Short version: It depends on which version of BiaB you're running.

The Trumpet v3 runs in the 64 bit Kontakt Player, so requires that the host program (BiaB) be able to run 64 bit VSTis.

BiaB 2018 and prior were 32 bit, so they required jBridge to run 64 bit VSTis.

So if you're running BiaB 2018 or prior, you should be able to run The Trumpet in the Kontakt Player if you have jBridge. PG Music offered it as an optional purchase with BiaB.

However, the 2019 release of BiaB is now 64 bit native, which means it will be able to run 64 bit VSTis (like Kontakt) without JBridge. So if you're running BiaB 2019, you should be able to run it without jBridge.

Caveat: I haven't tested The Trumpet, but I'm running other Kontakt 64 bit libraries under BiaB 2018.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
