Whatever I do the modified date of the "sforzando VST_x86.dll" is always 12/04/2016 and shows as version 1.873. This is even when I install it using the "sforzando v. 1.901.exe" installer. However the standalone version shows that it is v.1.901 in the settings panel.
However if I load a MIDI Supertrack demo that uses Hi-Q sounds it works fine and the Hi-Q sounds are used on the appropriate tracks. If I open the DXi Synth settings panel and examine the individual track that use the Hi-Q sounds I see the sforzando panel with the correctly loaded sound and the Settings panel in Sforzando shows that it is v. 1.901. So I am even more puzzled.
