Further on, I have some more realizations about these problems in this Folder "X:\bb\MIDI SuperTracks - Demos". The SampleTank2 Hi-Q Polyphony for the Hi-Q-Piano is set too small. That is it is set to 32 voices, I have reset it to 64 voices. I discovered that the SampleTank2 piano bites off notes at 32 voice polyphony in some of the faster, denser playing styles. I just re-saved the SampleTank-Hi-Q-Preset with 64 voices over the original BiaB preset. Now all the notes come out with out being "stolen" by the next note.
I have not auditioned all the Demo folders, (I have BiaB Audiophile 2016) but so far it appears that there is no other folder of BiaB that has these issues. I thought that they were software-code issues or Super-MIDI-Tracks issues, but it turns out that they were only badly-set Demo.SGU issues. The problem was that the piano suddenly morphed into a xylophone and later into a saxophone. This would happen on the first bar of the second chorus and the ending respectively. This was only due to an (invisible) Bar-Setting. When I go to the first bar of the the Demo-Song, press<F5> then press "Reset Bar" the Demo-Song no longer morphs the piano into a xylophone at the beginning of Chorus-2. So this is a Bar-Setting Issue. But strangely it is NOT visible in the Bar-Settings GUI.
The "Attenzione Part3: INSTRUMENT NOT FOUND" was solved by deliberately setting the Piano-Part-Preset to the correct Hi-Q Piano Preset in the BiaB GUI.
I have noticed that I must NOT have the VSTi-Plugin-Settings Popup Window open when I save any change to a Song. This sometimes generates the memory issues and usually crashes BiaB. For that matter any other BiaB-Pop-Up-Window tends to do the same. And additionally, saving any change to a Song, while the song is playing, also tends to give these memory insufficiency errors which usually crash BiaB. At least this is the situation on my machine. I do not have a top-of-the-line killer computer, but I do not have a shabby one either. I use a Toshiba Qosmio X775 with 2.2Gz i7 with 8GB Ram and it seems to handle anything I throw at it. Getting such errors is not normal for any other software that I have installed. I had thought that these memory-insufficiency-error were due to the "Attenzione Part3: INSTRUMENT NOT FOUND" popup-boxes, but I am still getting the memory-insufficiency errors and I no longer have the IKM-popup popping up. This does seem to be a software issue.

I noticed from your other posts that you have been working on resolving this problem since early February, 2016.
Thank you for sharing your findings with us. The Hi-Q instruments use the free Sampletank player. I noticed the player defaults to 32 voices but was not aware the default number of voices can be changed by changing the number of voices then saving the patch. Excellent!

I just want to say "Thanks" for posting your solution. This is what the Biab Forum is all about and I'm sure you will help many of us who attempt to use ST with Biab.
Thank you,
Trax
