No what the other Rob is saying is that he is sending the midi data to the Yamaha Keyboard and letting it play the audio back into the PC's Sound Card, and using it as the synth. This can be done with any real good or bad for that matter external synth. I prefer sampletank, as i purchased it on a group buy this year for $50 and got 7 sound libraries free. Some of it is good, some bad, some great. I have very nice Pianos, decent electric guitars, and good solid accoustic guitars and basses. One cool area is the vocal samples, the Ohhs and Ahhs are very good, but it takes work to make the midi handle them well.

Rum RB and BiaB on MME drivers and leave ASIO for reaper. I have tried Reaper, but found it far to complicated to setup, and way to much work. Plus it crashed to much on my system. I use RB most of the time, and another DAW Mac turned me on to a couple years back that never crashes and is simple to run and setup.
