But it's pretty straight forward. SD4 is plugged into USB port on computer. Win7 identifies it as Ketron SD4 and that is what I select in the MIDI output devices in the RealBand list...


...I'll try sending the GM reset that the other reply mentions, but I don't see any other way to select the Ketron than what I'm doing at present.



It's difficult in a forum to describe what you're hearing. I do know for a fact that you must do a GM On every time you first open RB in Win 7/64. I have a Roland Sonic Cell and like you, my SC shows up in the list as a midi device and it's highlighted. That's all you can do, there's no other options there. Since I have a Roland device I select the GS option but you would select the GM one. If you don't then you hear all kinds of weird stuff because you're not hearing the correct patches they could be anything, and if the midi file has controllers in it like pitch bends then applying a pitch bend to a patch it wasn't designed for can indeed sound very weird including detuned. If you have RB send the "GM On" message and still get weird sounds then I guess it's on to plan B.

Wait for Mac to see this thread, he's a Ketron dealer and knows all about updates and bugs. If he doesn't because I know he's a very busy guy, then try sending him a PM.
