Problem is it can take some time to get anyone to respond to these issues. I follow the VST forum pretty close but I am a Reaper guy. So can't give any advice other then to help bump your message.

Have you looked here? It may be helpful if you have not seen this.

The thread heading indicates you are presently using the VST3 plugin. Have you tried using the equivalent 64 bit VST2 Band-in-a-Box plugin? Steinberg suggests trying the VST2 equivalent whenever a VST3 does not operate as expected.

In other forums I visit I've read that Steinberg's VST3 standard leaves plenty of room for interpretation. So while a function is present there are several ways to implement functions. When the way a program implements a function doesn't match the way a VST3 implements the same function then there will be an issue.

Thank you Szzoli! What is the name of the SGU file you are trying to open? Can you send me the SGU file by email (aguy@pgmusic.com)? There is a problem opening song files in the plugin that contain grave/acute accents in the file name. We are aware of this issue and are working to fix it, but perhaps that was the problem in your song tile? If you can provide me with the SGU file then it will help me understand better what the underlying issue is here. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
