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


Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport, the terminal?

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
