Blue Cat's PatchWork will load it and chain VSTi's that you can't do it BB.
But it's $99.

I assume your point is that the industry is moving, or has moved, to 64-bit plugins and the VST3 standard.

VST3 support could be considered overdue.

Try this for a free option
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qughfo4wi6rb8mz/KV_Element-Synth-FX-vst2-3.zip?dl=1
so put the .dll in your 64 bit vst plugins folder and the vst3 in you VST3 folder.
Load KV_ElementFX.dll into a BB audio/realtrack or KV_Element.dll into a BB midi track.
Both will load/Drag n Drop a vst2 or vst3 FX or instrument.
You can chain as many FX and Instruments as you like.
Ctrl+click remove connections.
Once hooked up Save Group.
EXT for host input: (sync,midi)though there is a sync issue with BB at the moment that needs fixing.
This way you can send the output of Ezkeys to Sforzando and use one of the Biab Instruments or another vst instrument like Kontakt.
Send midi output from ChordPotion to another instrument.
This will also let you have the VST gui free of the confines of the Biab VST window, having all available to edit at the same time.

PL, your input (as usual) is sensational.

I had suggested a Wishlist improvement in 2013 for a tool that showed the interconnections within the various systems.

It didn't get a huge amount of support, so I reluctantly dropped the idea.

However, your example absolutely demonstrates how useful this would be.

So you mean like a graphical representation of the midi in/out audio in/out in a flowchart ? I think that would be good.
I know when I get no sound I have to go through the settings and find where the issue is but if you could SEE it that would be good.
In MiniHost it shows the signal flow and direction with animated arrows on the connection links.
Yes if you had something like that to animated the signal flow it would help sort out issues.

Yes, that's exactly the concept.

I no longer have the original image, but the idea was to show graphically how everything was routed within the system, and possibly to highlight where issues could occur (inputs that were incorrectly connected to outputs etc). This would make setting up and configurations much easier - especially for newcomers (and me).

I had forgotten about this. BIAB 2022 hasn’t added support for VST3 plugins yet?

I only use plugins in my DAW, but I could see that making this update for BIAB could be useful for some.

This will take VST3 plugins inside Biab, it will also chain VSTi that Biab can't do. You are not limited to Biab limitations. Just load the VST2 version into Biab then add whatever VST3s you like.
