Sorry forgot all about this one (if you are porting the tracks to Reaper then look at REATRAK it will import the BB Chords). I made a basic video on how to set it up (best to load the energyXTE.dll into the Audio track see below, the energyXT.dll is for midi tracks and the energyXTE.dll is Effects for audio track, this way will give 7 MultiRiff tracks). Tracks are generated up in BB and just dragged into the tracks in the plugin. These tracks play along in sync to the tracks in BB. MultiRiffsYou can even do MultiRiffs this way by generating 7 of the same instrument after you have dragged all the song tracks out of BB into the plugin. Load energyXTE.dll into the Audio track (click Audio+ in the bottom right of the Mixer). In BB using F5 Mute each track at bar 1 (except Audio)then set each track F5 Back to Normal (except Audio) where the Multiriff starts then F5 Mute where the riff ends (except Audio), you then solo the first track and the EnergyXT track with left click, play back from just before the MultiRiff starts by double clicking on the chord sheet, now un-slolo track 1 and solo track 2 and playback, and so on until you find the right riff if not generate another 7, once the right riff is found drag that track into the plugin this will give the whole track starting at the count-in but muted until the riff starts, to get just the riff bars highlight them before dragging. If you need a video on MultiRiffs let me know. https://www.dropbox.com/s/885wybypwqwjl17/BB-EnergyXT.mp4?dl=0https://www.dropbox.com/s/885wybypwqwjl17/BB-EnergyXT.mp4?dl=1More > https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=461214#Post461214

Here's a guide for energyXT 2.6 This will allow you to generate up 7 MultiRiffs in BB64 (613 or higher) and BB32 2017 UP, it will play them in sync to your other BB tracks allowing you to choose the best riff/section. To use energyXT2.6 in BB64/32 you need JBridge To use in BB64, in the Mixer select the Plugins Tab then click the Audio+ bottom right of the Mixer, click [None] at the top click Plugin drop down, at the bottom select 'Add VST Plugin...' > energyXT2 VST.dll (this is an Effects plugin, energyXT2 VSTi.dll is an instrument plugin for a midi track) in your JBridge settings (at the bottom of the VST window that will come up when using a 32bit VST) set the plugin to open in new GUI then unload the VST, now load it back in. To use in BB32 2017 Up you will also need http://jstuff.wordpress.com/pluginflipflop/ in the Mixer select the Plugins Tab then click the Audio+ bottom right of the Mixer, click [None] at the top click Plugin drop down, at the bottom select 'Add VST Plugin...' > 32bit PluginFlipFlopFX.dll click 'Load new' > energyXT2 VST.dll (this is an Effects plugin, the energyXT2 VSTi.dll is an instrument plugin for a midi track that can be used with PluginFlipFlopSynth.dll) You can read all these instructs or just watch the video below. *Make sure the energyXT Play button is on before playing BB ! The quickest way to get the BB song tracks into energyXT before multiriffing is Audio > Export Song as Audio file > (also check One File Per Track) now drag all the tracks (except master mix) from the folder that pops up into energyXT (make sure you hit the rewind button first and drag them hard to the left, you can also drag Midi or RealCharts in) After you have the song tracks out into the energyXT click track 1 and select the instrument you want to MultiRiff, type the RT number down in the filter now in the top left of the Picker select the next track and set it to the same RT, do the same for all 7, 'Close' the Picker select bar 1 > F5 set all tracks except Audio to 'Mute' select the bar where you want the MultiRiff to start F5 set all tracks except Audio to 'Back to Normal', select the bar where you want the MultiRiff to end F5 set all tracks except Audio to 'Mute'. You simply highlight the bars you want to preview with the riff starting a bit before the riff and ending just after then make sure the Play button is on in energyXT and press F10 in BB to loop the selected section of bars, using right click to solo the Audio track and Riff 1 then un-solo Riff 1 and solo Riff 2 and so on. If there is a couple of riffs you like but want more just freeze those tracks and hit the >+ to re-generate the others. You can change the VST color to Light in the energyXT settings.
