In other words, just changing to one and then expecting to be able to hear it immediately doesn't work. I think it is a matter of the software somehow getting set or "focus".

Anyway, after hitting the Play button, and while that song is playing for a few bars, I then hit the keyboard and can make sure I hear the chosen synth playing, then I can hit the Stop button.

And after doing the above, I can play the keyboard and hear it via the synth for the rest of that particular bb session whether or not the song is playing.

Give that a try.

Still not working, Mac. In fact, I can't get ANY sound when hitting Play, either. (In other words I cant even hear what BIAB is playing.) When hitting Play, I get a yellow pop-up on the upper right that says that "DXI output will be silent because the ASIO4ALL driver is not connected, possibly because of using a soft synth for MIDI output such as GS Wavetable." I get this message no matter what I use for MIDI output (Wavetable or MIDI Mapper or None). And it happens no matter which VST I set the Dxi output to.

I've tried re-booting Windows (which the pop-up also suggests), but still no joy.

Any further thoughts? Thanks.

EDIT: I'm not sure whether this sheds any light on anything, but the inputs from my Digital Piano DO show on BIAB's "Big Piano" and the latency looks like it may be pretty good. But of course there are still no sounds.
