Once the Ketron is installed in Band in a box press the Plus key to the right of the patch. You will notice if you have chosen Rock Organ you get 4 variations, or Jazz Organ gives others. These reside in the higher banks. Once you find one patch you like you save the song with patches and harmonies after pressing the fill with patches option on the pop up box to populate the list. If you set you volumes and patches, save the song with a new name, I often apppend JC to the song name so I know I did something.

A for example would be I use the Ketron to play a B3 in Route 66. I left the original song title as is but saved the patches etc. as JCNJV. I know then this song is using higher patches because JC means I customized it and NJV means turn down the volume on the JV1010 which is daisy chained to the Ketron. Some sets have the Ketron panned one way and the JV1010 the other if I am using only midi. To me this fattens and makes some sounds more interesting. I tend to keep a set where I use both, and when switching sets the other folder will have all NJV so I just lean over and kill the volume to the JV1010. Note that my keyboard is a Roland --Rogers with extra organ sounds and it is also jacked out the the powermixer and some sets have the Thru function disabled (or muted to 0) so that the keyboard plays through the mixer and the Ketron does the midi and the sound module does Realdrums and Realtracks. Seems complicated at first but in the end it works.

You SD2 manual should show you what patches you have, like the JV1010.

With the JV1010 you have the ability to put in a patch during the intro, I use a pop up box so the Ketron may be doing organ but the JV1010 is doing horns.
