I'm working in Sonar x1.... I think 7 is based on sonar.
 
So in the track inspector, click ALL to show all the options in the inspector.  On the input.... select the midi channel you are using.
 
All the following should be in there...  IN, OUT, CHANNEL. BANK, PATCH
 
IN is the channel in your midi device that it's using to send the data.  This has to be the same as the device or it gets ignored and nothing happens
 
OUT is the synth or other location you want it sent to.
 
CHANNEL is the channel IN TTS that you want this data to go to. You will select the sound/instrument in the patch below.
 
BANK is the bank of instruments to use. Just click on the patch and this loads automatically from the default.
 
PATCH is the specific instrument in the bank you selected.
 
After recording the tracks, hit play and you should hear the instruments you recorded play back. You control the volume in the MC7 tracks

Now if I right click on the gray part on the left that is blank on mine I can insert a track template and insert Instrument but I think its different instruments that the actual tts-1 
 

do you see those 5 options?
 

I got it. It was the view I was looking at. above the midi track it said view with 1 dot and view with 4 dots. I have been using the view with 1 dot. I selected 4 dot view and clicked on midi track and here it is. I switched the input to my midi controller my output to tts-1, bank 15488 preset  normal 0 and chose my instrument. It was just a matter of finding that view.    I see their are 9 different preset normal banks  and 6 more after that. I always pick 0. Does it matter? or is it just different instruments and noises?
 

How do I mark this as solved?
 

Soundcenter the same way but select Cakewalk sound center 1 for output?

Go to your first post in this thread and edit/add solved to the title.

Right, but it can only use 1 MIDI track at a time instead of 16 like TTS-1.

Glad you got it.

Thanks for everybody's help
