You will have to enter the Environment window, select new -> multi instrument. You should be able to get your sounds in the multi-instruments (by selecting different sound banks). OR you can search and download the environment from the Logic users site. You can also create your own environment - a little more troublesome and complicated but it is all in the thick manual.

Btw, where did you get your Logic 5? I've been trying to upgrade mine but it seems nobody sells them anymore - only for Mac.

OK. Easiest way out - download the environment patch from here:
http://www.swiftkick.com/

They have an environment patch for SC88 Pro.

Logic has a steep learning curve. But once you get the environment going, things are pretty smooth sailing.

You only have to import the environment you downloaded (under "Options -> Import Environment").

Look through the manual again - it is all very clearly stated in it.
