As I recall, Coyote WT came on the BiaB 2010.5 installation CD. Install
it and then go to "Opt./MIDI/Audio driver setup..." and check the "Use
VST/DXi Synth" box and select "Coyote Wave Table DXi" from the drop-list
at the top. That's about all you have to do. The settings you make in
BiaB will automatically play through the Coyote WT. Like you, I used
the Roland VSC for years then tried Coyote WT when it was available and
decided it was about all I needed for my purposes. Most of the rhythm
instruments sound great to my aged ears. (Sounds better than the voices
in my Yamaha DGX-300 and better than Roland VSC but, like the search for
the perfect mouthpiece, some folks are never satisfied. That's why
there are so many choices out there.)Ron Hanson

for. I've been using BIAB since 2005. I've used Roland VSC for about
that long also. While VSC works better than Microsoft GM sounds, if I
want a better sound, I export the MIDI to my DAW and use sound fonts. I
would like to be able to use VSTi or DXi, but I don't understand enough
about what I'm looking for to even make a decision on what to use. It's
the old scenario where I don't even know enough to ask the right
questions! I do see the ability in Opt/MIDI to select DXi, but when I
render, I get an empty wav file. I see the ability to load a VSTi, but
don't know what I need to get all of the instruments in one VSTi. I use
VSTi's in the DAW and they work fine, but they are on single instrument
VSTi's. I assume there are VSTi's that have several instruments in one
VSTi.

handles software buffering. While "free" is sometimes better on the
pocketbook, I don't mind upgrading the audio card and/or buying a VSTi
or DXi if I need to. I just want to be able to render a good sound by
using BIAB and not have to export to a DAW to get a better MIDI sound.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

I'm doing melody or solo tracks. Although not a bad sound, I need my
MIDI sound to have a better sound than it does with using Roland VSC.
