I just received a Ketron SD2 but am clueless on how to use it with band in a box or real band. Can anyone point me toward a tuturial or explain how to set it up to play with BIAB or Realband. Also how are the additional voice banks accessed once the external devie is set up. Thanks

1) Connect MIDI Out of SD2 to MIDI Input of computer. This will likely require use of a USB-to-MIDI adaptor cable, which you can purchase separately, or if using an aftermarket sound device, it may have the connect already on it.
2) Using an appropriate shielded stereo audio cable, connect L & R Audio output RCA jacks of SD2 to the L & R Line Inputs of your computer's sound device. Many laptops do not have a built in Line Input, you may have to get an aftermarket sound device for the laptop and install it to have these.
3) Accessing the Upper Banks is easy enough, first, go to the PGMusic Support page, there's a hotlink to it at the bottom of any of my posts on these forums, locate the PATCH MAP for the SD2 and download that file, drop it into the main bb folder. Follow the directions given there to learn how to use the Patch Map to access the higher bank voices.

Thanks for the advice Mac. I am currently running the Ketron into my Presonus 22VSL interface which is connected to the USB port on my computer. I can get the standard MIDI to play with the Coyote Wavetable through the interface. Is the Ketron simply plug and play or do I need to set up within Real Band ande BIAB. This is my first experience using MIDI I find the directions to be quite confusing so thank you for taking the time to help a beginner like me.

If you have BB ser tu the "use DXi" checkbox in the MIDI/Audi setup window, you will not be hearing the SD2, you will be hearing whatever software synth selected in the DXi window, in this case presumably that would be the Coyote Wavetable.
The RH pane in the MIDI/Audio window, locate the MIDI output to your sound device and select it by highlighting. Then hit Okay. That should now route the MIDI data to your SD2.

I have followed the instructions so far and have gotten the blue light on the Ketron to flash so this means the Ketron is receiving the MIDI messages however I have no sound coming out of the monitors. Is there a setting I should be concerned with on the Presonus interface or should I use a MIDI to USB cable. Thanks

**Try p;lugging any set of headphones that will fit the jack on the SD2, which will allow you to hear what the SD2 is doing while a MIDI based song plays back. Compare that to what you hear (or what you don't hear...) from the monitors.
If y0ou have properly connected the two Audio Outputs of the SD2 to two Line Inputs, L&R of your Presonus, but still have no audio from the SD2, it is likely that you need to visit the Control Panel or Mixer for the SD2 and set it to the Line Input. Consult the Presonus manual for exactly how that is done.
