- Fixed: loading in a .SEQ when the tracks window is scrolled down so that track 2 or greater is the top track, could cause the overviews to be out of alignment with the track info panels, if, for example, some of the track heights were smaller than normal.
- Added: FX button is shown in blue in the mixer window when the master, aux, or track contains FX
- Fixed: Markers (entered via the markers button on toolbar) would sometimes show up on the toolbar of the audio edit window instead of on the time line.
- Fixed: MIDI patch numbers in the Mixer had the wrong background color (gray instead of black) and were hard to read.
- Fixed: if a plugin could not be loaded because it was a proprietary plugin intended for a specific DAW, then the error message would contain Chinese characters.

Andrew,
Good to know you and your staff are vigilant and responsive to fixing bugs and doing upgrades. Seems like a lot of fixes for 2016. If I upgrade from my 2015 to 2016 BIAB, will these RealBand Build 7 Update be already included?
Thanks
Atze
