I finally succeeded with Tech Support Simon's help.
But prior to this I spent DAYS searching and on forum, Google, Youtube videos, etc. to no avail.
Was not crystal clear how to go into Options/MIDI and proceed getting the Kontakt dll installed. Lots of advice, instructions about how I might be using 32 bit Kontakt, how/where to find VSTi's, and on and on. I could get other DXi's and VSTs installed but not any Kontakt libs until recently.

This video is specific to using BIAB with Kontakt 5 and 6 which were VST2 only. Kontakt 7 and 8 are VST3 only and BIAB 2024 and older. But this is now obsolete as BIAB 2025 now includes VST3 and VST2.

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track.
