Hi yjoh,

Yes, it's a hardware synth. I haven't tried to program the SD2, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the help.

One thing I just noticed about this song: it has a melody harmony -- 32 Joe Pass -- activated. I don't normally use this feature, so I hadn't paid attention to it, but, if I turn it off, the jazz guitar override is also removed, and I can change the melody instrument to whatever I want.

Yjoh: That's one way for sure. The other is to go into Song Settings under overrides and turn off the patch changes there. This affects just the song, not BIAB as a whole.

By jove, I think you've got it!

Title: IPANEMA (THE GIRL FROM)
File:The Girl From Ipanema2.MGU
Key=F , Tempo 160, Length (m:s)=3:12
4 bar intro, 40 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 44. Repeat x3 choruses
Melody has 390 notes, Melody harmony is Joe Pass(32)
No Soloist track.
Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0,
Style is _BOSSAG.STY (Bossa with Guitar (140 RS))
Style MIDI Instruments are :
RealTracks in style: ~464:Bass, Acoustic, Bossa Ev 140
RealTracks in style: ~467:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Bossa Ev 140
RealDrums in style: BossaTerryClarke^2-a:Brushes , b:Blastix

All the other workarounds described were just strange to me. But this one makes sense since I had not seen this problem before and I don't use the Harmony feature.

Nice problem-solving here guys. What a team.

Last post for the night,

I experimented and this works but it may not be want you want.

In the preferences options,under Environment Options at the left, when I unclicked the "ok to save/load reverb,vol etc w/songs"
box then loaded in Ipanema, I could change the melody patches at will and they stayed on what I wanted when I hit play. YES!

Hope that helps. I'm off for the night. Will see what others come up with tomorrow.

Good luck.

Just seen the last posts. So glad it's been solved, good pickup on the melody harmony. I can sleep now!

The Ketron SD2 automatically resets itself read to receive and play GM and Upper Banks every time its Power switch is cycled.


That should be all that is needed as far as the SD2 is concerned.

Yes, the Guitar Harmony feature, in this case apparently one of the Joe Pass jazz guitar harmonies, is handled a bit differently than what happens when one loads a single Instrument Patch in BiaB. Sounds like the OP has got it sorted now.
