Ok so I read that 3 times and don't get it.

I use a Ketron. I use Save with Patches and Harmony.

Works fine.

There are also settings that allow you to stipulate to allow or not allow the style to change your settings. So for example if a style says the piano is a regular piano, unless you change yonder setting, the preferences setting will override your pref.

Poke around some more, I'm sure what you want to do is there.

Secondly Post this in the Band in a Box forum. Lots of people don't read this much.
