OK, here are some details about my "stuff" and my gigs
I have had the Fantom X8 for a while and I use it in my Music room...mostly at home. It is an "88" and weighs a lot... I usually carry a Ensoniq KS-32 for pads on the gig. I have been using coyote WT until lately and I upgraded to Forte. The difference in midi sound was amazing to me...then I read in the forums about how much better the high-end synths were... I realized I probably owned one in the Roland X8 and could avoid spending a hunk of cash if I was willing to carry it to the gig with me.
I have been playing BIAB directly from computer into a 500w Yamaha EMX5104c Stereo powered mixer into either/or (depending on room) 2 Bose 802's and/or 2 Kustom 15/horn enclosures. I carry my bass amp: 100w Roland Cube. I use the stereo to place myself on the vocals/bass/tpt and the keyboardist on vocals/keys...very simple but has worked well so far.
I am a Jazz Trumpet player w/some doubles...Ha! I was on the road for over 20 years. Being a horn player, I have never been satisfied with midi horns in section patches and that is not available in RTs, yet. So when I heard the improvement of the Coyote Forte, I had to start exploring even better sounds...
Examples of different types of songs we might have in a set: This Masquerade (Benson) Don't Get Around Much Anymore All the Things You Are Don't Be Cruel Moon Dance Crazy The Very Thought of You You Don't Know Me You'll Never Find (Lou Rawls) Dancing in the Dark (Springsteen)
I was not aware of the X8s ability to control play back on the gig...that's great...but maybe a big learning curve for me...BUT I would love to have that ability!
I was thinking of running BIAB/RB on the gig as usual and using the midi sounds from the Fantom instead of Coyote Forte...but my thinking is changing due to the experience and expertise in all your responses...Thanks!
I use RTs every chance I get and have never been a midi fan until lately...it is improving enough to please my "purist" attitude... In fact, I avoided BIAB for years simply to avoid midi drum sounds... When I heard the RealDrums...I was sold!
Forgive my long Bio...just wanted to answer your questions and give a little insight to my thinking on this matter
Thanks All! Ken
Blessings! Ken Hicks

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
