Good points Mac. For the record I’m using Creative ASIO drivers with my Elite Pro soundcard so ASIO drivers MAY not be the problem. Some of my Sonar VST’s don’t work in BiaB either, but like I said that is a non-issue with me.

I also agree with you that it doesn’t sound that much better than the VSC DXi. It’s just that it has a lot more sounds to choose from, plus it’s free.

I believe the reason E-MU is giving this away is that it is yesterday’s sounds. There is an “update this software” button on the VST. I’m guessing that their game plan is that if you like this you will really love our new softsynth that you can buy.

Gary N, if you are looking for a good GM sound set then the VSC-DXi is where to start. You already have this as it comes with BiaB. If you haven’t installed it yet now may be the time. It’s on the CD. If you are looking to add more sounds then you should be using either RealBand (if you just purchased BiaB then RealBand was probably included in your purchase), PowerTracks Pro Audio or any other sequencer along with the VX. You can use any number of outside sound sources with these, i.e. BiaB is limited to one outside sound source. However I’m not sure the VX is compatible with RealBand or PowerTracks. You will have to check that out.

Have fun!
