Midi yoke would take the output of OMB and send it to the input of Forte. I use Maple Virtual Midi Cable instead of Midi Yoke nowadays.

It works better in certain installations when sometime Midi Yoke will not, and I appreciate that it has 4 ins and outs as opposed to the 8 you get with Midi Yoke, eliminating some clutter in your apps midi settings menu.

My OMB app is becoming more useful to me as I setup different schemes using Live Synth Pro inside of Sonar. I used to run the OMB output into Sonar with a single instance of LSP, but my new laptop is a lot more powerful than my PC and my old laptop, so I can run individual instances of LSP now for each midi output channel of OMB.

This allows me to set up effects and EQ's individually for each channel, resulting in a much better sound overall. Plus I can use SGM180 in some channels and other soundfonts, such as Bennett's another XG, for example, in others.
