I'm using style -TekSl0+ in one of my songs. When I now try to use it in another song I get an error message "C\bb\Drums\Visceral pop ballad [Multi]" does not exist. How can I repair this? Thanks!
Go to the Support - Chat-PG and ask about MutiStyles. This is on the top of my list of things in BIAB which I have no idea how they work! I am afraid the list just keeps getting bigger. But there is one user who has these figured out and he may pop in with a better answer to your question.
When I load the style you mentioned, I get the following instruments and drums.
Style is -TEKSL0+.STY (Slow and Low - Hip Hop) Style MIDI Instruments are : Acoustic String Bass (33), 28/1 Electric Guitar (detuned clean), GM2 Bank 1, Pad-Warm (Slow) (90), Synth Strings 1 (51), RealDrums in style:TechnoSlow^AB-a:BigBeat, b:Mnml
The Realdrums used for it are "TechnoSlow^AB"
==========
When I enter the phrase "Visceral Pop Ballad [Multi]" into the Stylepicker filters, I get the below style...
Style is _PIANOLN.STY (Piano Lane Visceral Pop Ballad)
RealTracks in style: 1536:Bass, Electric, PopBelieve Ev16 065 RealTracks in style: 892:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment PopLiverpool Ev 065 (A-simple) RealTracks in style: 1543:Synth Pad, PopBelieve Ev16 065 RealTracks in style: 893:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment PopLiverpool Ev 065 (B-energetic) RealDrums in style:Visceral pop ballad [Multi]
Interestingly, the drums are listed as "Visceral pop ballad [Multi]" but I cannot find those multi-drums in the Realdrum picker. I haven't yet worked out why that is the case. (I've reported this unusual behaviour to the developers.) That said, I can easily enter into the Multi drum editor and recreate this set of multi drums manually.
Thank you for your helpful support. I think this happend after I tried to define substyles c and d. And thanks for the hint to the Multi Drum Editor. I think I will have to dive a bit deeper in it. Best regards

This isn't a MultiStyle, it's a style with MultiDrums. Very different things.

MultiStyles are one of the easiest things! Simply choose one from the StylePicker, then use part markers. MultiStyles can have more than the standard A and B substyle - that's the only difference.

Indeed, the style -TekSlO+ does not use the "Visceral" RealDrums. And in fact there are no such RealDrums at all! More on that below...

MultiDrums are only saved into a Style - they're not something that can be found in the RealDrums picker or anywhere else. The name "Visceral pop ballad [Multi]" comes from the title entered in the MultiDrums window. This means that MultiDrums are unique to the style or song where they were created!
Now, for the original problem here - I suspect that when Raezz was starting the song they may have used the _PIANOLN style before switching to -TEKSL0+, which could've got the MultiDrums from the first style stuck in the song. Best thing to do at this point is to copy as much as possible from the original song into a new blank song file starting with -TEKSL0+. If you're setting up C and D substyles again, avoid using styles that have MultiDrums as they like to take everything over.
Thanks for the added information. It seems that I have confused things. That said, when I search for "Multi" in Realdrums, there are definite drum tracks that are labelled "multi". When I load one of these multi-drums into BIAB, the BIAB track also says multi. This adds to my confusion and I'm not quite sure how to interpret this information.

My bad - it seems that in most cases MultiDrums don't show up in the RealDrums picker. I too am not sure how to interpret that, other than perhaps this was done as a time-saving measure for the dev team while making styles.
