For Newbert only:


NEWBERT Said: FWIW, the Hi-Q files ARE still located directly under D:\bb\dxsettings. (They are located in the program files(x86)\IK Multimedia\Instruments folder as well.) "

Larry replied:

Then I would simply leave those alone since they do not hurt anything being elsewhere (but will probably confuse you and PG support later) so as info

In YOUR "D:\bb\DX Settings" folder there should be 81 files that START with

"HI-Q…" and end with either .txt or .tgs.

And there are exactly THREE files per "HI-Q…" named type (Two .txt's ; one .tgs)
(27 HI-Q sounds times 3 files per sound = 81 files)

There should also be a tow other files (minimum)
"DefaultDXiSynth.tgs" file and a "Factory_DefaultDXiSynth.tgs" [and POSSIBLY a
Factory_DefaultDXAudio.tgs -Depends on other installs]


NONE of these files should be in the \Band-in-a-Box\ sub-folder anywhere! But they also do not HURT anything being there- they just confuse you (and will confuse PG support at some point)


NEWBERT SAID: "….I assume those are distributed throughout the program files(x86)\IK Multimedia\Instruments folder and NOT the d:\bb\dxsettings\ folder?"

Larry SAID:

Again correct grasshopper but too many for me to manually type out you get the thumbnail verison:

\Bass has 12 files (3 basses x 4 files types each of .stip, .sti. .sth. .stw)

\Drums 8 files (2 kits x 4 files types each of .stip, .sti. .sth. .stw)

\Guitar 28 files (7 types/kinds x 4 files types each of .stip, .sti. .sth. .stw)

\Piano 29 FILES (8 types/kinds of keys but not EXACTLY 4 of each kind of file since the two organs JAZZ and ROCK SHARE the .stw, .sth and .sti files they only have unique .stip files)

\Strings 8 files ( 2 kinds times 4 files types each of .stip, .sti. .sth. .stw)

\Synth 12 files (3 kinds times 4 files types each of .stip, .sti. .sth. .stw)

\World 8 files (2 kinds times 4 files types each of .stip, .sti. .sth. .stw ).type

NEWBERT SAID: "Also, how do I go about installing the VSTi for ST without having to reinstall everything or use up another ST activation?"

Larry said:

If you already have it installed - simply re-installing but adding the VSTi should not require re-authorization but that's a crap shoot - you are on your own. (PS if you run out of authorizations- simply email IK support they should fix you up) .

There is at least one other way but not for novices-so I won’t be listing it here

good luck - DO CONTACT SUPPORT on this!!
