The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal".
Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.

Well you got 7 responses so far though the PG forum has been pretty dead for some time, if it was a Reaper forum there would be 100's of responses.
Can you start a thread that users can post their issues, you go first.

Dan, this might get much better attention in the Off-Topic forum. I don't normally ever visit this particular forum page, as I don't use the VST plug in. I only stumbled upon it here by accident.

Survey is officially Closed. The findings, combined with some private messages, support the initial hypothesis. But, I will let you drawn your own conclusions.

What is the initial hypothesis? It's not stated anywhere in the thread.

What I found was that out of 9 responses, 4 people use it, 5 don't use the VST at all (more than half), and only one gave it a definite 'Works Fine'.

Maybe do a survey down the local shopping mall or out on the street, there maybe more users there ?
I think because of the many issue most users don't bother with it if you can simply drag the tracks from the main Biab app into your DAW.
I have been trying very hard to get it made into an all in one, instant generate, play direct EZBBvst but it's very slow as it still relies on the old BBW4 running in the background that takes ages to get programmed for the JUCE vst.
THIS IS THE MAIN ISSUE WITH THE PLUGIN
am I wrong ?
EZDrummer was released and just worked from the get go.
EZD just has a single app.exe standalone or a vst.dll that accesses the Midi Drums library on the hard drive.
