So, for newbies is there a recommended synth that will play BIAB midi styles as PG hear them?
Most if not all of our recent MIDI styles use sounds from Sforzando or Synthmaster. Otherwise I think these days we're using VSTSynthFont64 or Coyote.

That forum thread was removed from the stickies and locked shortly after the news of TTS-1's death.

We still do - the plugin is located in x:\bb\Data\libx64\VSTSynthFont64.dll and uses the included GMGSx.sf2 soundfont in the same folder.
