LeeG,

As you discovered, Coyote is a sound module. There are many different kinds of sound modules including hardware and software. Sound modules can be monophonic and play one instrument sound or polyphonic and play multiple instruments at one time. Sometimes the sounds are built into the module (like Coyote) and sometimes the sounds have to be loaded into the player (like 1kMultimedia's SampleTank, another sound module provided for free by PG Music) each time.

When a sound module has the capability to play multiple instruments at the same time, has instrument sounds built-in and the instrument sounds follow a standardized list the sound module is said to be general midi compatible. Software examples include Coyote WT and Coyote Forte. Hardware examples include consumer keyboards.
