Can't seem to find the style M_EZLIPS.STY you mentioned and I have 2023 UltraPak, has it been misspelt ? Have you tried a Stylepicker rebuild?

OK, I listened to the Demo song (after regenerating). There is an issue at the end of the first chorus (32 bars) where the song gets 'stuck' on bar 32 before starting the 2nd chorus.
The song is in C, but immediately the song gets to bar 32, the whole song changes to another key. I've seen it go from C to F and C to A.
When it does this it generates silence for a couple of bars while it 'catches up'
It's an issue. I'm not sure why (above my pay grade - which is zero). I'll report it to the developers. It's not an <F5> setting (a key change is not specified) and shouldn't get 'stuck' anyway.

Found it. It's M_ZLISP.Sty
Thanks for your kind help!
No, It is M_EZLISP.Sty -- It got you as well then :-) I have edited the OP.
I am not worried about the demo.
I just created a simple song with a few chords and it will not play the instruments I mentioned. And as mentioned, I cannot get the instruments to sound even when using the Mixer->Pianos
Even when re-selecting the Bass Realtrack, it will not play. If I use any (I tried one) other style and select this Realtrack, it does play.
And what's up with the Message I got about Hi-Q patch?

Dan, if you load the demo song for the style: "M_EZLISP Demo (MIDI SuperTrack - EZ Listening Piano Quartet).SGU" and play it, does the key change at the end of the first chorus and it seems to hesitate while it generates?

I simply create a new song and just add 1 or 2 chords. Then test and the problem is already there = No Bass - as in silence when muting the other instruments

I tested with 4 bar diddy. All tracks played well. The Bass played fine upon muting all others. Only unusual observation from this simple test is that the song did not stop when expected. It continued to play to end of 8 bars. Have you adjusted the endings?
If I load the style and replace the 1388 Bass with 1386 Bass, the bass will also NOT play.
If I load sister style: M_EZPN85.sty, (slow version) and replace its 1386 Bass with the 1388 (the non-playing one), it plays fine.
The problem thus seems style related and more specifically to the actual track since the bass can play if I load it into another track in the same style (see earlier test)
It seems as if the first track is invisibly disabled in this style.

But that is not what is happening here?
Side Note: In early Dec 2022 my 5 year old Dell DAW died. Within the next two weeks I purchased it,s replacement. A brand new shiny modern updated DAW with all the whistles and bells installed. Since that time BIAB has been working better than in the past. I have had numberous examples where I am not able to reproduce issues which others are reporting. Heck, in the past I was the one reporting most of the issues. But not since the new build. A coincidence? ...maybe or maybe not! Good Luck.

Berntd, I suggest that you select Options > Return To Factory Settings as a starting point.
I had difficulties recently especially with the style and it was resolved with the factory settings. I still don't understand why, and I haven't had to restore factory settings for many years.
Try it and see if that makes a difference.

I works fine here as well. I just downloaded the attached style, put in 4 chords generated and played and muted of the other instruments in order. Bass plays fine. Piano plays fine. BIAB2023.
Bass RT 1388 is an older file. See what date and file size you have and compare it to mine which is working well... Maybe you have a corrupt file? or a version which was fixed at some time?
I can't find any thing else on my computer for this specific bass except for these two demo file... If you can find other files send the info and I will look for them.
OK, lets compare the Style Files. Here are mine. You will see there are new versions just recently along with the old versions in my "historic" collection. Do you have the new versions??
Or hold it, perhaps I have two versions due to how I had to backup all the old files since I switched machines. So the two dates may be related to that and not actually two different versions. Sorry if I confuse the situration, but I am just trying to help...

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
