I have Cakewalk synths and use mainly Real tracks. Does this bring anything to the table in terms of quality compared to what I already have with Cakewalk? I purchased the latest 2010.5 upgrade on a hard drive but didn't notice it anywhere.



.......... All that wavetable is btw is a program that uses your onboard soundchip as a DXi. The sound quality is still your el cheapo motherboard's sound chip. The reason for having it is when using Win 7 64 bit the Roland VSC won't work so this was PG's way of including some kind of sound for Win 7 64 bit users. ..............



I don't think any onboard chip creates MIDI sounds in and of themselves. That would really be terrible--beeps and squeaks. All MIDI not using outboard equipment is created by softsynths (not only VST and DXi, but system softsynths as well, such as the Windows-included Microsoft Synth (also by Roland)).

The term "wavetable" just means using sampled instrument sounds. Most softsynths are "wavetable".

If the Coyote softsynth that PG Music includes is no better than the Microsoft synth that comes with Windows, I have no idea why PG Music would include it? (Have you actually tried it and compared it, and found it to be no better than...., or is that something you heard?) You write that it is included for those who use 64 bit Windows. I haven' t yet used 64 bit Windows myself, but doesn't it come with the Microsoft GS Synth, as do all other versions of Windows? If so, and the Coyote synth included with PG products is no better than the Microsoft Synth, why include it?
