Like John said, Halion Sonic VST3, as well as my Montage M VST3 GM mode (the Yamaha Montage M, mine's an M 7, series of synths gives you the complete Montage M synth soundsets as a VST3 synth plugin - which, when coupled with the HW synth gives me overkill of 32 channels plus all that extra polyphony.

John - glad you also noticed the issue with 64-bit TTS-1 - I had to run both BIAB 2025 and 2026 (renaming the folders back and forth) to confirm it works in 2025. In 2026 TTS-1 either 1) comes up, shows notes being played in the poly count in the right-hand TTS-1 window, but there is no sound forthcoming, or 2) TTS-1 comes up and immediately 2026 crashes to the desktop when I hit play. BTW PG does say they are working this issue.

Actually, I called up a few other VSTi synths in 2026 and got the same issue (crash to desktop as soon as I hit play) but then using 2025 with the same plugin, same song, same everything (it's on the same drive, in the same computer, using the same ASIO HW audio I/O, etc.) but zero issues- no crashes to desktop. (I'm still looking at logs and other things to see if it IS ME somehow).

PS: I screwed up the display on my regular Montage 7 (dumb accident) and while waiting for parts to replace my touch screen, I do all my own maintenance, I just bought a Montage M 7 - so now I have essentially 3 Montages: the original 7, the M7 and now the VSTi of the M - LOL, plus all my other HW synths and most commercial plugins.

PPS - I know folks wanted a "modern" interface and a lot here seem to like it now (although what they'll whine about now only He knows), but for me, with 35 years (BIAB DOS V2 '90) of using BIAB, all that mouse muscle memory is now gone! I hate having to relearn where stuff is and hunt it down. Yes, I'm old and one of those 2A "get off my lawn" guys.
