The Wavetable is nothing but a small piece of code that allows your PC to use the totally crap soundchip on your mobo as a DXi.



Not to belabor the argument on several threads, but, actually, that's not really true. The Coyote WT allows you to use the Microsoft Wavetable (software) as a DXi. Doesn't matter if you have a totally crap soundchip or a $1000 soundcard on your computer. The sounds come from a file (which I forget the name of at the moment, but is easy to find) on your computer and play through whatever sound card you have. It's part of the Windows installation. I think that was what Peter was getting at earlier in his discussion with Bob Norton. The soundchip/card/whatever on your computer has NO MIDI sounds, just like BIAB has no MIDI sounds. Microsoft provides a basic set of sounds so you can play MIDI without buying anything else; PGMusic provides the Coyote WT so you can use it as a DXi, so you don't have to buy anything else. But they're not in the MIDI soundset business, so if you want better sounds, there are options. But you're not dead in the water just because all you have is what Windows gave you. It's still software.

Splitting hairs, yes, but I hope you get my point.
