Thanks very much for taking the time.

Coyote WT is indeed the loaded synth. But I then get several problems.

1) I started a New project, In the style picker, I select a style with midi. Say, Clapton1.sty. When I press Quick-play using premade demo, I hear the various midi instruments, but I'm not sure i they are being played back thorugh the Coyote. It sounds like the onboard Microsft synth. Not sure. Anyway...

2) I load the demo song itself, click ok, return to the main interface and press play. Now all instruments except that style's Realdrums play back as piano. Bass, guitar, and organ parts are all piano. Coyote is showing, but it won't let me change the patch in any slots from Piano.

3) I can play and hear my keyboard, but only as piano, as per above, and with borderline unuseable latency which I'd never had before.

4) Loading in the bundled Sampletank, I can load in any instrument in the collection except piano, for exmaples, strings, guitar, you name it, but when I press play, I only hear the same piano I've been hearing. Clicking on Sampletank's virtual keyboard produces no sound. The same applies to other 32 but VSTis I load in to replace sampletank , e.g. Pianissimo, EZKeys, Kontakt, you name it. All of which used to work without a hitch in my now crippled version of Bib 2014. Even though they appear to be loaded, I get no sound out of them, either via their virtual keyboards, or my real midi controller. I only get this generic piano, which again sounds like the MS piano. All these instrumenst work fine in Sonar, Studio One, Acid Pro.

So basically, in BiB 2016, midi does transmit, but I'm stuck in high-latency, cheesy pianoland. A serious step back.

Any ideas?
