Hi Mac,
Pl rem to read my PM.

Next steps...
When I click on the instrument dropdown menu, I see all the instruments I guess GM.
When I click on the GM2 button, I see GM and GM2 instruments and I can select any.
When I click on the + button, it asks me for a .PAT file which I don't yet have. Based on your text in " " below, I downloaded a .INS file into the bb folder. Is this the file that needs to be converted to a .PAT file? If so How?

"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."

I can't find a patchmap for the FP7 in the PGM resource page. So went to Roland..
Will this be it?

Its an .ins file and does not say its supported on Windows 7.

I hope I am not bugging you too much. The great thing is that you are taking me to very interesting places. And if you instruct me with baby steps, I WILL follow:)
Thanks.
Chris
