you'll need to provide an existing instrument definition file (*.ins) to VIew > Instruments... > Import... for sure; in alternative, you may supply a .midnam or even a .sf2 file to get the proper instrument preset, patch, controller and key names, etc. where applicable.
the most recent versions (qtractor >= 0.9.90) come bundled with this general standard (GM/GS/XG) instruments definition file Standard1.ins installed under <prefix>/share/qtractor/instruments/ directory.
hth.
cheers
ps. note that this only deals with instrument names for presets, programs, controllers, drum-note/keys, etc.... it won't provide any operational/sounding instruments whatsoever--for that, you must provide a proper MIDI driven instrument plugin or external application or even vintage outboard hardware :)
