When I use this style. I will hear other voices. If you close the bottom synth pad, it will disappear. But the synth pad is also gone. Is this related to midi? Did I set it wrong?
That track is a RealTrack, so it is not related to MIDI in any way. The instrument is a Synth Pad, so it will sound like a slow strings accompaniment. Is that what you hear?
When you mention 'close the bottom synth pad' I presume you are setting that track to Mute? Could that be correct?
Are there any other tracks that aren't visible, like Utility Tracks that are out of view in the mixer?
When I played, I clicked SOLO, but there was a piano sound? OK, I suspect what is happening is that you have saved the MIDI data to another track somewhere, and it is set to Piano.
Click the 'eye' icon in the mixer (see arrow 1), and select Show All. Then Mute everything that is a 'Utility' track (see arrow 2). Regenerate the song. See if the Piano still sounds.
You also may have created a MIDI audio track with the same file name. I suspect you have been experimenting with many things, yes?
Also, look in the same folder that the BiaB song is saved in. Do you see any other file with the same name as the name of your song file, but the file extension is a WAV or other audio type (not .SGU, MGU etc)?
The piano sound comes from the synth pad. Not from anywhere else. It is the area in the yellow circle in the picture above me. Every time I send a question, I am very careful. I have described the situation in detail above.

I very often have a similar problem to this with with the drum track. I get both the RealDrums and a MIDI drums. For me I just hear a slightly doubled drums from the second note of the count-in onwards and I've learned to just ignore it, but SBM obviously can't ignore what he has. For me it also goes away if I turn off MIDI.
I'd had thought that perhaps it was a problem only with my system, but now I think it may be more common and I think it is very likely a bug.
A work-around might be to set the MIDI instrument to "Select MIDI Instrument (patch) -> "Select no MIDI Patch".
I have not yet tried that work-around as my machine is not presently having the problem. Possibly this happens only with some styles/RealTracks? I may explore further.

I loaded this style and when I solo the Utility track it sounds fine. No piano playing just the synth pad. Have you tried to return to factory settings?

Yes, I agree. You may recall that I asked could you upload the song file. In response you produced a video, which may also be helpful, but is different from the song file and doesn't allow any analysis.

I just looked at it. The synth pad track is indeed set in this option by default. "Select MIDI Instrument (patch) -> "Select no MIDI Patch"
But the problem remains. This problem is very common. I don't want to disable MIDI by resetting it, because if I disable MIDI, then when I click "enter+shift" on the BAR, there will be no sound.

I restored my exit settings. But there are still problems. Do you set no MIDI output? If so, there is no piano. But when you click "ENTER+SHIFT" on BAR, you cannot play chords. You try.

i forgot. I have already made a video about this post, which is on it.
I hope we can focus our discussion on this issue. I mainly heard a piano sound, but I didn't know how to close it. I just returned to factory mode.
I've had this problem, assuming it's the same thing we're talking about here. It's real and possibly a bug. I never reported it because I never quite figured out how to reproduce it 100% - plus I found a workaround which unfortunately I can't remember. I'll have a play around and see if I can trigger any memories.

It turns out that you have met. In this way, I can rest assured. BIAB will definitely solve the problem.

What document are you talking about? Video? I have published it on it. Or are you talking about SUG files? It has nothing to do with this. You can enter a chord at random and open this style.
I reported - there is NO PROBLEM with "_TURNAWY.STY.Turn Away Alternate 8ths Ballad"! The folks here in the forum have asked for the .SGU file 3 - 4 times now. We Can't help if you don't understand us.

Thanks for your reply.
yes. I replied to you on it. You didn't have this problem. Maybe you didn't set MIDI OUT. If you press ENTER+SHIFT on BAR, will a sound appear? I also send you the documents you need now, but I think this problem has nothing to do with this document.

Let me say the question again. This is when I set MIDU OUTPUT. Then, some styles will have an additional piano sound. When I unset MIDI OUTPUT. Then the extra piano sound disappears. However, if MIDI OUTPUT is unset, there will be no sound when I press ENTER+SHIFT. However, I often use ENTER+SHIFT on BAR.
