I am new to Band In A Box and have been using VSTs for sound. However, when I change styles, it does not maintain the sounds of the VSTs; consequently, I have to reload the VSTs and the patches again. I am considering buying a Yamaha TX81Z, and I am hoping someone (especially if there is someone that is already or in the past has used a TX81Z with Band In The Box) can give me answers to the following questions:

1. I do not want to buy a TX81Z if I am going to have the same problem with having to reload patches when I change to another style. Does using a hardware synth help in this regard?

2. I noticed in the MIDI/Audio Drivers Setup under Synthesizer/Sound Card that there are quite a few Yamaha synths listed. I know that the TX81Z does have a GM soundbank. Which Yamaha synths (if any) would work with the TX81Z?

Thanks.
