Placing the default instruments before the higher banks makes this work with the settings Andrew gave. The only way to know exactly where to place them was by looking at the examples. I originally thought that the GM definitions already present in the pat file covered this but now know otherwise.

This is not a simple conversion process as suggested in the documnetation - it would be good to let users know this. Now the work really begins because there are no exact files for RD 700 SX only the original and GX. When/if I get it done I will submit to the group.

Also entering the patches manually with MSB and LSB is a good temporary solution but awkward since the dialogue closes before all three peices of info are entered.

Also please pass this along to tech support so they know that the issue is resolved for my purposes.

Thanks to Andrew and al the forum members that helped resolve this challenge.
