Shoot. That doesn't help much. However, since your post, I have been checking out native instruments' new Kore player. It looks and behaves a lot like bandstand. You can get a free version of the player by visiting the native instruments site. Looks like that is where bandstand went. Let me know if you're able to get it working with BIAB!



I'll check out Kore player. But your suggestion leads me to another question -- or really, a bunch of them -- in search of a soft synth for Mac BIAB 2009.5.

Does anybody know:

1. Can Garritan Personal Orchestra or Garritan Jazz and Big Band be used with Mac BIAB 2009.5 with the old NI Kontakt 2 engine Garritan supplied? (I use it with Mac Logic Pro as an audio units plug-in; works fine. Never tried to figure it out with Mac BIAB, and I can find no information on PG's web site about how to use Mac BIAB and GPO, though there's a page of info on using GPO with Windows BIAB at http://www.pgmusic.com/tutorial_garritan.htm#bandinabox).

2. Can GPO or GJBB work with Mac BIAB 2009.5 via the new ARIA player Garritan is now providing with GPO (and will apparently provide for Jazz and Big Band soon). If not, is there any way to get GPO and Mac BIAB talking to each other?

And finally, how would installing the latest Mac OS X upgrade, Snow Leopard, affect the answers to any of the above?

I do see a somewhat helpful page on PG's web site at http://www.pgmusic.com/tutorial_bbm_nosound.htm, that discusses how Mac BIAB can communicate with third-party programs via the IAC Bus built into OS X, or the BIAB virtual ports. But it's not very specific. Anybody know more about what works and what doesn't with Mac BIAB?
