Strange effect in TTS1 bass
I'm working on a midi project using GPO4 sounds which doesn't include electric bass. So I put one instance of TTS1 in, auditioned the bass sound - which was exactly what I wanted. But when I play it with my imported track (from Sibelius), it has a wobbly, shimmering sound to it. I similarly loaded another instance of TTS1 for piano and it sounds fine. I can't see anywhere any effects have been added, and I had added none in Sib., nor, as I say, are there any on the piano I'm using from TTS1. I just want the bass to sound like it did when I auditioned it - as the piano does. Thanks.

Hmm, well I've had similar things happen, which I've attributed to MIDI cross-talk of the sort that MIDI controller on one track is mistakenly directed to another. Since GPO instruments use CC1 for volume, my theory is that the TTS-1 bass track is mistakenly being given CC1 data, but that synth, like most synths, uses CC1 for modulation - so the wobbly sound is a large degree of vibrato modulation - not often appropriate for a bass sound of course.

If this helps unravel the mystery any, I am using a piano in one instance of TTS1, and the bass in another. If I play just the piano, it's fine. If I play the bass and piano together, they're both wobbly (and as I said, the bass is wobbly by itself).

Still, just to be sure, insert a CC1 event with a value of 0 in each effected track.

If I play the bass and piano together, they're both wobbly (and as I said, the bass is wobbly by itself). This does sound like a problem I've dealt with, and it's possibly an issue with Aria, not necessarily with Sonar. The same problem happens for me in Sonar 8, 8.5, and X1, and it always involves Aria. As I mentioned before, it seems that the MIDI controller data on one MIDI channel somehow mistakenly gets applied to a different synth. You're saying "wobbly"---I'm sure you mean vibrato. That's MIDI controller 1, and it's the one of the controllers I've had in this cross-talk scenario I'm talking about. I'll have CC1 data on one track, and it's picked up on another track. CC64, sustain, is the other controller I've had this happen with. Here's my work-around - You need to try it to see if it fixes what you're talking about: In the PRV, one at a time, open the tracks being adversely. Open the bass track. Ask to have a controller pane for CC1. Insert values of zero in the track, a lot of them. This will keep re-setting the controller to being off. Do the same in the piano track. Play all the tracks together, and see if the vibrato/wobble stops. Randy B.

Randy, I tried to "spread the blessing", but here you are, back for more punishment:) Maybe it's called "vibrato", but it's slow and wobbly - like unstable. After much searching, I finally figured out what a PRV is, and in Piano Roll View (Duh!), opened the bass trk, went up to Insert>Series of Controllers (is this even the right place?), and opened that - and that's where I got (even more) lost. "Ask to have a controller pane for CC1 - I don't see where there's anyplace to "ask" for that, or insert any values. By "lots of them", do you mean a series of several 0s (when I find where to enter them), or several controllers with an 0 in each? Sorry to be so dense. By the way, since GPO4 doesn't have a bass, I was proud of myself that I found another synth with the bass sound I wanted, inserted it, and played it! But then this brought me right back to earth. If there's some exotic problem that exists, I'll find it. Dave

Hi, Charlie - Your question is a good sub-topic, I should think. The TTS-1 is a General MIDI synth module. That puts it in a meat n' potatoes, plain bread n' butter category of synths, and so people can tend to disregard it. But it's a very good GM module, and that's why you've heard people talk about it as something worthy of attention. General MIDI - that old MIDI protocol which designated a standardized list of instruments and sounds. Instrument #1 is piano, for instance. All GM modules had to follow the proscribed protocol, so that MIDI files created under the GM spec would be compatible with all GM modules. You have a MIDI file which needs piano, drums, bass, guitar - that same MIDI file is going to play on any GM module and always play the intended instruments, since they've all been assigned a particular instrument #. It's very handy that Sonar has TTS-1 as one of its synths - a mult-timbral synth at that, because it follows the GM protocol, and also because it has a very good sounding set of instruments, and the menu is large - lots of good sounds and instruments can be found there. The short answer as to what TTS-1 "does"--well, it's a synth, and so it's a library of instruments and sound effects - what it does is provide a good sound palette for filling out a Sonar project, or at least sketching one in. I always use the TTS-1's piano as a starting point as I work on composing a piece. Later I usually replace the TTS-1 with other synths, but another thing very handy about the TTS-1 is that it's extremely undemanding on your CPU. It delivers a lot for very little computer power. That gives you an idea. It's a very good general purpose multi-timbral synth. Randy B.

If there's some exotic problem that exists, I'll find it. Dave Ah, Dave - Well as you can see, there really is so much you need to study, and there's a limit to how much we can paraphrase things from the manual for you. Happily, the X1 PDF manual is very thorough - it has to be high on your reading list. The Piano Roll View is the very heart of MIDI production in Sonar. It's where you do all your editing. Under Edit>New Value Type, you ask for a controller pane to display Modulation, MIDI Controller 1. You insert values of zero, with your cursor you enter an event at the bottom of that lane - and you insert as many of those needed to keep CC1 off. And yes, I mean a series of zero values of that one controller--It's logical. I'm talking about the control for vibrato--that one controller - you need to zero it out as work-around for this unfortunate MIDI cross-talk problem. You're still describing vibrato, a slow vibrato. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you're getting that bug where the CC data from one synth is being wrongly applied to another, and I think the bug is in Aria, not Sonar, but I can't be certain of that either. A combination of how the two things interact perhaps. Side note - of course there isn't a bass in GPO--that's an orchestral library with all the instruments of the traditional orchestra, plus several extras like piano and harp which aren't part of the traditional orchestra. But if you want Garritan instruments in the realm of jazz and pop i.e. bass, sax, guitar etc--then you need to look into JABB (Jazz and Big Band), CoMB (Concert and Marching Band), and World-which has ethnic instruments from around the world. So, back to the topic - there really is a limit to how much can be explained in these off-the-top-of-our-head posts in replies to questions. The manual has to be gone over thoroughly. I know that over 90% of what I figured out about using soft synths and Sonar came from my own study and experimentation. Some good tips were gleaned from online forums like this one at Sonar, but the most useful info came only after I was up and running and had understood the basics from my own study. Nobody can explain everything you need to know in these replies. Randy B.

hi chuck, what i've found it to be good for is that you can send all the midi tracks from a general midi file to just one instance of it and it will play them all, even drums.. Good reply, M@B - Like any GM (General MIDI) module, the TTS-1 automatically plays the correct instruments in a GM MIDI file, because those files have patch change info which the TTS-1 correctly interprets--as per my earlier post. Piano is instrument #1 - the MIDI file sends out a patch change "please use instrument #1"--and the module responds with the right instrument. RB

Randy - The OP has since refined his definition of the problem as a slow wobble so it's also possible that instead of a ModWheel problem he either has a chorus effect on one of the instruments or, since they're from two different libraries, there's an issue of fine tuning between the two. djayers1 - open the TTS-1 synth and look at your bass channel. One of the knobs at the top is for Chorus. Check to be sure that its value is set to 0. Does that fix anything? If this is a matter of tuning - many sample libraries contain slightly, or not so slightly, out of tune samples which creates a more realistic sound - you have several choices. First, if the entire instrument is consistently out of tune, add a Pitch Wheel event (in the same manner as Randy described above re: Mod Wheel) at the beginning of the track to compensate for this. The amount will depend on how large the difference is, but you'll have a scale of between 0 and 8192 both positive and negative. A value of 10, for instance, isn't going to make an audible difference. Second, you can find the offending notes and correct for them whenever they appear in your music. This is very tedious, but can be effective. Third - learn to live with it.

M@ B thanks randy, as are yours and then some. Why, thanks, M@B - nice post to see in my email in-box, thanks for it. Bvideo - You're right that the problem described on this thread could be due to something other than unintended vibrato. Without hearing a recording, we're guessing - and even hearing might not pinpoint things. Wobbly - sounds like vibrato, but shimmering - that sounds like phasing. It's still mysterious really. RB

Randy, I sense I've stretched you thin:) Sorry. That's why I said earlier that you could "bail out" at any time and I wouldn't be offended - you've already helped me so much. And I still say that. Let someone else carry the ball unless a topic really grabs you. In spite of appearances and my self deprecating humor, I do read the book, but it always seems so incomplete and sketchy to me, and often assumes other knowledge - particularly computer wise, or just general logic of how these things work. Somehow there's a disconnect in the older generations (me). Or, with so much to absorb, I did read it - it just didn't sink in. I most always have done a search before I post a thread. But as in this case, it seems apparent (as I suspected up front - having done such a straight forward process before with TTS1, and without a problem) by comments of some of the people who have responded to this - as well as your own diagnosis, that there is an exception - a problem, not covered or readily searched in the book. As for recognizing the abbreviation - there are so many, along with so much other new info that hasn't really sunk in (that younger people seem to get more intuitively) that it just got past me. "I know that over 90% of what I figured out about using soft synths and Sonar came from my own study and experimentation": some people are just more gifted in electronics, and computers - my strength is arranging. One gets overwhelmed with info - particularly a type of info that is so foreign to me, and with few areas of knowledge of this kind of thing to cross reference or relate the info to. I could never do this by myself, but with a few boosts here and there, I'm making it - same way I did in Sibelius - which is now a great tool for me. If I must thoroughly (at least more than I have) absorb the book before proceeding, I'd never get this. But together with the book, and help like you and others have given, I know I'm light years ahead of where I'd be otherwise. And the help need not be long paragraphs - often just pointing to where or in what category I can find the info. This is one area I think there is a lot of room for improvement: a more detailed index or glossary would help. Sometimes I can't even find any word anywhere relating to my question. Or if they do list a topic, it doesn't include my point - even though its an obviously related point. I found in Sib. that sometimes important issues that many were asking were not included in the book - which forced us to contact them. Because of me not being as clear as I could, I'm afraid I caused you more work to write the paragraph on GPO - I did understand that, I was just exalting that I was able to add the missing bass sound from TTS1. With your clarification on the controller, I'll head back to the "mines" and see what I can do. In any case, THANKS for all your help, and if I ask too many questions, please just let them pass. Appreciatively, Dave

Narrowed the problem? I have now eliminated GPO4 from the project (to try to narrow the problem down), and I am using just TTS1. I still get the shimmering/wobbly vibrato. If I go into View>Events and zero all the instances of modulation, the bass plays correctly - not wobbly. But there are a million to zero out, and in all the other tracks too (if I use TTS1 in all). Is there a way to filter all the modulations, and zero them all at once - at least in each track at a time? We may have at least narrowed part of the problem to the way Sib. is sending the midi files. But not all the problems: why did I not have the problem with any of the ARIA tracks (also Sib. trks)?

Try this: Click on the track in the track view so the clips in the track are highlighted. Then, select Edit/Select/By Filter.. In the dialog box that appears, click on "None" so nothing is ticked, then tick Control and enter "1" as both the minimum and maximum values and then click on OK. Now hit the DEL key - all the CC#1 events will be removed from the clips in the highlighted track.
Cheers, Gary. Current configuration: Core i3 Laptop / 8GB RAM; Sonar Platinum (replaced with REAPER); Roland Quad Capture interface; Alesis Micron; Roland XP30; Akai Mini MPK; Akai S2000

Hey, Dave - Don't worry about me, I'm doing fine. I only join in on threads that are of interest to me. I'm just anxious for you to get more up to speed, so pardon me when I sound a bit impatient. But I'm with you, I'll keep up as I have time. SO - regarding this problem, it was vibrato being added to the bass, as I suspected. Gary's given you a slick way to clear out unwanted MIDI controller data. BE ADVISED however - that the reason you have all that CC1 data in the tracks is because they were created using GPO in Sibelius. CC1 is GPO's volume control, and all that data is essential for your tracks to play back correctly through GPO. Randy B.

Bingo, Gary, that worked. I will eventually get the GPO jazz version as Randy suggested so I can work completely in GPO if I want - which as I begin to use these other synths maybe won't want to. But with what I just learned, I think I can begin to mix and match anyway. But with what Randy said about those controllers being for GPO, maybe the mix and match won't be that great either. In any case, I don't want to get into buying new sounds until I get the "lay of the land" in this, and maybe I'll find out there are more good sounds here than I realize. I really like the bass. Thanks. Dave

Thanks. Dave Dave, something very important came up with your original query in this thread, and I want to spell it out to make sure you and anyone reading this thread gets it: --MIDI tracks are not as universally interchangeable as it might seem they should be. The basic, most essential data, which boils down to the notes involved - that can be played interchangeably with synths, but very quickly one finds out that each synth/sampler/instrument is going to require different data to make it be a custom fit for that particular synth. In this case, GPO tracks are driven by CC1 data - modulation. That controls the volume in GPO instruments. But that is contrary to the basic MIDI spec. Modulation was intended to control vibrato - but as can be seen, it doesn't necessarily have to be mapped that way. The programmers for the Garritan Libraries decided to use CC1 for volume - Fine, --but that means that if we're using tracks with all that data designed for GPO and the other Garritan Libraries, and we try to run a different sound source with it - we're very likely to get very unintended results. The bass in TTS-1, like most other basses in any other synth/sampler, is going to use CC11 and/or C7 for volume control. Maybe the user wants to apply a bit of vibrato on a few notes here and there, but that's not very common. When vibrato is wanted, CC1 is the controller to use. But if the track hasn't been adapted specifically for that synth - like in this case, one can wind up with a track full of CC1 which was meant for volume, but this synth reads it as vibrato, and the results are the totally "wobbly" results you originally had. So, "mix and match" is fine as long as you realize that as soon as you play a MIDI track recorded with one synth, and you're using it now with a different synth - you're very likely going to need to adapt that track in order to make it work with the new synth. In the Piano Roll View, one can take the data from one MIDI controller lane, cut it, and paste it into a different one. This is advanced MIDI usage, but isn't actually difficult to do. I do it often. I'll have a synth which needs CC7 for volume, and the original track has CC1 for volume - Fine, I cut the data from the CC1 lane and paste it into the CC7 lane - the transformation is done in the easiest way available in Sonar, though there are different ways to do it, like the "edit by filter" approach Gary explained. The point is--MIDI data is not universal. You always have to adapt it to the particular instrument you're using at a given moment. -- Of course all this is avoided if the original work is all done in Sonar in the first place. Then you're recording the MIDI data appropriate for each instrument in the first place, and it doesn't need to be adapted. Randy B.
