Once that generate code is moved to the BBPlugin it will be all done in the Plugin without bbw4. The Plugin won't have to wait inline for the Biab Delphi guys to fix/add something to bbw4 so the Plugin works again, it will be all in the BBPlugin, self contained.


But, instead of embracing your idea PG Music uses a bridge program to interface between the main Band-in-a-Box (BiaB) program and the plugin. Since PG Music also uses a bridge program to interface between the main BiaB program and RealBand I believe that action implies PG Music favors bridge programs.

Built-in plugin functionality may be the best way forward but it may not be and maybe that is why PG Music has chosen another direction. PG Music presently uses a bridge program to obtain functionality remotely. That is an undeniable fact.

You've presented your suggestion for built-in plugin functionality in multiple threads. You've continually improved the mock-ups that demonstrate your vision of how the functionality can work. The posts are out there for all to see.

Why not continue to offer suggestions about the current plugin? Numerous suggestions such as the track volume control and how the mute/solo buttons work have made a big difference in how the plugin operates. You, Jeff Pettit and Rob Helms have consistently been in the forefront as far as contributing error posts and suggestions regarding the plugin.

I can't see PG Music adopting built-in plugin functionality this year unless they make the switch when Band-in-a-Box for Mac is released. Maybe it's time to drop the idea for now and bring it up again when plugin version 6 is released.
