I have exactly the same problem. I have a Yamaha SW1000 which has all my midi voices on the on-board the sound card. Whenever I want to render the RT to an audio track I have to go through the process of picking a Dxi or VST Midi Driver in order to render the file. Once this is done, I have to go, yet again, back into the options and remove the Dxi or VST Midi Driver in order to use my on board sound card.

As a bluegrass musician, I posted earlier about the inability to render the sound of a banjo by using Forte, Virtual Sound Canvas or any other of the 4-5 software synths I have tried over the years. None of them even come remotely close to what I can achieve by using the SW1000. The only SW Synth that can match the SW1000 and its built-in XG sounds is the Yamaha S-YXG50 Soft Synth or the Yamaha S-YXG50 VST Plugin, both of which can cause latency problems like any other piece of software; not to mention the problems in Windows 7. BTW, both of these products were discontinued by Yamaha years ago.

So the main complaint is that we have jump through another hoop each time to render a song to a Wave file by having to invoke a Dxi or VST that I do not want to use and have no care to use at all.

I would not say that my upgrade was 'down the tubes' at all. What BIAB has achieved in its evolution is nothing less then amazing, especially if you remember what it used to be like back the days of DOS and Floppy Disks!

This is just another minor bug the I am sure PG Music will fix down the road.
