The SD2 responds to MSB (Most Significant Bit) commands to change banks. Leave the LSB (Least Significant Bit set to zero at all times if that can be sent also.

For example, MSB = 0 would be the GM bank.

MSB = 1 = would allow you to select the 128 voicies listed on page 38 of your SD2 manual as "Voice Bank B" (Which they call "Value" it is really the MSB)

MSB = 10 = Voice Bank C

MSB = 2 = Presets Bank

MSB = 4 = the "Live Drums" Percussion Bank

And that covers them all.

These can be sent from a sequencing softare or from a MIDI controller keyboard that is able to send those MSB Bank commands from a button push or can be programmed to do so.

If you are using Band in a Box, Powertracks or Realband, you can download working and tested Patch Maps for the SD2 that when properly installed into the programs will allow you to simply select the voices from lists in English.
