Answered my own question. I didn't realize that the Sonivox SoundStage is a one channel vsti instrument and it has to be entered as a plug in for each part. It works in Real band but Bb only supports one vsti synth at a time{grone}.

Hey JMatt, I too have struggled with finding a great sounding VSTi that is Multitimbral and is GM compatible. After buying many sample libraries that were NOT GM compatible, I was considering the Keytron SD2, which had good demos and was rated highly by a lot of users here. But I really didn't want to buy a sound module. 2 weeks ago, a buddy helped my find a wonderful Product by Vir2 called "Vi One". Here is the address> http://www.vir2.com/4DCGI/vir2/products/vione/index.html?1198Awesome sounds, less than $200 and seems to do everything I'm looking for. I haven't bought it yet, but I am on the fence and thinking about it. Let us know if you do get it!! Hope this helps, Ed

Ed,
I too would like to hear how this products works with BIAB as the demos on their site are indeed very good. Please keep us posted.
Later,

Ed and Danny
yes, I confirm, Vi One is absolutely OK with BIAB. Vi One works "inside" NI Kontakt Player, so the vst to choose is NI Kontakt Player.dll.
Then, choosing the multi "GM" module in Vi One, you will have the "right" instruments at the right place. The quality of the sounds is, on the whole, very good, of course with some highs and lows, anyway better, IMHO, than VSC.
Ciao!

Hey Alfstone,
Great info! Thanks so much. Just one question>
How would you compare the actual sounds or patches to Cakewalk Sonar TTS-1? I find many people using this VST for BIAB.
Thanks,
Ed

Hola Edoardo!
Well, I haven't TTS-1, but as far as I know it's very similar to the Roland family of Sound Canvas and Hyper Canvas: the look of TTs-1 is exactly the same of Hyper Canvas, so it's likely that the sounds too are very "near".
Vi One, in my opinion, gives you something more as sound quality. It's also full of hundreds of different instruments, but inside BIAB the only logical way to use it is by the GM module. This means that all the other sounds of VI One, many of them really great, aren't available (as far as I know...) in BIAB. Of course you will have them, if you want, for further editing with different DAWs.
Ciao!

If you buy Vi.one from Musiciansfriend or Guitar Center ($99), you can get a rebate for a free copy of First Call Horns. Now, I'd be happy about this and would buy it myself, but I already bought it. In fact, it's still sitting in a bag, in the box and uninstalled. I bought it about back in late October, before the November 1st start date for the rebate offer. It's now past the 30 day return date too.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to like it, when I clean up my computer....I'm just going to miss getting First Call Horns... TTS-1 and Hypercanvas are the same, pretty much. But they just don't sound good to me anymore.
