not sure about loading custom patches or programming, but the roland has a rather unique way of operation and the manuals should have been clear on that. Re: not sounding what it would sound like, Maybe, that happens when you say, open a midi file and start playing it from bar 2 or 3 and thus the sequencer will not send the initial information because you are already past it. Pressing control q will send the initial midi file information, while control w will send the curren actual information (for example if you are on bar 10 and there was a program change on bar 6 it will send that immediately to your controller)
