It would lock up every time I used it so I gave it another try, and this time it worked. 1. Entered 32 bars of chords, with 3 choruses. 2. Added a style with all RTs. hit generate. Took about 5 or 6 minutes 3. The drag went very smoothly. 4. Picked an individual track and right clicked generate. 1 minute boom new track. dragged into place. 5. Hit select and chose Multiriff chose a track, and 4 bars selected. Clicked custom and selected riffs. after about 3 minutes 7 tracks. Drag went smoothly 6. Hit select, chose another single track, right clicked the name bar. hit generate. 1 minute and a new track. dragged into place. 7. Hit select, chose another track same results dragged into place. 8. dragged two of the midi tracks created from the style tracks in to line and they dropped right in, and played smoothly.

OP Rob Helms Veteran R Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 8,081 Pawling New York	the test continues: So today I opened the file again and added another BiaB VSTi a second one the first is still in the track list 1. Wanted to make sure that the second Plug had the same chords in it. tried highlight, right click, copy and that doesn't work. tried control C and then Control V and that did work. setup the same bar markers as first plugin 2. Chose a style similar to the last one, selected it, and hit enter, generate waited 5:52 then the render was ready to drag. Drag went smoothly. 3. Selected a single RT from picker, hit generate and waited about :50 green icon appeared drug to the track area tested and all 18 tracks play including the two midi that are there. summary in Cakewalk by Bandlab I have a song file with 32 bars times 3 or including lead in and out about 102 bars. both A and B bar types. 2 full style track sets, a multiriff, and 4 individual tracks. All the multiriffs except one was deleted after testing them all. Render times for individual or single tracks is short, for style tracks and Multiriffs is fairly long. Conclusion is that the plugin does in fact work, as least here on CbB. I did have success in Studio one, however it was a bit more shaky. Same with Reaper in that while it did work it reeked havoc with the graphics. I can't wait to try the next build to see if this gets even better. Last edited by RobH; 01/10/19 10:01 AM.
