BM,

Thank you for the images, they help a lot.

Since the problem is due to a new installation of BIAB 2011.5 on a Windows 10 computer, here are some things that I'd try...

1. Make sure that you have the latest build for BIAB 2011.5 installed. This is found at the below link. It looks as though the last update for the 2011.5 version of the program was build #329. (If you haven't yet installed this, download it and run the update. When the update installation gives the program paths, double-check that they are correct.)

2. Under your midi driver set up (Options | Prefs | MIDI Driver), make sure that you have a VST/DXi synth installed. To do this, have a look at the image below that I've labelled "VST/DXi synth set up"...

  • Select Microsoft GS Wavetable synth (#1).
  • Make sure that the VST/DXi checkboxes (#2) are active.
  • Select a softsynth (#3). I have the old Roland VSC DXi synth selected on the image. You choices will probably be different (Maybe Coyote Forte DXi, Coyote WT, etc.)


3. When I had a close look at the two images you posted, I noticed that the Windows 10 installation has scroll bars (see second image below). This is a Windows thing. If you use these scroll bars, are the missing options revealed? If so, it might be possible to resize the VST/DXi window.


Hope these thoughts help,
Noel
