I'm a little confused here (but doesn't take much nowadays to confuse me).

I understand that BIAB comes with a demo of Coyote Forte DXi, right? And it comes with CoyoteWT as a freebie? If that's true so far, then could someone please help me understand the MIDI/Audio drivers setup?


The Coyote Forte DXi and the CoyoteWT are 2 different animals. The WT is just the Windows player in a Coyote skin

I'd like to set it so that it uses Forte (so I can demo and decide whether I want to buy it or not) but I see two distinct places to choose a synth. At the top it says "Synth/Sound Card" and there I can indeed choose Coyote Forte DXi. But down below, below the Get Patch/Drum Kit info, there is a checkmark to use a VST/DXi synth, another checkbox to route MIDI thru to MIDI driver, and then below that a box marked VST/DXi Synth settings. In that last box, the only option I have is to choose the CoyoteWT.


You need to first install the Coyote Forte DXi. I"m not sure where the demo is. The "Synth/Sound Card" thing is just a list that sets up patches. It's not that important as the Forte is a GM synth.

So -- if I want to hear the Forte Synth as much as possible (exclusively?) how do I set things up? Any enlightenment would be vastly appreciated (right now I have the Forte in the top box, both lower ones checkmarked, and the WT in the lower box, which just doesn't seem right).


Once you install it when you check"Use VSTi/DXi synth a dialog will open. Use the drop down to load the Forte.
