I like to have the ability to integrate virtual instruments into band-in-a-box to replace MIDI. For example Eastwest products http://www.soundsonline.com/, UVI https://www.uvi.net/, and Sample Tank 3 http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/sampletank3/.
Also, 64bit VST Plugins.

The virtual instruments are used to replace the MIDI for real sounding instruments.

VSTi capabilities are already included in BBox since version 2016 and up...or am I not reading you right here?


Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!

Band-in-a-Box is a 32 bit software application so you need to purchase jBridge from PG Music Sales and install the program. jBridge acts as a translator between 32 bit and 64 bit applications.

Jbridge did not work well for many 64bits plugins. I do not recommence to use it.

))) Jbridge did not work well for many 64bits plugins. I do not recommence to use it.

Please provide an example. Jbridge works fine with every 64bit plugin we've seen. One point, since I assume you are using jbridge because you don't have a 32 bit version of the same plugin, perhaps you are mis-attributing something not working to jbridge, instead of either the plugin or the host program. In my experience, it is with the hosts/plugins, and not with the bridge, which is just passing data. It is analogous to using 1/4" headphones to listen to iPhone music, using a 1/8" adapter. If the music cannot be heard, maybe it's the iPhone that is muted, and not the adapters fault.


Have Fun!

I've installed Sonar X1, 64bits on my PC,WIN10 OS, used Jbridge to connect the X1's plugins for using in BiAB 2015 , some plugin run but BiaB 2015 cracked so badly, I've ended up to reinstall Sonar X1 with 32 bits app/ plugins

Not all Sonar provided plugins work in other DAWs. It would be better if you listed the ones you are having trouble with, so we can check them out (many of us here on the forum have Sonar) and see what happens in our environment. Just saying "Sonar plugins" doesn't help. And are you talking strictly about effects, but also instruments?

Please let us know.

Some "SONAR Plugins" could be for the proprietary Pro Channel. They wouldn't work outside of SONAR anyway.
