Noel-
I do have BIAB connected to an external controller....I'm using a USB midi cable to connect to my computer...

I didn't mean to be confusing about the big piano...the point I was making, is that the midi cable must be connected correctly because whatever note I hit on my keyboard shows up on the big piano..it also shows
up on the thru piano view and the vu meter moves ...
However I can't get the sound ( as I did on my old computer...unless a song is playing...then I hear it perfectly including in the solo mode

As far as coyote , I am using the VST/DXI setting and I'm using the coyote program that comes with BIAB...

Again thanks for your help

Deacon
