Hi Andrew - thanks for your continuing support - hope this is enough detail - if not I'm happy to arrange a remote session with you guys at a mutually convenient point and you can see this for yourselves. I have raised a support ticket on this subject so you have my contact details (Saturday 10th October).

So in this case, whilst trying to list more explicit instructions, it crashed before I could even generate anything - this is all I did:-

FIRST ATTEMPT
1) Open Cubase
2) Click "Create Empty"
3) Open VST Instruments
4) Drag BIAB Plugin to Empty Track (BIAB Editor window opens)
5) In BIAB Editor, click the blue Select a Style ...
6) Choose a style by highlighting it
7) Click Load Song Demo
8) EVERYTHING DISAPEARED back to the desktop and CUBASE/BIAB has crashed out (no longer in task manager)

SECOND ATTEMPT
1) Open Cubase - bypass crash error window and start normally
2) Click "Create Empty"
3) Open VST Instruments
4) Drag BIAB Plugin to Empty Track (BIAB Editor window opens)
5) In BIAB Editor, click the blue Select a Style ...
6) Choose a style by highlighting it
7) Click Load Song Demo - THIS TIME IT WORKED
8) Click Generate - WORKED
9) Drag Style Mix ALL purple button to empty tracks in Cubase > copy as different tracks - WORKED
10) Play to test - WORKED (with chords highlighted in BIAB Editor Window)
11) Stop Playback
12) In BIAB Editor, click the blue Select a Style ...
13) Choose a style by highlighting it
14) Click Load Song Demo
15) THIS TIME Style Window disappears but Cubase HANGS (and the BIAB Editor Window does not come back) - Cubase is frozen Irrecoverably (NOT RESPONDING) but still using some CPU resource

NOTE at point 15) this will sometimes crash back to desktop with Cubase and BIAB terminated as in the first attempt.

It does seem to be random - on ONE occasion, I managed to perform 12) to 15) more than once before it crashed, but it's unpredictable.

EDIT : On restarting Cubase after 15) above - I normally see something about an error in ...\Cubase 10.5\Components\baios.dll but this does vary.

P.
