I don’t use VSTi instruments in BIAB, only in a DAW, but I thought I recognized what was being said here because I’ve experienced it in a DAW. I had one piccolo trumpet that would not quite go as high as it is possible to play, for example the top note of Penny Lane.

Of course in a DAW you can edit the offending notes and change their register or delete them as needed, but in my example this wouldn’t give a good result without that top note.

Other than editing the MIDI tracks in BIAB and freezing the tracks, I don’t know how to limit the playable range. There is a setting for the lowest note of the bass track, but that’s it, and no limiter on the upper range.

I wonder if this problem is widespread? How many people have a VSTi with serious range limits? Is it enough to warrant a Wishlist request to add range limits for each track in BIAB?
