFF instruments.  The reason I ask is 
because Sonix needs to load in stuff off of the program disk once and a while.
If it can't find what it wants, it says "can't load instrument from disk."
If you only have one drive, try loading the "pre-load score" and then try
loading the IFF instruments.

BTW, Sonix stores its instruments in RFF (Riley File Format) which is not
compatible with anything else that I know of, but Sonix WILL load IFF...
