When I load a midi supertrack on any channel, it seems to load correctly. But when I hit the generate button, I get no notes showing up and nothing playing. I check the piano view, let's say on the melody channel where I loaded the supertrack, and there are no notes there. I've tried this under several channels, including utility tracks with the same results. Under "Help/what add-ons do I have", it says I have all the supertracks. I have called tech support already and did everything they said--- like "return to factory settings" and re-install my BIAB 2023 add-pak. I'm sure this problem did not exist for BIAB 2022.

I thought I might wait for the next update to correct this problem, but that seems to be taking a long time.

This is probably not the problem but are you sure that you have assigned a sound/patch/VSTi to the MIDI supertrack and are you sure that sound/patch/VSTi is working correctly?

Yes -- to all of your questions. When I load the supertrack, a dialogue asks if I want to load the superPatch which creates a blue entry on the mixer track. When I look in the plugins column, the Sforzando plugin is there. When I click and open that, notes sound on the Sforzando keyboard when I play them with the mouse. Everything seems to load correctly with no error messages-- just no supertrack notes occur when I hit "generate".
My default midi plugin is Cakewalk TTS-1 and this works fine for custom midi styles on the same track.

Any updates on this? My midi SuperTracks have stopped working since I updated (downgraded?) my studio to Windows 11 Pro. I get exactly the same results. Also, my M-Audio MIDI Uno cable for my keyboard stopped working as well. So I think Windows might have broken the midi system, but that's just speculation and it could well be something else.

Be honest, how old is that?

my M-Audio MIDI Uno cable ....

Otherwise, it looks like no one ever touched this tread. And you have given us nothing to work with. Give us more or call support is the best I can say.

All I asked was if this problem had been solved yet. No further information needed from me. If/when we get to that point, I'll start a new thread.

MovingAir,

When you say the MIDISuperTracks stopped working. In what way have they stopped working?

1) Can you see them and load them onto a track?
2) Are they able to be generated?
3) Is it the final MIDI output sound that can't be heard?

Also, when you updated your OS, did you change any of the BIAB directories to different drives?
Lastly, did you reinstall BIAB on the new system or did you update the OS with BIAB present?

MovingAir,
Very likely it's a user error. This was not a "common" issue and it was only reported by a single member. Notes generate for me and I am getting sound from my default MIDI VST synth from Super Midi tracks. Unless you will explain what you are trying to achieve / your setup, I doubt anybody will be able to help you.
