I created a tune on BIAB. Opened the tune in RB. Then used the Plug-in mode to drop the tracks into Sonar X2. The drag and drop worked fine. However, when listening to the tracks, one of the tracks, the Synth String track, only ONE note of the five notes played by the Synth Strings plays. I'm not sure if only one note dropped into Sonar. Or, if only one note from the synth string chord is playing. I repeated the drag and drop procedure a few times--same result. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ralph Anthony

It could be because the synth is using midi and the track or synth is set up for each note of a chord to be output to a seperate channel. In other words the style maybe treating the synth output like it is a guitar output.

Check your global preferences or song settings to see if "output guitar to six strings" is set and uncheck it.

I'm sorry I can't tell you the setting location but I'm on my tablet and not near my computer.

you should be able to tell very quickly if only one note migrated to sonar by looking at your strings track in piano roll view. If all of the notes are present, then it isn't a drag n drop problem. In that case it would probably be something in your Sonar settings.

On the other hand, if you examine the track in PRV and indeed there is only one note for each chord, you should notify PGMusic support.

That Synth String track could possibly be set up in bb using the bb MIDI harmonies engine on the Melody Track. The engine is driven by a single note.

See the bb FAQs page or the internal Help file for how to export a Harmony track and get all notes of the Harmony Engine in it.

Yes, set the audio driver to MME and try. That is the only thing that worked for me.
