Cakewalk TTS-1 problem

I have not seen that - but that does not mean it's not there.
 
After some much-needed coffee, I will play around with testing this out in an hour or so, and will post back my results.
 
What midi note events are being recorded when you do this?  Is it actually being fed the multiple notes?
 
Have you tried decaf? :)

Other softsynths are fine. Also, to be clear, I do get two separate notes, but the softsynth cuts off the second note instead of holding it, so even though I'm holding down the key at the second note I get two staccato notes. I tried increasing the midi buffer since it has been suggested for different issues on here, but it makes no difference.

Bump. Nobody else has seen this? Bakers? 

I cannot reproduce it. I just dropped in TTS-1 into a new project as a simple instrument track and tried several variations and no issues. I *believe* that the TTS-1 always inserts in its default setup and it must be configured from there (I rarely use it, so not sure); so barring tweaking it in any way I cannot replicate what you are describing.
 
Is the Poly showing you all the keys you are hitting?

It's a complete vanilla insert in an otherwise empty project. My controller is a simple Roland RD170 stage piano. It doesn't produce this behavior with other hardware or software synths nor with its own internal sound engine. It's hooked up via my E-MU 1820Ms front midi port, which has never given me any issues no matter which device I hook up. It doesn't have USB.

Hmmm... I dunno. I have an RD-700NX, and an old RD-300s. The RD-300s sends CC123, All Notes Off, at last key up which causes trouble with some VSTis that don't handle it properly in connection with sustain (e.g. NI Akoustic and Alicia's Keys), but TTS-1 is not affected. And newer Roland keyboards don't send it any more. Nevertheless, you should try running a MIDI port monitor like MIDI-OX on your input port, and make sure the keyboard isn't sending anything odd.
 
I also used to run an 1820M, and its MIDI ports were the fastest (PCI-based) I've ever used so that shouldn't be a problem.
 
MIDI buffering shouldn't be an issue, either, as it's not active when you're playing live. It only affects buffering audio from soft synths driven by recorded MIDI.
 
Sure sounds like something going on specifically with TTS-1, but I can't imagine what that would be. This affects all patches?
 
P.S. I've tried all kind of combinations of both RDs sending simultaneously on multiple channels with the TTS-1 receiving All Ports Omni, and I can't produce anything unexpected. The last held note always continues to sustain unless one keyboard sends a Note Off while the other one is holding the same note number, which makes perfect sense but should not be possible with input from only one controller.
