Thanks...

>>>Are you trying to add a VST3 plugin to an audio track or a MIDI track?
I understand this difference, VST3 instrument to a MIDI track.

>>>Keep in mind that in BIAB
>>>Audio tracks only support FX plugins.
>>>MIDI tracks only support instrument plugins.
All of the other tools I use with VST support separate Instruments and Effects into different lists.

I have basically 3 Instruments I'd like to use in BIAB. NI-Kontact, Steinberg-Halion and The Grand. Halion, Steinbergs flagship
Instrument has 3 versions., Halion Sonic SE, Halion Sonic, and Halion Sonic 7. None work for me.
Attached is a list of my VST3 directory....

Since the BIAB scanner can be directed to the individual .vst3 files or directories this is easy. I had tried this extensively
before posting. I can get NI-Kontact8 to work in this manner. Other NI Instruments never show up in the list. The Grand 3,
( a great sampled Piano I'm very used to.) will load into the list but crashes BIAB when chosen. It does flash the plugin GUI for a
second first. Some other Steinberg plugins will show up in the list but crash BIAB when chosen. Halion Sonic SE will show up
in the list and display the GUI when chosen but crashes before an instrument can be chosen.
