I used JBridge to access 64-bit plugins while I had BIAB 2018 (520), and it worked. Yesterday, I did the update to 2019 (610)

BIAB(64-bit) opened fine, and allowed me to load a .MGU song I created under 2018 using C_EAGLES.STY, and play it back, using 4 MIDI tracks, and one RealTrack. Under BIAB(32-bit) however, I got the following error 3 times as I opened the file:

JBridge 1.75
File not found, is C the correct path?

If you moved or deleted the original plugin you will need to re-create or delete it bridging file.


The song did play back, although the MIDI instruments were much quieter. Looking at my config in both programs, I noticed that I had to add VSTi's to the 64-bit version, and it accepted them as they were added.

But in the 32-bit version...... all of the plugins that I had previously added from 2018 were listed, but could not be chosen.
The only Default Synth that works is CoyoteWT. Selecting any of the plugins in that list, generated the exact same message as above. So, I tried to manually add those VSTi's ---- same error as above, but now with a second message:

Sorry, Band-in-a-Box can not make connection with <name of the plugin>

Any ideas on how to straighten this out? It was all working in the 2018 version, all I did was the update.

Hi,

I face exactly the same problems with JBridge. Also if you try to safe your (changed) work in BB 64bits, I receive a message that I had an 'Access violation in module Riched20.dll'. Most of the times this chrash leads to a frozen programm only to be ended with ctrl-alt-delete. And if BB safes a song, all the lyrics are gone. I didn't have that issue before installing update 610. You have that problem too?

Yesterday I talked a long time with Support and afterwards they mailed that update 611 must solve JBridge-problems. I hope they can solve the saving-problems as well, although I heard I have the only two computers in the world with this kind of problems.... I'm convinced that was a joke.

Blake,
I guess I should reply some additional info specifically to you, about this issue.

I notice that in RealBand 2019 (2) JBridge appears functioning correctly. 64-bit VSTi's are working.

On VSTSynthFont64, the plugin loads, and works, but there's a message displayed at the bottom, right above JBridge:

9 days left of you 15 days trial period plus a button to "Enter or purchase registration code".

Will this also be addressed in the 611 update you referred to? Is there a code that we need to enter?

smile laugh Nice work guys!! The 611 update resolved the errors, I was able to load my .MGU file without problem.

I simply updated the program, I didn't change anything else, and the song loaded immediately.
Thanks for your response!!

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
