Summary of changes for build 626 (April 16, 2019) -------------------------- - Fixed: In the 64 bit version, PG DirectX plugins would not list any presets. The presets are shared with the 32 bit version, so saving and deleting should affect the same preset lists.

- Added: Stand-alone version of the DAW Plugin. This is installed to bb\BBPlugins\Files\. This exe is useful if a DAW doesn't support drag and drop, for troubleshooting, and for people who want a very simple Band-in-a-Box program just with Chordsheet and file generation, with drag and drop to Explorer.
- Added: FX versions of the VST2 and VST3 Plugins for programs that don't recognize VST instruments, such as Audition. Installed to bb\BBPlugins\Files\. If you need these files, copy them from here to your VST folder.
