Don,
You still have me going around in circles here. First you mention Coyote Forte DXi and then Emu HW synth. Please answer these questions specifically:

1. Is the song you use to practice all Midi?- Yes
2. If all Midi is it being reproduced by the Forte DXi or the HW synth? - HW synth
3. Is the thru channel going to the HW synth or the Forte DXi? - Forte
Please go to Prefs/audio/audio drivers and tell us:
1. Input driver selected for MME Realtek- Line High Definition Audio -- for ASIO - ASIO4all V. 2
2. Output driver selected. for Realtex MME Speakers High Definition Audio -- for ASIO - ASIO4all V. 2
3. audio driver type primarily ASIO but MME acts the same
Go to Prefs/midi/midi devices and tell us:
1. Input driver E-mu Xmidi 1X 1
2. output driver E-mu Xmidi 1X 1
3. Default synth - Forte DXI
4. Is re-route midi playback to default synth checked off. - Yes "
