Cubase (after conversion to a script), and some midi players.. Also for those that want to roll their own BIAB PAT file in BIAB https://app.box.com/s/8lys8mdwftopytx60920ajkv8ltvyunl And for those that like ready rolled, here is the BIAB .PAT file that I rolled earlier. https://app.box.com/s/d0j9g0gzwa36rbc0ctxwqdhtkayufia4 The whole point of this is so that you don’t have to use a DGX keyboard Definition / PAT as they will offer you voices from the keyboards panel voices which are not present in the XG lite VST. So I have written a new version to only include the XGlite voice set. As always have fun. And let me know how you get on.

I also just last night pulled out your Easy Chord chart because the old gray matter had a hiccup...

For now I put the folder from your box in one of my VST folders. Ran a "scan for vst plugins" yet can not find it in BiaB. It is not shown in the "Choose plugin" dialog. What can possibly go wrong here? Thanks to Jim Foggle for the tip and Mike for the SW and to anyone else who can help a "blind" musician over his issues and over the "street".

OP Mike Head Expert Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 1,114 Cornwall UK	HI Stefan Did you download the actual vst zip as well as the pat file. And unzip to you vst folder. Then as you say you need to add it to your biab vsts by going to plugin options and adding. You should now be able to load it as your default synth. (Make sure that the folder that the vst has been put in is in your search path for scan vsts.) The pat file I find it easier to just copy to C: bb/data/util/synth kits.

Museeker Apprentice Joined: May 2010 Posts: 258 Germany	Hi Mike, thanks for answering so quick. Yes, thats what I did. Unzipped it into one of some VST plugin folders. Now I even spread this folder to the various other locations. Yet I can not see the synth showing up after plugin scan. I would expect the synth name be something like "Yamaha SGP2 (S-YXG2006LE)", right? The patch map I put in your suggested folder, yet I also can not see the "Yamaha SGP2 (S-YXG2006LE)" in the patches shown in the Midi dialog of BiaB. What can possibly go wrong in this procedure? Some 15 years ago we spend a holiday in Cornwall. You live in a wonderful landscape there :-) Cheers Stefan DAW: Studio One 6.2 Pro Interfaces: StudioLive AR12c, Scarlett 8i6 Windows 11 Professional AMD Ryzen 9 4900H, 16GB, 3,30 GHz

For some strange reason in this new version it does not show up with it’s full name just <VSTi>: which is why you did not recognise it, but it does still work if you select it. Andrew is aware of this. Yes Cornwall is a lovely place indeed even inspired me to compose a couple of bits of simple music ala Dolphins etc. (see my web site below) Mike BIAB2021 UltraPlus,AsusN55S1Tbssd, W10/64,Akai EIEpro Yamaha CVP405,SquireStrat, CoolsoftVMidSynth Novatation Impulse61 Ctr kbd, Cwalk blab Kontakt http://mikesmusic.byethost16.com/
