You need a virtual connection cable and a sound source.
We use LoopBe1 Basically LoopBe1 is an “invisible cable” to connect a Midi outport of an application to any other application´s Midi inport.
As sound source we use the soft synt Respiro, this beautiful standalone software is special made for electronic wind instruments (Rudy Verpaele) https://www.imoxplus.com
We are also huge fans of the VST instruments of https://audiomodeling.com and https://www.samplemodeling.com
You need a host for VST instruments. (reason/camelot/cubase)
