Coyote WT doesn't replace the Windows sounds. What it does is it "wraps" the Windows sounds and presents it to your host as a DXi softsynth. That lets you use those sounds (which aren't great) as a soft synth, to include being able to directly render to WAV without having to record the song through your sound card. It allows you to do those things with a basic Windows system (if that's all you have), but most folks move along to better sounding soft synths.

Noel, Matt & John,
You've collectively put together an absolutely perfect summation of how these fundamentals hang together, something that dispels the confusion often associated with MIDI channels, software synths, and hardware equipment interfacing.

This should be a feature in the Tips and Tricks section.

Thanks to you all for your valuable input.
