Hi Tony,

Here is what I'd try to see if it helps me isolate the problem.

(Before doing this, I suggest saving your current setup. This is done with "Options/Save Preferences".)

1. Close BIAB and unplug any USB music connections from the computer (not just from the instrument).

2. Open BIAB.

3. Reset to factory defaults under the Options menu. (I use "Most" in the first instance and if that doesn't work, I use "All".)

4. Exit BIAB to save the new set up and restart BIAB. Leave the USB music connections unplugged.

5. Under Opt/Preferences, set the "Pause playback until MIDI or key received".

6. Load a song, press PLAY and then click on a QWERTY key and see if the song starts generating. (This "Pause playback" option works with QWERTY keys as well. When I do this, the letter I press appears in the chordsheet but it is not part of the generation. I don't know if this is normal behaviour or not.)

Does this work properly? If so, then...

7. Exit BIAB.

8. Plug the USB music connections back into the computer and start BIAB.

9. Check under "Preferences/MIDI Diver" that the correct input driver is selected.

9. Load a song and see if a MIDI key from your Roland will start playback.

How did this go?

Regards,
--Noel
