Hi, I fail to load the Hi-Q instruments into the sforzando plugin. BiaB says:
C:\BB\DX Settings\Hi-Q 10801 Koto, Acoustic Sforzando.tgs N/A The Band-In-A-Box instruments might not be installed. does not exist, cannot install to track:strings
thank you for your answer. My problem is, that I do not find any .wav-files in the folder, that BiaB tells me (in my case: C:\BB\DX Settings\Hi-Q 10801 Koto, Acoustic Sforzando.tgs) There are only .tgs-files and .txt-files. But where are the maching soundfiles? Would you please take a look, if in your folder E:\BB\DX settings ... are those soundfiles?
My Band In A Box installation is on my F drive. I can't remember whether I specified where I wanted the Sforzando .sfz and .wav files installed when I installed the program (or whether they were put here by default) but this is where I found them on my machine:
F:\Program Files\PG Music Inc\Band-in-a-Box Sounds\Programs
So whatever drive your \bb directory is on you may find them in a similar location.
Those (.tgs and .txt) files are NOT the actual HI-Q sounds themselves, just the info BIAB need to: point to, describe on screen what they are, and use them.
you need to INSTALL the sfz HI-Q sounds using the downloadable (from your account) file
"hiq_instruments_sforzando.exe"
or if you are using the supplied external hard drive you will find that file in the folder
pay attention to where you tell it to install the DEFAULT is
"C:\Program Files\PG Music\Band-in-a-Box Sounds\"

And you don't have to install it to the default. I have all my "sounds" on my D: drive, so I just installed them there. I believe the installer writes the location to the registry, so Sforzando knows where to find them.
As I understand it, the TGS files are basically just a file to say load Sforzando with this particular instrument, and then Sforzando goes out to where you installed the WAV files representing the instrument and finds it.

Thanks a lot to all of you for your help! My mistake was, that I only used the buildin upload manager after the upgrade to BiaB 2017 and did not download seperately: hiq_instruments_sforzando.exe from my account.
