Which Coyote? Coyote Forte (good, paid) or Coyote Wavetable (free, poor, 64-bit)?
Did you look in Preferences, MIDI Driver? Is DXi checked?

Since you are having 32-bit versus 64-bit issues, I'm presuming that you are running 64-bit Windows.
The first thing I would do is look on your BIAB USB drive (or DVD or whatever you have to install BIAB) and look for the Coyote WT installation executable. I'm not at my music workstation right now, so I don't have the exact name of the file (I can check later this evening unless someone jumps in earlier). Then, right click on the file and select "Run as Administrator". This should ensure it gets installed properly.
For the TTS-1, make sure you install the 32-bit version (although I don't think MC4 came in anything other than 32-bit). Also, you may just want to do the same thing and right click on its installer and select "Run as Administrator".
Once installed, I would also find your BIAB icon and right click, select properties, then the compatibility tab, and check the box to run it as administrator as well.
See if that works. If not, you can also try to rescan your DXi configuration (do that from the VST box in BIAB). From the VST box, select Options, Scan for New DX Plugins.

Since you have TTS, make it your default synth. That should solve the problem.
Do that for both BB & RB and you should be fine. If you have trouble..... be sure you know where TTS is and call PG support. They walked me through my first install many years ago.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Music Creator 6 and below (MC5, MC4, MC3, etc.) are 32 bit programs. Virtual Sound Canvas (VSC) and TTS-1 are 32 bit. I'm not sure about MC6 Touch. Music Creator 7 and it's TTS-1 programare available in 32 and 64 bit flavors. The default download matches your operating system but you can also get the alternate version.
There are also concerns such as VST versus DXI and running 64 bit apps in 32 bit host programs but I don't know what they are.

TTS-1 should be showing up under the Program Files X86 folder. That confirms you are using a 64-bit version of Windows, and your 32-bit applications are stored under the x86 folder.
I agree, you should use the TTS-1 software synth instead of Coyote Wavetable. You have the 32-bit TTS-1, so use that with BIAB.
