I thought this might be a useful thread to assist those experiencing frustrations with those VST's that either are or are not working. So allow me to make a start. NOT WORKING - InstrumentsOmnisphere Toontrack Halion Groove Agent WORKING - InstrumentsKontakt That's as far as I have got so far. https://www.reverbnation.com/control_room/artist/168894/songshttps://soundcloud.com/you/tracks

FYI:
64bit Adobe Audition will not recognize the 64bit VST
All my other VST's are recognized and can be used in Audition, but not the new one from BIAB.

Maybe I need to clarify. I am referring to the option in 64 bit BB and loading vst 64 bit instruments and effects, to use with midi tracks.
The problem is not many instruments are loading and some are crashing BB.

Good but disappointing news, Mal.
I was looking forward to use Halion and Omnisphere - Halion was designed to be GM ready so I am surprised it doesn't work.
Well... maybe the 2020 version of BiaB will be better.

I wonder what 64 bit instruments the beta-testers have been using when testing the new version.

Would love to use Vocaloid in BB but vst will not load.
Anyone know of a workaround?
There are so many vst instruments that just wont load.

Hey Mal, I've thought of a (possible) workaround, but I can't test it out because the plugins you reference as not working are all paid, and the last thing I need is to spend more money for plugins (unless they are free,lol) and I don't want to clutter up my drive with trial versions either. I'm burning with curiously as to whether IL's MiniHost (which runs fine) can host these plugins you mention as a sort of workaround. Check out my vid here on how to locate the plugin and for a link to download it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WexjietWWhcPlease do update us!

Actually it just tried to load but BB just crashed as usual.
'bbw64 is not responding'
...... it works great in Cubase.
I'll look at minihost.

Also just tried to use Superior Drummer. That was 20 mins ago ..... it is still trying.
Loads straight away in DAW.
I think i'll submit a query to BB shortly.

Don't forget to hit the "register" button under "options" (or is it "preferences"?)... it will do all the work for you automatically! The whole process should take under a minute. :-)

It's stable DeaconBlues09.
Impressed, I now can use other vst instruments that failed but as far as Vocaloid goes ,I just get the message
'You can't use a VOCALOID 5 VST/AU since another VOCALOID Editor VST/AU is already running'
It's a pity because recent improvements in Vocaloid now make it a good temporary vocal when composing.

It's a pity because recent improvements in Vocaloid now make it a good temporary vocal when composing. Maybe you have another instance running, and Vocaloid does not allow this? Check your task manager, and failing that maybe try rebooting (couldn't hurt...)

Hate to suggest this Mal but have you tried loading those VST's in BB32 using Jbridge? (Ducking and running for cover...)
Btw, SampleTank 3 loads fine in BB64 and so does my Cakewalk TTS-1 and 64 bit effects.

I've had better results with ensuring 'run as administrator' Bob but that's going to prove tedious. Even used Halion 6 last night.
The whole point for me is being able to use BB 64 bit with multiple VST instruments when using midi. This means stretching to the limit and using memory. I have all that, but as you know this poses a problem in 32 bit.
I am looking forward to using all VST in BB whilst composing from midi, even using Vocaloid, which is very convincing now. Then taking the audio over to my DAW and mastering there, commiting to my own vocal and using some multi riffs as embellishment maybe.

OH WOW !!!!
Latest update has fixed VST issue in BB. Well for me at least. Some VSTplugins are still glitchy but ezdrummer and many others are working now.
Thank you PG ..... YOU WORK SO HARD AND FAST TO FIX ISSUES.
Have a wonderful Christmas all.
