Actually most of the good MIDI sound sources have one patch/sound per track.

The reason there are program changes, that is changes of sounds, per track as all GM sound sources can utilize them. Your problem is that Plogue Sforzando is not a GM sound source. If you want or need program changes and want better sounds than what comes with BiaB then I advise you get a soundfont player. Many GM soundfonts (SF2s) sound better.

PS - I use the BiaB sounds as a scratch pad. Once I have the song the way I want it I drag and drop the MIDI to my DAW, Studio One Pro, and utilize my much better sounds. It does take a little time but the results are worth it, at least to me.

I got banned from Weight Watchers for dropping a bag of M&Ms on the floor.
It was the best game of Hungry Hippos I've ever seen!
