I insert the VSTi or VST3i into Reaper
I load a style successfully
I enter some chords
I generate the tracks successfully
I click Select and then choose "Select a Multiriff..."
I choose a RealTrack for the multiriff and click OK
Nothing appears to happen...
I click Custom...and click All Riffs under Multi Riff Generation
Nothing ever happens...

This has worked (not worked) that way in any version I have tried including the latest 607. And it doesn't work in the stand-alone nor the VST.

I've just started exploring the VST plugin. "Generate > "Multi Riff generation" is not available (not clickable) on my system.

Am I doing something wrong?

Cerio, in typical PGM fashion, they have chosen to use menus in a way that is odd! You would click "All Riffs" under the "--- Multi Riff Generator" but you're not missing anything because, while that is clickable, it doesn't work.

To generate multiriffs you start with select then multiriff then wait for menu then select RT then it fails

Ok, but as I said, "Select > Multiriff" is not clickable for some reason.

Yes, I'm having the same result you reported above, click on "All riffs" does nothing.

As I sit on the fence I have a couple observations which may help.

It is one of three things

1) Operator error crazy
2) Wait for the next patch cry
3) No one else is having this issue, so it must be your system. whistle

Yes, I've used BIAB for years and I've never found any bug, so it must be that. grin

Watching the tutorial is shows that first after you pick a style and generate the Real Tracks, you next from the select menu tab chose multiriff and that opens the RT picker, choose the RT you want and click ok. That is where mine goes south nothing generates. I have allowed up to 15 minutes. At that point multiriff is grayed out.

I did figure out that you click all riffs to generate.

I actually have got it to work but only for short songs and nothing over 6 bars of riff

I'm having the same issues, but in Cubase. No solo me-oh.

The plug-in was the major reason I upgraded to BIAB 2019.

And actually I should point out that the I can't use the plug-in to generate ANY audio. It's not just the multiriff that doesn't work.
