I know I must be doing something wrong but for some reason BIAB can't find any VST instruments that I have installed, such as IK Multimedia Sampletude Free among others. If I try to choose a DLL that I installed on the SSD hard drive (all my plugins and programs for MIDI are there), none of those register in the Audio DXI dropdown to add. When I do a search for VST plugins nothing is found but 2 PG plugins then get added to that short list. What exactly am I missing here?
In addition, I wanted to discuss some other guitar synths / simulators here and how they are similar, differ, used for different purposes, etc. but the post disappeared - another one. Is that not allowed here such as the name of a plugin above?
Thanks guys. Still trying to figure out what I have and not so simple. Trying to go through the tutorial in the manual.
-- Note: I don't have an ASIO PCI card as I hear that the M Audio cards crackle when used with a z68 processor because there are no native drivers. Not good. Not sure of alternatives right now and not happy. Using the built in primary sound driver which should be more than fast enough.

Go to:
options/midi/audio driver setup/
Click on the button that says" VST?DXi synth settings,make sure synth track tab is active,click on the drop down in the first listing,on the bottom of the drop down click on " Add VSTi" then find the DLL and you should be fine. DXi's will show up automatically.

DXi's only show up if they are installed on the system (registered in the OS). Part of the nature of DXi synths.
VSTi's do not need to be installed to the system, just need to locate the .dll file as John mentioned.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I did that and nothing happened. Clicked on the only DLLs I could find that had the same name, e.g. Korg M1, Wavestation, etc. Reaper automatically found all of these when I found the folder and it worked. However in BIAB, it just didn't do anything and showed me the same dialog box again.

OK... I see here is part of the problem. When I substituted the Coyote VST, then it allowed me to use the VST instrument, e.g. M1. I was wondering how I could assign the VST instruments instead of using the general MIDI output using the built in GSM synth that is on the sound board.

I have never got any vst working in BIAB although the insert rack loks lie a vst instrument rakc, as found in Cubase its not. The behaviour I get is a flash of the name then the VST vanishes. I would dearly love to get things like True Pianos and NI b4 II working but never have. I think its a case of waiting for the next update. Whenever I psot about this I get told use RealBand, but this does not work either. IU am jsut stating facts HERE. Its a good program, but needs an update to the way Asio is handled, I believe one is coming.

First am neophyte in this area. One of our lady members, think from Australia gave us some links earlier this year. With RGC:audo sfz+ Vst synth software. http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/dosearch.php is the subject thread/s. Rachael was the lady and this is the specific link covering several VST's.http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/showflat.p...true#Post306111It does work with BIAB, and with some amount of tinkering was able to load so decent soundfonts and play them. It was of to the side of my current path of work, so didnt pursue any more. However the voices did sound very good, especially a piano voice. There are NO soundfonts in the synth, you have to load and assign soundfont/s to it. Yes did get it working with BIAB. Good luck, Seeker BTW....FREE download here. Soundfonts elsewhere ?? http://www.store.cakewalk.com/b2cus/productinfo.aspx?productid=35-cwsz1.40-20e

I have the same problem. I finally got one thing to work by replacing the default BIAB one on top but I can't get it to use sounds yet.
This is not something that we should wait to pay for 2012. I am guessing it either works (and might be unnecessarily complicated) or it just doesn't work.
