Rharv: You might have a slightly different version of the manual than I have (or maybe an earlier model). On p112 of my rd-700gx_e2.pdf file (downloaded from Roland) it shows me how to set GM/GM2 on using the [EDIT] key (and I can verify this). But I would bet that the Roland General MIDI patch that I got with the BiB does exactly what you are recommending ... GM System On, GM2 System On, or GS Reset MIDI message. Anyway, the Roland General MIDI patch gets me access to the drum kits, and all the other sounds on my Roland ... at least so far. I still have the problem that these aren't necessarily stable. This is probably because of systems commands that are from my MIDI files ... I think by File/Import Chords from MIDI/ BiB procedure, I can automatically get these cleaned out, and then make any detailed changes with BiB. I'm still trying to tackle how BiB handles the structuring of the music, with endings and repeats. Chris
