There is a work around for the SOLOIST. If you're going to use Upper Bank Patches for the soloist you need to do these steps.
1. open the soloist
2. choose the soloist you want
3. set the instrument to"no change"
4. generate the soloist
5. Choose your patch from the upper bank patches .pat file screen
6. save the song with save+

It APPEARS that the other instruments are OK. What is needed is when a custom patch is used all of the CC & patch data is stripped out. What's happening now is the patch data is stripped but the MSB is not. The data for the GM instrument selected in the soloist is generated after the custom patc data so it resets the custom patch to a GM patch. That's why at this point set the soloist Inst. to "no change"
