The site doesn't seem to offer too much by way of explanation. I'm still a bit in the dark.

Could you please create a short BIAB file that has a recorded melody (on either the Melody track or Soloist track). It doesn't have to be anything great musically. Save the file as MGU and then upload it in Dropbox (or equivalent). If you could then post the Dropbox share link here in the thread, we'll be able to download the file and test it with our systems.

I suspect that this explains why you don't have a separate midi volume slider. When the VSTi/DXi option is disengaged, assuming that your soundcard has midi capability, the soundcard should play the midi rather than the Coyote WT softsynth.

A couple of questions spring to mind...

1. What is your sound card?

2. Have you downloaded a midi file from the internet and does it play ok?

Something strange is definitely happening.

1. Is your \bb directory excluded from your antivirus checking?

2. Have you tried right-clicking on the BIAB shortcut and selecting "Run as administrator" to see if that makes a difference?

BIAB usually runs confidently with MME although it will add latency.

When trying to solve problems, it is always advisable to use MME to track down the issue and then engage ASIO when the issue has been solved (that's my experience, at least).

In the meantime, and as already mentioned, in an effort to try and solve this problem, it would be great if you can post a songfile that has a midi recorded melody for us all to try.
