BUT, the test-version DID work first time I open it... Then clicking a wrong place made a failure box come up, and then it gave no sound.. Then I shut down BiaB and open it again. Then BiaB said; Cannot contact this VST.. SO I restarted my computer and tried again. Then biab said;

So, IO reported it to Kenneth by email, and he said; Exactly which preset arrow did you click? I have had Kontakt working through VSTSynthFont64 in Cubase, so I wonder.=-O
Here is a slightly improved version:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/z4cwh8g97dmdrw3/VSTSynthFont64-3420B.rar?dl=0

Works perfectly well in REAPER 6.03 (64 bit) as well.

I am not user about how important this feature is, so if we continue to run into difficulties I will have to drop it for now as I have some other more pressing issues at hand.

Cheers
Kenneth

SO, shall we let him know how important this is? Should not PG music give him a free BiaB to test it for us BiaB users?

But ok, maybe I am the only one see it as important?

Man that was quick, can you ask if he wants to work for PG.
I just loaded the 64 bit version, loaded RealStrat, clicked on Prg number:

Kenneth of SF is a very dedicated man. He definitely should have a copy of BIAB for testing. I do not believe that there is anything similar to his VST. All other "similar" vst's that support GM midi + Program changes are not remotely close. I spoke to a couple of developers of similar software before Kenneth and they told me that their VST's will remain in "legacy" state and any kind of updates/fixes are not planned.

Why I am writing this? If you find bugs in it, please write to Kenneth, I am sure he will try to address them.

Pipeline, for that task, to do it right, you would need 2-3 Keeneths (so they have some rotation for sleeping/resting needs) and 1 Noel.

...sucks we can't just clone 'em.

Haha, are u underestimating Pipeline _ He seems to be on here 24/7 and sometimes on speed...;) But hey, I am bowing down in deep respect for Kenneth and his dedication to entertain his customers and does extremely quick fixes to all kind of request from customers...

It is a test version, he said.. But if u make it work, I don't think it is any time limitation. Kenneth said he was not sure of the need for implementing the VSTi feature, as he put it;

"The reason why I can't see the need for this feature is that in all DAWs I know you can have many tracks and separate VST Instruments for each of them - as many as PC memory allows. So, you can have VSTSynthfont in one (or a few) track and Kontakt in others."

And, as I said, it crashed in BiaB for me. Kenneth have this DAW's to test it in, as he wrote;

"My test bench includes Cubase, Cakewalk, Reaper, Mixcraft, Traktion, Magix - and of course my own SynthFont2. But no, not BiaB - for no particular reason!

Just a reminder - when you test this new feature, remember that you always have to manually load any preset or program setup when loading the VST, as this cannot be saved within VSTSynthfont."

So, we can't expect him to BUY a version of BiaB to test it in, can we?

EDIT: you can open the the vst window while playing so this might be okay.

Quote:
Just trying other VSTi's
EZKeys, EZDrummer no sound
Sforzando working but not bringing up the instrument panel and controls in Sforzando

They need a volume control for the VSTi's audio out, don't know if you can make SynthFont's track volume slider adjust the volume out level ?

Quote:
Also Ctrl+click to solo more than one track at a time would be helpful.
EDIT: and the mute solo don't work on the VSTi

Quote:

When you choose a VSTi like RealGuitar there is no sound until I open the GUI then it loads the samples, maybe it could open the GUI directly after loading ?
Now if I change back to the default soundfont it stills plays the VSTi.

Trygve, just give him the data of your BIAB account, so he can download the program and install it, as PG music allows three installs in different computers at the same time.

Problem solved!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
