I've had this issue since installing BIAB/RB onto my Win 10 Desktop - Desktop has a clean install of Win10 and an SSD HDD - while this computer was in shop being updated after original HDD crash, I installed version 2021 on older Win 7 laptop. On that laptop, the completed install on drive C had 8,525 total styles.
Same install on the new computer shows 8,521 until I do the Rebuild Styles process. After rebuild, there's only 6,232 styles. This has been the issue with every build from 804 forward. I had other issues to attend to and am only now in a position to address the issue.
Checking "what add-on's do I have" displays 63 MIDI sets and 15 MIDI solo sets are not found.
My install has 2,289 missing MIDI styles.
Factory reset does not resolve the issue, nor does fast or slow rebuild.
I did do a re-install early on but that did not have any effect on the install.
Just curious. Are you getting your Style count from the top LH corner of the Style Picker window? Mine shows 8565.
When I go to What Add Ons Do I Have, the "MIDI Styles sets [NOT found]" shows "You have all of the MIDI Style disks (unless we've made some new ones)".
Can you not just copy the contents of the "Styles" folder from the old laptop and paste them into that folder on the Desktop? You can get it to ignore the dupes.
Hi Lloyd. Yes that's where the number is prior to a rebuild on the Dell AIO. It only varies by 4 styles from the found styles on the Win 7 Laptop.
I'll likely follow your suggestion at some point but posted because I'm curious to any thoughts to why a normal install would 'skip' so many sets. There is the difference of installing the RealTracks folder and RealDrums folders on an external SSD HDD because I replaced the 1TB HDD of the AIO with a 250GB SSD but I don't see how to connect that to MIDI styles.
Hi Charlie, the MIDI styles are generally installed by the main BIAB installer when you're downloading BIAB. Are you installing BIAB from a download or do you have the external hard drive?
<< Can you not just copy the contents of the "Styles" folder from the old laptop and paste them into that folder on the Desktop? >>
Yes. That's what I decided to do. Thanks for the suggestion.
I renamed the Styles folder on the AIO Win 10 machine to Styles Back up and copied the Styles folder from the Laptop Win 7 machine replacing the Styles folder on the AIO machine. I did a slow rebuild and BIAB 2021 now has the correct 8,525 Styles.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
