Make General MIDI Patch Map…

This opens the GS Patch Numbers dialog, where you can make a customized

General MIDI patch map for your non-GM instrument.

Type in the patch number that your synth uses for each instrument listed. For

example, suppose that your sound source has Acoustic Piano at patch location

41. In the General MIDI Patch Edit dialog, select the box to the left of Acoustic

Piano and type 41. Do the same for all of the instruments in the General MIDI

patch list. If your synth doesn't have an exact match, use a close sounding patch

that it does have.

Once you have made a patch map in this way, whenever Band-in-a-Box

encounters Acoustic Piano (which is General MIDI instrument #1), it will look

up this Patch Map Location and then send out Patch 41 to your synth/sound

module.

Furthermore, you will never have to refer to instruments in Band-in-a-Box by

your synth's number. Instead, you'll use the General MIDI instrument

numbering (e.g., Acoustic Piano = 1). So if you are Saving a Song with Patches

or Assigning favorite instruments or combos you will still type #1 to tell Band-

in-a-Box that the patch is Acoustic Piano.

Set Favorite Patches/Combos…

For each of the 8 parts (Bass, Piano, Drums, Guitar, Strings, Melody, Soloist,

and Thru) you can assign up to 10 “favorite” instruments. Once assigned, these

instruments can be quickly and easily set.

Use General MIDI instrument numbers. If you use a custom patch map it will

handle the conversion to your synth’s non-GM patch numbers, always enter GM

patch numbers for the favorite instruments.

A Favorite Combo is a group of patch changes (1 for each part) that are sent out

as a “batch” when you send one of the combos.
