Have you checked that there isn't a patch map for BIAB already made? I'll check after I post this.

EDIT: There is a patch map already made for the Roland RD 700, if that's the same thing as the 700 sx. Go here: http://www.pgmusic.com/support_miscellaneous.htm

You can convert the SONAR .INS file in BIAB. This is from the BIAB help:

Convert Synthesizer Patch List

Convert patch lists from PowerTracks Pro Audio or Cakewalk to make synthesizer patch file lists (.PAT files) easily.

Band-in-a-Box can now read a patch file list generated by PowerTracks Pro Audio or Cakewalk, and convert it to a .PAT file for use in Band-in-a-Box. The patch file contains the name and numbers for all patches on a synthesizer, so that you can access your patches easily by name. If you already have a patch list for your synthesizer from one of these other programs, you can now convert it to Band-in-a-Box format easily.

Converting PowerTracks patch list to Band-in-a-Box .Pat files.
PowerTracks stores its patch lists in a single file, called PATCHES.INI. This file contains all of the patch lists for the synths supported by PowerTracks. Band-in-a-Box stores the patch list for each synth in a separate file, with an extension of .PAT.

To convert a PowerTracks patch file to a Band-in-a-Box Patch file, you will be choosing the c:\pt\ptw\patches.ini, and then choosing the synth that you want to convert to a .PAT file.

Press the Higher Banks button at the top right of the BB screen. Press the [Open INI/INS…] button.

Choose the file c:\pt\patches.INI.

You’ll then see a menu of synths stored in the patches.INI file. Select one to convert.

Create a name for the .PAT file (e.g. My Patch List.PAT) and save it to c:\bb.

Converting a Cakewalk .Ins file to a Band-in-a-Box .Pat file.

This is done using the same process described above for PowerTracks, except that you open the individual .INS file instead of a PATCHES.INI file. For example, if you have a Cakewalk file called "My Synth.INS" you would select this file name. You would then save that converted list to c:\bb\My Synth.PAT.
