You’re not wrong. Coyote has its uses and the good news is that it is supplied free in BIAB. You might be referencing a recent thread in which I and others commented that Coyote Forte was in a different class (better) but is 32-bit and has not been updated. BIAB includes Coyote so users can at least hear something.

I come from several decades of using Roland hardware MIDI synths. I still have an Integra-7 but rarely use it now. How much easier that was! Now there is an endless number of software MIDI virtual instruments, and parameters to tweak to get great rewards in sound.

I’ve thought for a few years it might be nice if someone wrote an article on choosing software sounds for BIAB that could be in the Tips and Tricks Forum. Someone like Mario, who graciously helped me a couple of years back to find some great sounds for jazz big band, could do it and make things easier for newcomers.
