Thanks.


I guess my answer was not clear either.

You can not play a HiQ (SampleTank) Midi Patch thru Forte Dxi". Sampletank and Forte Dxi are the same thing. They are both sound synths. You can use one or the other.

There are NO HiQ Midi files - BIAB has two types of midi files 1) the conventional historical C7 computer generated midi which is how it started out and 2)SuperMidi Tracks which are midi recorded by an artist.

Now here is what I think you are asking. Will SuperMidi tracks sound the same when played via the ST2 Vst synth versus the Forte Dxi. The answer depends a bit on the instrument but I believe in a blind listen-test few could distinguish the two. They are both very good.

That's my story and I am sticking to it until someone corrects me. grin

By the way both ST2 and Forte are way way better than the Coyote wavetable which comes free. But I think you already noticed that. Once the synths start costing money, there is a diminishing return on investment. I have both CoyteForte Dxi and ST3 and for most of the sounds there is not a big difference to my ear.
