Hi, it appears that BIAB can not change an acid loop when a mid-song marker is used to change the style.

So what I did is I brought in a style and I applied a loop to it. Then I saved the style with a name Test1 and tried bringing it back in and it worked (the style of the instruments was retained and the acid loop was also retained). Next I did the same thing with a different style and saved a different loop with it and saved it as test2. I read it back in and once again it brought in the correct real tracks and the correct loop. I did this back and forth switch a few times to verify it was in fact working. Note that both loops were set to repeat at the end of the marker.

However this failed.
I re-indexed the style picker so it would find the two new styles I created. I brought in Test1 with its loop and made sure that once again the correct acid loop was playing. Now I put in a marker and changed it to call the Test2 style. It worked in that it changed to the correct real tracks when the 2nd marker was hit but the loop did not change (it kept playing the loop that is associated with test1 rather than switch to the loop that is associated with test2).

I would say this is a bug if others can confirm this. The reason I am interested in getting this to work is so I can put in melodies with my own instrument as an acid loop and set the ending with a different style so I can have BIAB pick up the ending melody part. A variation would be for jazz tunes which have different chords for improvising and the melody-2 after improvising is different than the melody-1 before improvising. I would need to use a different acid loop each time.

Any thoughts or verification this is happening to others would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John
