Cakewalk TTS and Roland groove on Sonar Home Studio 6

Are you trying to ask if they can be used outside of sonar?? If thats your question, then No. If you cant get it working, i would review your past thread, theres enough info in there to make it work.

tutorial 8 is your guide here - loook in the help file....yes tts-1 is available, or should be, it should appear in the folder program files>cakewalk>vst plugins, if you did a standard install it should be there. and if you're not aware, there are loads of free vstis better than tts-1, look at www.kvraudio.com - and of course there are much much better paid for ones. tts-1 is basically a GM2 softsynth which is useful for sketching out pieces etc , but you prob won't want to use too many of those sounds in the actual tracks you record...

cool it should appear under the insert menu, or open the synth rack and click on the asterisk type icon, abd then in the menu tts-1 should be there. if you download some plugs from kvr, you'll need to place the .dll file in the folder i mention above, an then restart shs6 - same for vst fx...have fun. i particularly like organone, crystal, superwavep8 and most of the krakli synths - for fx the mda and classic series from kjaerhus are a good start, and the free voxengo plugs are uniformly excellent!!

hey dappa you seen the special this month on rapture?? i think groove synth is only used for the metronome hence why you can't find it.

it loads automatically, you know ifyou go into the metronome dialogue and you can choose different sounds for the metronome, it's the GS playing it, i think....i could be talking balls too though! and CW have started a thread on the producer forum re the special offer..

Hi guys

I am now gatvol and the moer in (South African - had enough and seething).

mgh - thanks for your tips, I looked in the cakewalk>vst plugins and there are few files there, but not cakewalk TTS-1 - what files should be there for a standard installation?

Been through tutorial 8 for the tenth time - when it says the cakewalk tts1 synth should play it does'nt.

I am now convinced there is something wrong with the software, even reinstalled it 2-3 times. Checked if I can reinstall the soft synths only but there is no allowance for this in the software - also checked through the files.

Is this a case of false advertising? The easy way in which the tutrial video does the trick? The normal procedure to get help through cakewalk took almost a week (you can die of frustration in 1 minute) to reply back on my first query, then only to advise me to read a FAQ that I already read, did not help me as it was a soundcard problem.

Damn - "I'm all alone, no one beside me", "but you gotta have friends".

I am sending a copy of this to the normal help support and am insisting they help me properly.

Thanks mate. Have checked all inputs and outputs numerous times according to instructions.

Still convinced a software problem and will check the shared dxi folder tonight when at home.

Ok guys, I starting to get after spending some time again last night. Bottom line is I do all the correct stuff to get my midi linked to Cakewalk TTS and ensured all inputs and outputs are correct. Inserted soft synth and tested CW TTS1 synths ( a number of different sounds). Checked they were being picked up and pressed spacebar (play) to listen - nothing. Armed the tracks for recording - both, only MIDI and pressed R for record - only got my metronome but no synth playing.

Checked and rechecked all connections again. Then opened a file from a recording done by somebody else with CW - checked their connections - and was able to play their tracks.

Am learning a lot but at the great expense of time. mgh - and others, any further suggestions? Maybe not a software problem but a hardware one? Also I do not see a midi input but only an output in my computer? But I assume this is when you install an external midi device.

ORIGINAL: mgh

spacebar is stop dude.
and you can't listen unless there is some midi information for them to pickup. how you trying to record? you got a keyboard/midi controller linked to ur pc?

Spacebar is stop AND start.

What do you mean "armed the tracks for recording - both"? You should only be able to arm the MIDI track for recording. Synth outs don't record.
