Can I set a default plugin for the Thru channel? My default synth is the Cakewalk TTS-1, which is fine for most cases, but for the through channel I almost always want my Pianoteq plugin. Would love to not have to change this every time I create a new song.

I don't believe you can set a default plugin for the thru channel but if I'm wrong someone will correct me.
However if you can't set it a work around would be to save a preset song with your settings then start each new song with it. You could label it something like "1 initial setup" so it would be on top of your song list. Just be sure after you start a new song you save as using a different song title, that way you would always have your "1 initial setup" song.
I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

You can also use VstSynthFont http://www.synthfont.com/VSTSF_news.html as it will let you load any VST instrument on a channel and this should stay there as default. In Options MIDI Drivers set it to "Route MIDI Thru to MIDI Driver" Set VstSynthFont as default synth.

In Options MIDI Drivers set it to "Route MIDI Thru to MIDI Driver" Set VstSynthFont as default synth. I'll mention the following here. I may be peculiar to me, though I can't see why as it happens on both my Linux+Wine setup and on my Win8.1 notepad PC. I also believe other people do not see the same problem ... odd. I couldn't get VSTSynthFont to 'stick' as my default VSTi. No matter what I did, it kept dropping back to CoyoteWT. If it works for you and/or the OP, great, if not there are other options like sforzando (which I'm presently using and which is sticking). Peter Gannon has drawn attention to the Cakewalk TTS-1 synth. +++ in this post +++

I've been using Cakewalk TTS-1 as my default synth for several years and it has worked great, though I do very little MIDI-specific work. Not sure how it will work with the Linux+Wine setup.

Not sure how it will work with the Linux+Wine setup. I'm quite happy to be out on a limb. I have to say, though, that I'm pretty impressed with how Wine on Linux works now. Most(*) of BiaB runs just as it should. I think I've not had any VSTs not work. If they haven't, I've not noticed. Probably only for the Linux enthusiast at present. I've only run the music stuff on AVL:MXI Linux and had some guidance from pipeline/musocity. (*) There's an important caveat that in needs .wav files, not .wma files to work. One can easily expand .wma to .wav using something like ffmpeg, but of course the audio quality remains as if .wma. The UltraPAK expands to something like 1.7TB.

I was thinking with Linux the Biab Track Injector should work and inject the wma if the Linux version of Reaper handles wma files now ? The Win version used to use ffmpeg but that was not accurate so they used the WMF codec after I asked them.
Though it will handle any other format you convert the RT RD to like mp3, flac, wav, ogg, wavepack, aiff.
It would just need the paths in the script changed to add the wine drive to the path for bb and AutoHotkey.

I've not yet had the patience/enthusiasm to get to grips with the track injector. Probably something to do with the depression :-( However, today for the first time in years I spent several hours in my garage/workshop clearing up, clearing out, making space, without a single panic attack. That's huge progress from the dark place my ex-employer left me. For a long time I'd fail even to manage 20 minutes without going into melt-down.

I have been looking at my garage/workshop and keep saying I gotta clean that out but lack of enthusiasm and energy it just got put off for years, but I think you have just encouraged me to do it NOW !
I'm over all my depression and panic attacks these days thank God ! it's just left me with stress and low energy from time to time as the adrenals are a bit depleted from working overtime from all I went through years back.

I'm over all my depression and panic attacks these days thank God ! it's just left me with stress and low energy from time to time as the adrenals are a bit depleted from working overtime from all I went through years back. What I did for some time was allocate 1/2 hour to the task, so I knew I had an end. And I ended when that 1/2 hour was up. That allowed me to keep both the garage and my panic attacks just about under control. It also allowed me slowly to build up an 'immunity' to it. It's quite shocking just how debilitating depression can be. Yesterday and today have been ground-breaking for me.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
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."
