I am on BIAB 2026 build 1220.
When using the style "_SUBSIDE.STY" after loading the demo song and performing an F4/Regenerate the following error message appears:
Cannot load drum style, because no files named xxxxxx_style.txt are found in R:\bb\Drums\FolkPopSlow16thsBrushes
Also of note - there is no waveform and no track playback heard in the "Drums" track.
I confirmed via Windows explorer that it's true, in that folder there is no such ".txt" file.
I also confirmed that there is no such file on the install media drive that was shipped to me.
Can someone who installed from 2026 physical media see if they get the same results?
Thanks in advance for any feedback on this.

Chris, When I loaded the demo for _SUBSIDE.STY, the FolkPopSlow16thsBrushes realdrums loaded and played okay. https://www.pgmusic.com/realtracks.all.php?os=winThese drums came with Realtracks Set 481 (part of the BIAB 2026 install). I suggest re-downloading this set from PG Music and installing it. That could solve the issue you are experiencing. --Noel

Yes, there are still a few 'holes' that need patching. I get similar results.
BIAB & RB2026 Win.(Audiophile), Windows 10 Pro & Windows 11, Cakewalk Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Session Keys Grand S & Electric R, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M, Pioneer Active Monitors.

Interesting. The plot thickens. The drums definitely generate for me. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32137&filename=Realdrums in _subside style.jpg) Have you checked with Install Manager to see if there is a new version of Set 481? I've been keeping an eye on the sets and if there is an updated set, I download it and re-install it. I don't know if that explains why I have fully operation drums or not, but it is worth having a look at.

II get a similar result with _DITCHED.STY. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32138&filename=Realdrums in _ditched style.jpg) I notice that this style is from May 2022 and is found in Xtra PAK 13. Drums seem to have arrived through Realtracks Set 262 which looks like it was released with BIAB 2017. This was a drums-only set. https://www.pgmusic.com/realtracks.all.php?os=win&max=288&min=239#list-top

This is really, strange, MoultiPass. I have both the flac and wma files. I've sorted the folder by file type (wma at the top, flac at the bottom, txt in the middle). The only *.txt file in the folder is StemInfo.txt... The link below is to this StemInfo.txt file. The flac files were added by downloading the same ones that you downloaded (using the upgrade). The wma files and the StemInfo.txt file have the same dates, this suggests that they arrived together during the beta testing. So it's possible that the StemInfo.txt file was installed as part of the beta testing process. I'll leave a message for the developers so that they can read through this thread. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5z0v6erhi4yod1lqmij6b/StemInfo.txt?rlkey=rf464tfa95ievzg19cm7cdsq3&dl=0![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32144&filename=folkpopslow16thsBrushes.jpg)

You may not be missing these tracks. The issue may be specific to demos.
To test the Style you can try these steps:
Load a Style
Type S9 into any measure on the Chord Sheet and enter
This loads the demo SGU Style and demo Chords
Generate and play
If nothing is missing from the style, it should generate and play without creating errors. If errors are created, then items are missing or in the wrong location on your system. I tested all of the styles listed in this thread and all load and generate without any errors on my system.
Hopefully this will save you from having to download and reinstall anything.

Sorry it didn't help. At least now you know it's with your download and eliminated the demo itself.
