I start with an all RT style -- I decide that I want to have a custom midi patch for bass. I go to "select custom midi style for this track" and then I click on "choose style with this patch" and select the midi acoustic bass part I want. The mixer shows that I've chosen something from the style that contains the midi part I want , but it also says "0 no patch change. It won't generate midi and track remains green. It doesn't turn yellow like a midi track will. Never had this happen before.
I'm getting increasingly frustrated with new versions of BIAB breaking long-standing, stable features. I've been using BIAB since 1992 on Atari.
I'm fairly sure that I can repeat your findings. Even after generating again, the tracks shows as a RealTrack (green) and doesn't actually play anything. Lots of issues with the mixer are still getting resolved. I'll report this to the developers.

Wish I had a buck for every time this question comes up over the years. Generally after a ton of effort we confirm it can be done, but why does it have to such a big deal?
Sorry, but that is all I got for you on this item.
Yes, it's never straightforward for me, even on the few occasions when I get it to actually work
When I do get the result I expected I find it's actually a reason to celebrate. Yes!
Biab is as for long as i remember always behaving like when you're negotiating with a political party; you tell it to do something, even a simple thing, but don't expect any straightforwardness.

Ah but the Deep Joy when you get through to it - and it works!!

I really can share your joy, of getting assumed basic functions to work as expected. In fact it is an utter source of frustration and drain of musical energy.
When I fought a long fight with BIAB to get the thing to work, most time I am worn out by then.
I am also a decades long user ob Biab always keeping the hope this piece of software with it´s magic promise to do all the things in the functional specs, starts to simply do it´s purpose....
Sorry, to be triggerd by this thread......
All the best!

I'm going to keep working with the developers so that they will be able to understand and hopefully resolve the issues that you are identifying. I don't think these are isolated cases. Resolving such potential issues will be a positive outcome for the program and its users.

The problem of not being able to put a custom midi style on a track with an existing RealTrack has been fixed by build 822. Much thanks to the development team. John
