If you have it set up correctly, and it sounds like you do, any MIDI tracks are now being sent to the FP7 as MIDI data on the MIDI input. Thus the GM2 synth inside the FP7 are the sounds for any MIDI tracks you hear, including the Thru.

Check the PGMusic Patchmap page to see if there is a patchmap published there for the FP7. If there is, download the Patchmap and simply drop it into your BB folder. Then use the Patchmap selection tool found in the MIDI/Audio selection window to locate and pick that patchmap to use with your BB.

Then, you will be able to use the little MIDI dropdown slot in the main window to pick from the 128 Standard GM voices, or hit the + sign to the right to bring up ALL the voice choices in your fine FP7.

If there is no patchmap published on the PGMusic resource page, we have a second option, development created a wizard that instantly will convert the patchmap .INS type files that Cakewalk and Sonar use. That allows us to go out on the web using websearch engines and search for an FP7 patchmap .INS cakewalk file, download it and then convert it instantly to work with Band in a Box with one mouse button push. This takes advantage of the much larger Cakewalk/Sonar user base.
