Another way to assign the CoyoteWT as your default DXi synth is to click on the [DXi] button to open the
DirectX/VST Window and then select CoyoteWT for the top Plugin slot.
This window will also display the main display panel for the Coyote WT.
Coyote WT Overview
The main display panel lists the sixteen available MIDI channels down the left side with the program, bank number,
and name of each instrument patch assignment. During playback the number of voices (notes) being used by each
instrument is displayed.
What does CoyoteWT do?
CoyoteWT (WaveTable) works in conjunction with Band-In-A-Box or other DXi-compatible host programs, to
produce realistic audio output. It plays “samples” of actual instruments in response to commands from the DXi
host. For instance, when Band-in-a-Box says to play a loud middle C using an acoustic steel-string guitar,
CoyoteWT looks up that note of that instrument in its sample-bank database and then outputs that note to the sound
card, at the requested volume, for the requested duration.
System Requirements
Generating a realistic emulation of dozens of instruments at a time requires a fairly powerful computer. The
following requirements should be considered as absolute minimums:
- Pentium III CPU at 500 MHz.
