I guess what I am really asking is, does BIAB/RealBand have good to very good sounding MIDI instruments in the "box?" Or, am I goung to have to also buy some soft-synth instruments (like Coyote ForteDXi for example) to get anywhere I want to be?




I don't know about the Coyote Forte (many like it), but the best sounding MIDI for me comes out of the KETRON SD2 Small box (available from PGMusic) that I use... check out the demo clips for both Forte & Ketron.

Also BIAB & RealBand are both easy and hard softwares, but you'l learn fast and the FORUM here will be your best source of help.

Good Luck
