But all past attempts to figure it out have been unsuccessful, even with partial instruction (where the existing tutorial uses Sforzando or something). I think Native Instruments and Arturia are big enough, non-competitive players to acknowledge their popularity in a video tutorial showing how to use 3rd party virtual instruments with BB. It could also help avoid having to export BB tracks to WAV and switch to using a DAW like I usually do.

If you are using VST3 use KV Element VST2 and load the VST3 in. https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqi7znov05c9dxr/BB22-Kontakt-Thru.mp4?dl=0 https://stash.reaper.fm/u/ReaTrak (Scripts for Biab Reaper) Open SGU in Reaper Instantly
