Hi Dan,
I personally have no use for a MIDI sound source in the VST because I have much better sounds for my DAW, i.e. I drag and drop my VST MIDI tracks into my DAW then delete the VST. HOWEVER I can see the benefit for those that need a VST sound source. If implemented it would be nice if it was an option.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Without the Midi synth in the VST every midi track needs to be routed to the DAW for use with an individual VST in order to hear the sounds. That means one for the drums, one for the guitar, one for the horn, one for the piano and on and on. The alternative would be to have a GM synth in you DAW, but that would still require routing of everything. If the VST had the GM synth, which is what Adar is proposing, then you only need to route those tracks which you need/want over in the DAW. I know you are a big midi user, so am I, but don't you use any audio RTs from BIAB in your DAW? I use both. I reserve the midi for those tracks which I want to customize both content and sound source. RTs do the rest of the fill.
The midi in BIAB that I want, I move directly to the DAW and set it up with my Sounds Sources, but I don't want to set up every midi track just so I can hear it. Would be much more convienent and faster to compose and construct the midi in the BIAB-VST with an internal Synth in the BIAB-VST and than when I get it right, move it via drag and drop or via routing to the DAW.
I know that are lots of ways to skin this cat, but what Adar is offering is something very new and very practical for the BIAB-VST. So I will lobby as hard as I can.
Thanks Dan

Dan, I rarely use RTs, either in my DAW or BiaB.
Like I said I am not against having a GM synth attached to the VST, it would just be useless for me. Other may find it very useful.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
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."
