As soon as I installed 2022 I started to get Access Violation errors playing all my existing songs both MIDI and RT styles. Here is a summary, I wonder if anyone else is having this problem.
Happens with all the 2022 latest builds and when I switched back to 2021 it happens with 2021 now as well!!!! Is random anywhere in a song and is not style or song dependent. I have tried RTFS several times and use “run as administrator” set in the BIAB shortcut. I use an external synth (SD-50) and audio module (Focusrite) with ASIO. I have not changed any hardware or software settings and have had exactly the same set-up for years with every annual update. I have also tried sending the midi start signal direct to the computer via a separate midi interface and tried changing ASIO buffer/sample rate and switching to MME – same problem. Here is a clue to what is causing it……. I always use “pause until midi or key received” so my keyboard midi out is connected to the SD50 midi in so a MIDI start signal is sent to BIAB via midi. This requires enabling the MIDI THRU setting in BIAB. If I disconnect this midi cable or don’t touch the keyboard while the song plays, the problem goes away. This is the only thing that stops the problem, even disabling MIDI THRU doesn’t help - I have to actually disconnect the MIDI cable or stop playing the keyboard.
This post would be too long if I described everything else I have tried so I will stop and see if anyone has any immediate thoughts
If you send the log and a detailed description of when the access violation come up (or link this forum post) and send it in to support@pgmusic.com, our tech team would be happy to assist you!
Are you using the most up-to-date ASIO driver for the Focusrite audio interface? The Focusrite is mentioned multiple times in the error message.
I also noticed the mention of Focusrite in the error log so I disconnected the Focusrite completely and switched to using ASIO FOR All software in my laptop - same problem. Also using MME makes no difference.
This has definitely something to do with sending a midi signal from my keyboard to the computer while a song is playing. If I disconnect the midi cable or just don't play the keyboard while the song is playing then there is never a problem. Also why should it have just started to happen after many years OK?

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
