Of these midi synths, Which is best for use with BIAB?
And is Coyote Wave included with BIAB different from Coyote Forte Dxi?
Finally, I have found a cool signature with sufficiently dry humor.

It will help if you tell us if you are using a 32-bit or 64-bit Windows.
And yes, the free Coyote Wavetable is nowhere near as good as Coyote Forte, which is not on your list.

I've heard a lot of them and it depends on what you want to do, and what is you Operating System 32 OR 64?
Lots of good hardware solutions...and some decent software ones...

currently XP (32bit).
May upgrade to 7 within a year, or longer - 64 bit if I do.
Rendering final works hasn't been my use of BIAB, but am thinking of actually trying Realband which I haven't up till now.
Just would like a good all around sound. most music styles
Oh, definitely not looking for hardware. Just wondering which of those mentioned works best, or the trade offs. Hadn't installed Coyote then read something, but Forte is different. Not sure if I should bother installing. Ease of use could be a factor.

In my opinion, no question. The TTS-1. There is so much that you can do with the TTS-1, including individual instrument effects, overall effects, and more.
Personally, I think it's just the best software synth out of the ones you've mentioned. With a Real Track backing, the piano sounds pretty real, too!
Worth what you pay for it.

I would strongly recommend the TTS-1 as your starting point for GM. It has substantial mixing/parameter control and the setups can be saved. No comparison with vsc in my oppinion.

Another vote for TTS, add RTs to it and it is pretty good. In RB i use TTS, and Sampletank, and add RTs to those and i get some very nice sounds.

If you use a lot of older BAIB midi styles, these often sound more "right" with VSC as, I suspect, they were written with that in mind. The balance is often better, and, where the style has strings or pads, I nearly always find that VSC sounds better than any of the others. That's not to say that the sounds are better, they just fit better in the mix. Also, you need to bear in mind that the whole VSC and TTS-1 programmes (with 200-odd instruments) are smaller than the middle C samples on their own in a decent sampled piano like Ivory or the While Grand, so you can't expect miracles.
Another thing to bear in mind is that you can swap these very small GM players (VSC / Forte / TTS1) in a few seconds using the Audio/Midi options dialog box, so you don't have to stick with one.

Of those you mentioned the TTS-1 is the best IMHO.
Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.

I tried the the demo version of Forte and thought it was ok but to my ears the TTS was better and as mentioned have alot more control over the presets.
