Sure, I can use RealBand, but was trying to use the plugin in PowerTracks like I would in a different DAW. It doesn't load it at all during a folder scan of VST plugins, and trying to load it individually (manually), Trying to load it it manually gives a: Check - 559038737 - - 559026163 - 0 - 0 error, and then I have to close PowerTracks with task manager, because the error just keeps popping up over and over each time I press OK. Maybe someone else could try it.

For example, there happens an older version dated 01/08/2021 that happens to be sitting in a C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins\BB folder on my hard drive that works (although for some reason BB playback in the plugin is distorted), but the latest one doesn't work at all. I don't know exactly what version of the plugin stopped working in PT/RB, but that message is displaying during a callback function, and it indicates an opcode and index that are both way out of range. I am hoping that the programmer in charge of the plugin can eventually figure out why this occurs in RB/PT and fix it in the plugin itself. No other VSTi plugins are having this issue with RB/PT. Even if that message were suppressed entirely, the current version of the BB plugin still won't work in RB/PT. Nothing has changed in RB/PT, it's the something that has changed regarding the plugin itself from what I'm seeing. Thanks. Last edited by Jeff Yankauer; 01/10/24 01:09 PM. Jeff Yankauer

If BiaB is going VST3 soon RB/PT should as well.

Then I tried it again, loaded the plugin, and it looked okay, but when I clicked to select a style, PTPA just closed. Then I tried it again. This time, the plugin loaded, I was able to select a style and input a chord progression, and copy it to the individual tracks and play back. So, thank you! Seems to work now, but took a few tries to get there.
