Welcome to 'sometimers'
You CAN have RB use Sonar patch maps, but it isn't automatic as far as I know either.



ah, THAT'S what it was... I do vaguely recall clicking ACTION/CONVERT PATCH MAP FROM CAKEWALK or some such command a lonnng time ago. Now I remember that I couldn't figure out how to access the new patches, so I gave up and moved on to something else.

The failing memory isn't good, but MAN! Having access to all the other banks of patches sure is! I have 13 banks of 127 patches each which equals 1,651 patches.

It has always been a vexation to search through all of them for the right patch, since the various libraries are a mix of instruments, and there might be similar patches scattered across all 13 banks.

Now that I see how the patches.ini file works, I think I'll remap the patches under menus for each instrument. That way all the strings will be together, all the pianos will be together, etc

After a little playing, I must say that the ability to use more than the GM patches really adds a lot to BIAB... especially in techno, new age and dance genres where there are so many specialized patches in the upper banks
