I choose a RealTrack for the multiriff and click OK Nothing appears to happen... I click Custom...and click All Riffs under Multi Riff Generation Nothing ever happens... This has worked (not worked) that way in any version I have tried including the latest 607. And it doesn't work in the stand-alone nor the VST.

It is one of three things 1) Operator error 2) Wait for the next patch 3) No one else is having this issue, so it must be your system.

That is where mine goes south nothing generates. I have allowed up to 15 minutes. At that point multiriff is grayed out. Last edited by RobH; 12/22/18 08:12 AM.

I actually have got it to work but only for short songs and nothing over 6 bars of riff HP Win 11 12 gig ram, Mac mini Sonoma with 16 gig of ram, BiaB 2025, Realband, Reaper 7, Harrison Mixbus 9 32c , Melodyne 5 editor, Presonus Audiobox 1818VSL, Presonus control app.
