such doesnt seem to exist.

the problem i find with lots of vi's as i said earlier is many times the time taken with them compared to coyo and complexity of some vi's.

lol...basically i want coyo on steroids ie coyo pro lets say.
if anyone knows a vi with gm support and coyos ease of use/ease of setup on a track while being light on pc resources...gimme a shout.

happiness.

I suspect that, to some extent at least, better sounding and the same low resource usage may be somewhat contradictory.

What I find frustrating is that even VSTSynthFont64, which PGM quietly bundle with BiaB but don't talk much about, sounds pretty good with a good soundfont, but is just a bit of a pain to use with BiaB. In fact nearly(?) every other synth seems a pain with BiaB. I don't know about with RB.

Like so many things, I struggle to understand why PGM don't polish these things more. Perhaps in this case it's because they see RTs as the main product and don't really care aboit MIDI.

As I think a couple of people have said, maybe use Coyote to rough out an idea, then transfer the MIDI to a DAW and use decent VSTis. The problem, of course, is that isn't the workflow you want, at least in the early stages.
