Thanks for the suggestion, but what I'm experiencing is not normal behavior. In BiaB, when I right click on a MIDI track and click "Select Hi-Q MIDI Synth patch" I get an "Instrument Not Found" response. This has always worked perfectly and with great results until now... Noel, yes, I can expand the Band in a Box folder, select a Hi-Q instrument, and the instruments plays perfectly. The sounds just won't autoload from BiaB using the Hi-Q commands. Odd... You may be describing normal behavior. The inability to save ST operation/settings has been discussed in the past.

I wonder if PG Music support can shed any light on this, and why it may be occurring?

Okay, there is definitely something going on with Sampletank and Hi-Q. I tried to launch Hi-Q styles this evening. The first thing it tells me is the SampleTank isn't loaded and the instrument is unavailable, but they there it is and it plays just fine. See the screen shots below.
I'm running the latest build.
Same message as you John, but then goes on to play ok and sampletank loads fine. Latest build of biab. musiclover

Makes me think that some signature for Sampletank that BIAB is looking for changed, hence the error message, but the load command actually works fine. Or something like that.

Just to be clear, my OP problem is NOT the same as the one replied to here. These two issues need to be separated. My issue is that Hi-Q sounds do NOT load in BiaB. Know it's a pain, but please read through the posts. Thanks for all the helpful intentions! Will call PGMusic tomorrow...

This all does seem like the same problem.
In my experience, those "Instrument not found" errors have always been caused by the Hi-Q sounds not being installed correctly, or SampleTank not being pointed to the correct Instruments folder.
I'm sure we'll figure it out when we hear from you. If you have trouble getting through by phone, please contact us through the online chat service. Feel free to ask for me.
Thanks

So Kent at BiaB figured it out in no time flat. I had restored the accidentally deleted BiaB sounds from the 2015 version drive, which was the problem. Kent sent me a link to the right files and all is well. Thanks, Kent! Thanks as well to all the fellow users who pitched in to help. Great product, great support, great user community...doesn't get much better than that.

Kent, can you flick the instructions up here, as they might help. I have long since lost my built in BIAB Sampletank files since loading up Omnisynth etc. I have tons of IK Multimedia samples that I bought for $5 that I haven't even bothered to try to use. I spent weeks waiting for zero response from IK MUltimedia. Thanks

Hi Lambada,
All I did was give Ron a download link for the most recent Hi-Q installer, as some files were missing from his installation. He reinstalled, and it was fixed right away.
I vaguely remember seeing this issue (or something very similar) with the initial Hi-Q installers from early 2015, so it was either caused by using that old installer, or files had somehow gone missing or weren't restored correctly from an earlier installation (not 100% sure which).
Thanks
Kent

I am having the same problem with my Hi-Q SampleTank sounds.
I just did a re-install of biab v 15 and then installed updates 415 and 417. I let the installer use the default paths during the installation. Real Tracks, Real Drums, and everything else seems to be working fine.
I can also see that the C:\bb\DX Settings folder has references to the Hi-Q sound sets. The only Hi-Q sounds I can find after the installation are a set of woodwinds and synth sounds in the following folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IK Multimedia\SampleTank 2.5\Instruments\Band-in-a-Box.
I searched my whole drive and there are no other SampleTank sound sets present on the computer. Am I missing something in the install procedure? My original purchase was for the 2015 biab megapack.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
Since I use a hardware MIDI synth, I'm not a good source of info on SampleTank. Several other users here are, though, so give it some time. If no one helps by Monday, give PG Music Support a call. Their info is in the Support tab, above. They're really good.

In all your included (or downloaded) installs look for one like
"hi-q_instruments_sampletank_01-02.exe"
and run it
I just ran the full BIAB & RB installer for BIAB 2015 and it doesn't look like IT installs the HI-Q sounds only the PRESETS but so look for(or go download the HI_Q Sets 1 and 2 installer)

Try right-clicking on the shortcut you use to start BIAB and then choose "Run as administrator". If that doesn't help you get Sampletank playing with BIAB, then contact PG Music. It might pay to ask for Kent. He's the man who fixed Ron's problem. The path you give above for the Band In A Box sounds in Sampletank is correct. Regards, Noel

This is probably the reason if there is a separate installer for the sample tank files. I don't seem to have a file with that name in my install set. I have about 9 files in in my install set. Is there a way to recover a download set from PGMusic for a previous purchase? I'm a registered user.
Thanks!
Richard

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."
