Again, thanks to all ... the response is great!

@ G Curran ... ahhhh, no, I'm not reinstalling windows. I have about 7 audio programs up and running and playing nice as well as the Motu Timepiece working perfect with as well as the Emu X2Midi for 13 total external midi channels ... with nary another hardware or software glitch.

@ZeroZero ... well, I assumed any 16 voice multitimbral VSTi (that shows up and gets accepted by BIAB in the dialogs) would work.

What I want to do is use the VSTi for playing Karoke *.kar files ... as opposed to the CD and G karaoke files. BIAB should work fine as a karaoke player for those ... if my other issues are resolved. I've also go vanBasco's karaoke player, but that will only run the microsoft gs ... and I'd like better sounds. This is not why I bought 2010 ... I did that for the plugin capacity for my studio.

@ P Warren ... now that's a great 'heads up.' I'm very familiar with ASIO4All ... so we'll D/Ld it and see if that works.

It's 3pm PCT ... and I just now have some time to get into it. Let you know how things work out.
