So, just to clarify, ForteDXi is only for use with sounds OTHER than HiQ MIDI?


The Coyote Forte works with ANY midi in BIAB.

BIAB defines HiQ sounds as the ST2 collection of VSTs which it provides. So if you are listening to a HiQ Sound you are using ST2 as the sound source (by definition). In otherwords if you select the option to use HiQ sounds with a midi track it will open ST2.

So no such thing as "HiQ MIDI". Perhaps you are confusing SuperMidi or RealMidi with HiQ Midi? It is easy to do. grin

That's the way it works. Unless someone comes and corrects me? crazy



Sorry, I phrased my question poorly.

What I meant to ask was "Is it normal for a HiQ (Sampletank) MIDI patch played thru Forte DXi to sound no different (ie - no better)than playing it thru Coyote WT?"

As I said previously, other types of files DO sound better. It's just the HiQ MIDI files that sound the same (to my ears).

Thanks.
