Hi Les,

Thank you for posting the image. It really helps me see what you have.

The following things stand-out to me ...

1. Under "Midi output driver", it is always best to have "Microsoft GS WaveTable Synth", whatever the set-up. This has been recommended a number of times by PG Music staff in forum posts over the years.

2. Setting the "Synthesizer / Sound Card" does not load Coyote Forte as a synthesizer. It simply loads a patch map for the sounds. To load the synth so it plays, it's necessary to use the button "VST/DXi Synth Settings" and set the synth. At the moment, your set-up is loaded to play Coyote WT and not Coyote Forte.

As suggested in my above post, have a look at ...

... link to setting up Coyote

In my second post found at the above link, I guide Jim through how to set-up Coyote Forte. If you follow the instructions there, it will help.

Regards,
Noel
