I am currently using Win 7 x64. I purchased Coyote Forte DXI since Roland VSC isn’t supported by Win 7 x64.

The midi drums, bass and piano sound pretty good on Coyote Forte, but the acoustic steel string guitar and mandolin sound like crap. The Roland VSC sounds much better on these two instruments, but it isn’t supported on Win 7 x64.

The Real Styles and Real Tracks aren’t an option since almost all of them are programmed in 16th note styles, (for acoustic, “aka bluegrass” music), when they are actually written in 8th notes.

Does anyone out there have an idea about how to get a decent sound out of the acoustic steel string guitar and mandolin, short of going to the Ketron SD2, while using midi and Coyote Forte?

I'm hoping that PG will implement a "fix" or a "patch" to the Real Tracks and Real Styles concerning 16th notes, when they should be 8th notes, but this hasn't happened yet. Peter said in a previous post that he would address it in the future, but I'm looking for something that will work now.

Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Bob

P.S. When you see the word or "style" of bluegrass, all that means is acoustic instruments. It does include drums, (aka, a beat), and it doesn't have to be "hillbilly". It's how music was played before amplification or effects.
