I'm very impressed with the capability of the latest version of this plugin. One of the ways in which the documentation says it can be used is to simply keep the song and style in the plugin and then sync with the host.
This certainly works well when my host is Ableton. However, having save my Ableton project that contained the plugin already loaded with a song and style; I was expecting the song and style to be available in the plugin when I opened up my Ableton project.
Can anyone clarify this for me please?

Thanks

I have never used Ableton mostly I use Studio one, and Logic X. In both of those I can save the file and the plugin retains its tracks and setup.

Usually you have to reopen the plugin when the song file is reopened after it is closed.

In studio one you click the instrument icon on the instrument track containing the BiaB plugin. In Logic I click the instrument in the instrument track info pane.

Actually there's another bug related to Save state also on macOS ( Ableton 11 ) - where if one opens up an Ableton project that contains a BIAB plugin instance, the state loads but then if one tries to load a different BIAB song into the plugin nothing happens.

For example if one tries to make an Ableton template with the plugin and then create a new project using the template, any attempt to load a BIAB song will fail.
