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 ...



Great! Now, just my opinion mind you others may disagree, don't use Biab for the midi files use Real Band. Biab has functions that allow you to work with midi files but RB is so much easier, all the tracks are laid out right in front of you, the editing is better, everything is better for this. Just play with using Biab as it was originally intended, creating a song based on you picking a style and entering the chords. All the rest of it, working with midi files, adding Biab style tracks to a midi file (or files, you can mix tracks from different ones) and much more is better served in RB. As you work with a midi file in Biab you're going to wind up putting it in RB anyway to finish it off and as soon as you do you're going to look at it and think why didn't I just start here in the first place.
If you would rather work with your midi files first and figure out how to modify all those commands and such, start a new thread about that in the Real Band forum. It will be pretty pretty much the same people answering you there but it makes it easier to track subjects using the forum search function.
