I upgraded to 613 yesterday and today SO4 no longer sees the BIAB VSTis. (Win10-64)

I uninstalled BIAB (I run it from the external drive) with the VSTs on my C drive and re-installed using setup from the drive.

They were then showing as vsts in SO4. Next, I updated to 613 and SO4 no longer sees the VSTi's.

Reaper sees all of them - vst2-64 & vst3

Any suggestions?

Edit: redid above with full computer reboots between each step... Studio one doesn't even see the first version from the pg hdd.

Have a look in the Effects list if you have
Band-in-a-Box DAW VST FX Plugin.dll
Band-in-a-Box DAW VST FX Plugin.vst3

If you have use it or remove them from the vst folders then open S1 again you should see the VSTi.

By default VST3 will go to C:\Programs Files\ Common Files \ VST3 \
The file you want is "Band-in-a-Box DAW VST3 Plugin.vst3" PG music recommends the VST3 plugin for various reasons. Also as mentioned S1 does not use the fx VST.
Make sure S1 knows where to find the VST and if need be have scan on startup selected to add any new plugins.

Well, I am one step closer.

I removed the VSTi-64 and VST-FX leaving only the VSTi3.

This finally shows in the Studio One list of available plugins.

Once the plugin is inserted (either dragged or Add Instrument Track), the GUI auto opens as normal.

I can "Generate" tracks for the Style loaded, BUT I cannot drag the completed tracks anywhere in the Arrange area of Studio One.

It also shows as being disabled in the Instrument panel list (and unable to be Enabled).

The only way to reopen the GUI is from the Instrument panel list via Edit, but of course, it cannot be enabled.

The Left-Click menu on the BIAB track panel has The Remove Track and Instrument option greyed out - however, the Remove Track is available.

It seems that the BIAB vsti looses communication with SO4 as soon as it is loaded.

in my system the VSTi will generate styles, single tracks, multiriffs. try the below method

In studio one drag to the tracks to the start of the time line not the arranger. The later does not work like in bandlab for some reason.

okay... another small step.

I was able to generate the tracks in BIAB VSTi3 and drag them into Studio One.

They play as they should and the VSTi3 is actually following the time ruler of SO4!

However, once the VSTi3 GUI window is closed, I can no longer reopen it...

If you use the VST2i it will give you the orange piano icon on the track (the VTS3i needs fixing still) you can find all the plugins in C:\bb\BBPlugin\Files
here is a link for the newer 614 pre-release https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=518713#Post518713

Getting very close!

Using the 614 VST2i, everything worked as it should, for the most part.

The Generate time has a huge improvement - from 50sec down to 12sec for a test Style.

The plugin stays live and can be enabled/disabled and the GUI reopened prior to loading or generating any styles.

I am able to drag generated tracks into the DAW and they play properly.

However, once Generating has been done, and the plugin is then disabled and then re-enabled, the plugin crashes on any further Generating/Dragging.

This has been reported and should be fixed in the next update.
