Hi Jon,

Welcome to the forums.

You mention BIAB 2021, is this correct or is it the latest version, BIAB 2022?

Also, did you buy this directly from PG Music? If so, there would have been activation information with your purchase. This may have come in an email. Both Realband and Band In A Box need to be activated after they have been installed.

Out of curiosity, did you install the programs to your computer's hard drive?

Virtual Sound Canvas has not worked with BIAB for many years now. Coyote WT is what PG Music replaced it with. If you go to the link below, Peter Gannon talks about Cakewalk and how to install the freely available VSTi/DXi softsynth, TTS-1. I recommend getting this as it will give you another option for MIDI sounds.

With sforzando, it is not a General MIDI sythesiser (like Coyote WT and TTS-1). This can only be used for single instruments.

Regards,
Noel
