Hi Blake,
Thanks for the suggestion - I think that you may have something here. I do have the Microsoft GS synth set as my default midi (as opposed to DXi) synth, and the chordbuilder is not working even on all midi styles.

However, when I go to All Programs/Accessories/entertainment/Volume I am getting an error regarding the realtek sound hardware. I think that this is my PCs onboard soundchip which may have been disabled by the engineer who set up my system (I have an external firewire MOTU 828 card).

BIAB is crashing when I try and play with the assignment of the midi synth (perhaps because I have the DXi option selected). I am keen not to destabilise my setup so I will probably leave this one alone.

It may still be an issue where a realtrack 'piano' track is selected though - I just can prove it on my setup.

The ideal solution would be for a back-up default chord to sound from the default installed synth(be it midi, DXi, or VSTi).

Thanks to Peter also for offering to look at this - this would be much appreciated.


If I hadn't seen such riches I could live with being poor.
