I use the GM2 synth like TTS-1 or SD-20 to punch out the basic track and get my chords and arrangement together, transfer that over to RealBand for piano roll editing, then I start choosing other instruments from various synth. I like the SD-20 a lot too and have some very decent tracks made with only the SD-20 and a DR-770 for drums when I was not satisfied with the SD-20 drums or just wanted to experiment with the 2 together. I did the Coyote DXi trial run but it did not really appeal to me for some reason. The TTS-1 is decent enough, allows me to have less stuff plugged in to get things rolling. But, I do have to ignore some of the tones it makes while entering a song in BIAB all along knowing I'm not going to keep all of it in the end.


Does the noise in your head bother me ?
