om, no you are not a dunce!
I use Coyote as a scratch pad. It is the only sound source I use with BiaB. Once I get the arrangement I want I drop the MIDI files into my DAW so I can use better sounds.

If you use short notes then the GM sounds are not that bad; say eighth notes (quavers) and shorter notes. Anything longer can/will show GM sound deficiencies. YMMV


I get most of my exercise these days from shaking my head in disbelief.
