I tried to install the Roland VSC DXi, but a message box popped up that had some kind of text like "unsupported_OS" if I recall.
I thought that weird, as the advertisement for 2010 BiaB states Windows 7 support (which is what my os is), but since I was going to use my Motif, I didn't pay it any attention. Now that I know that BiaB can't render via external synth's, and the Roland VSC-DXi soft synth isn't supported, I have no idea as to what to do!!!




Let me try to clarify this situation.

If you are using an external MIDI hardware synth, there is no way that the CPU has access to the sounds that external synth generates and thus no way for it to put them into your "Rendered" song.

On top of that, even if you did have the VSC DXi installed, your song would not sound the same as it would use the MIDI patches from the VSC and not the ones from your hardware MIDI synth.

The only way to get an audio file of what you are hearing from any hardware MIDI synth is to do it the old fashioned way: You must hook up the audio output L & R channels of that MIDI synth to the L & R channel Line inputs of your sound device, and record the performance from beginning to end.

This is not a fault of the program at all. It is the only way it can be done when a hardware MIDI synth is part of the equation.
