Sonar X2 Pro TTS-1 assigning

You can send up to 16 midi tracks to TTS-1, each one can have its own bank, patch, and channel number. There is no setting of a patch within TTS-1 itself, you set that within midi track itself, and it then informs TTS-1 of the patch to use for that channel.

Could you give an example of this? I want to assign/route specific sounds from Dimension Pro or even Rapture to individual 16 channels of the TTS-1.
Keep in mind that I'm importing & working on midi song files.
Thank you

 
OK, but first we need to clarify some concepts across which you'll need to be successful.
 
TTS-1 is itself a sound-generator. you'll drive it either with prerecorded midi, or recording a midi-performance in realtime. However, you cannot use TTS-1 (or any other sound-generator) to drive another - they output audio, not midi.
 
If you are using Rapture or Dim Pro, these generators do not bother to note either channel, bank, or patch, because, unlike TTS-1, they are not multi-timbral; they can handle only one sound.
 
Note: TTS-1 is multi-timbral, it can play 16 instruments simulataneously. DIM Pro is not.
 
 
For Dim-Pro and other one-sound instruments, you use the interface within the instrument to choose the sound or program you want. There should be a midi track assigned to the instrument, and there should also be an audio track assigned to the output of the instrument as well.
 
It might be a good idea for you to peruse the videos available at Sonar University - there are some basic walk-thru videos which can show you how to do these steps. I think this would be best for you. You can reach Sonar University from Cakewalk's main page.
 
 
 
 
 

Thanks for all your help on this... it clarifies that i will need to assign/add 16 individual Dim Pro...or other Soft Synths to each individual track. umm...
I will go back over the tutorials.
