PG Music Home Forums General Discussion Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production DISCUSSION RE COYOTE. are there uses for it ? (includeing example audio excerpt.)

All.
(and might be of interest to new users.)

heres a fascinating mode of operation or a 'quirk' in bb illustrating
a major advantage of haveing coyo in bb preferences as the default synth.
viz...

IF i use any other default vst other than coyo in bb preferences one would think logically...
(and i'm thinking of a new user getting confused on this)
THAT playing back the midi style demo or double clicking on a midi style the non coyo default plugin sounds would be played.
(eg lets say i set bb default to sforzando OR synthfont or whatever say the 'stupid om plugin' that i just programmed...lol..)

BUT NO even though i have changed the default plugin from coyo to another plugin in bb preferences..
guess what ?? yep coyo sounds are still used in auditioning a style demo. obviously the reason being i guess cos i'm useing a non gm plugin.

THUS given the above a bottom line advantage of coyo as default is i save time cos i dont have to faff around spending time setting up sound patches.
WHEREAS if i use another default like sforzando or something else i DO have to manually set up the sound patches. ie score +1 for coyo.

now one can imagine if one is useing a lot of midi tracks going non coyo as default means a lot of patch set up work. ie time spent away from working fast cos of auditioning of sound patches.
(i wont even mention the flexibility of rb with a capability of oodles of midi tracks.)

in summary if one isnt useing coyo one might have to do lots of pacth setting up.
see what i mean ?
this week ive been doing a ton of testing to see if i can use a non coyo default plugin whereby i dont have lots of patch set up work.
ie like coyo if i use any other default plugin can i get it so patches are set up automatically ?
but to no avail.
bottom line is i have to choose either coyo as default as the patches are set up for me thus i can do fast chord arranges OR another default plugin whereby i have to set up the manually.

now i'm no synth guru like many users on pg but i suspect the reason i'm gettin g probs when useing a non coyo default plugin is its not GM...right ??

see my dilemma ?

ive tried various workarounds to no avail.
what is REALLY INTERESTING is in bb mixer even though in the plugin section it says 'default synth' when useing a non coyo default plugin i still have to go through for each track and load the non coyo plugin...so it says then 'sforzando' or whatever.

i can only conclude from the above that useing coyo there are some pg programming routines that set up the patches for the user. if so +1 to coyo whereas not useing coyo the same pg programming routines dont apply ??
which leaves me pondering if i were useing TTS-1 GM plugin...
WOULD THE PATCHES BE SET UP AUTOMATICALLY ??

any synth pro's feel free to jump in and comment.
eg matt or charlie or other users as i dont consider myself a synth pro.
am i correct in thinking that useing a gm default plugin i wouldnt have to go through the arduous task of setting up patches for each track ??
OR say if i used halion sonic ...its gm ??
aah the joys of creating songs...lol.

@Gordon.

1..re 'contradictory'. yes i agree. very good point.
2..re RT's. what i like to do is use coyo to get the arrange down fast useing midi styles..
then haveing that firmed up i start auditioning rt styles and rt/rd/supertrack content etc.

happiness.
