Sforzando instruments location Tano Music Yesterday at 01:48 PM Forum: Other PG Music Programs Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Anyone tell me where BIAB usually installs the Sforz instrument libraries? I reinstalled on new HW and I may be missing these.. the VST3 function loads Sforz, but then it doesn’t see any instruments. Thx.

EZDrummer Keys Bass to PG SFZ musocity 02/08/25 03:20 AM Forum: Post your own Tips and Tricks here Jump to new postsJump to new posts
You are still not allowed to chain a VSTi after a VST or VSTi in Biab though it was asked for years n years so you need to use Element VST this will allow you to do modern routing and use either VST2 or VST3 in it, plugins can be easily added with a simple right click, or drag n drop from folder (if Biab is not running as administrator) If you load the EZDrummer VST then after it put the Sforzando VST with a RealDrums SFZ turn the volume down on EZDrummer and set it to Midi Out. Element VST element-win64 element-osx [Linked Image] This is the hook up guide, just drag from orange or green points to connect and drag cable to dissconnect, make sure you have the EXT sync enabled in top left, if you right click the VST and Save Group it will all load each time without having to set it all up again. You can do the same with EZKeys EZBass, even use them for Playable RealTracks sections: [Linked Image] [Linked Image]

Fine Tune Holds Adjustments musocity 02/06/25 10:07 AM Forum: Post your own Tips and Tricks here Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Holds are recorded over 4 bars, a Hold will stop where the next chord is entered so if you enter the next chord on the 5th bar it should ring out over 4 bars. If you look in the RealTrack folder for the Holds folder and drop one in your DAW set to 80bpm you will see how they work. Also if you go into Tracks View and enable the Riff Edit button you can adjust the length of the Hold (or push) and right click it to adjust volume. There is no Fade adjustment yet for the clips so if you want a quick fade use the volume automation. You can enable Snap. They are in X:\bb\RealTracks\Library\Holds and X:\bb\RealTracks\Direct Input\Library\Holds [Linked Image]
