OK... I got the project loaded up.

It was looking for Microsoft Wave table   so I had to switch it to my Saffire.... 

Track 1 audio is TTS  

tracks 2,3,4,5 are midi but there is nothing assigned in the channel , Bank, and patch fields.... on playback the meters move but no sound.  Clicking into the CBP fields I have no options in there.... just default which gets me nowhere. 

So I will make some assignments... the project appears to have at least 2 instances of TTS in it.... I've done a few things and nothing gives me sound..... so.....

  I now deleted the audio track and added a new audio track...EDIT TO ADD: deleting the track was not necessary..... just one of my tests... I later deleted the entire project to remove all the things I did to get sound and reloaded it from the memory stick and proceeded  as follows. I wanted to restart with your project just as it was sent. 

I manually inserted TTS as a soft synth into the FX bin of track on...the new audio track.  

NOW.... when I go to the Channel, Bank, and Patch fields I have options available....   So I now select the following fields:

Input is set to OMNI...and this doesn't matter

OUTPUT is set to the TTS-3 synth... the one I added. If I select either of the first two... I get no sound.

Channel is set to TTS channel 1

Bank is the first one in the list 15488 preset normal 0

Patch is PIANO 1 from the drop down


for the next track #3  I use the same output setting.... I set the channel to the NEXT higher number (2)..... select the SAME bank and then choose the PATCH that I wish track 2 to be.....

I repeat that process for tracks 4 &5

 hitting playback gets me going with all the tracks playing. 

I click in the midi track on CLIPS> AUTOMATION> volume default ch 1  I repeat that for all the midi tracks.... 

It all works fine. 

I'm thinking the issue may be related to using the Wavetable synth rather than MANUALLY inserting a TTS synth in the FX bin... because while there was what appeared to be two instances of TTS in the project... selecting either by proper methods produced no sound.  I don't have the wavetable synth so the difference between my DAW and yours appears to be the sound card. I had to assign the Saffire to do sound duties. 

When I insert TTS into the FX bin of track one.... then click the output of a midi track.... I see as possible outputs
1-Saffire
2-Cakewalk TTS-1 1     
3-Cakewalk TTS-1 2
4-Cakewalk TTS-1 3
New DRum Map >

I must choose #4 to get sound. Nothing else works..... I did not try the drum maps.

Greg pointed out that the midi tracks MUST have different midi channels and this is true.   

I would recommend you try inserting TTS into the FX bin..... it will show up as yet another instance of TTS.... #3...and try reassigning the CB&P using it. Then drop in the envelopes and see if that works for you.


As far as I can see the file you sent worked fine once I added TTS in the bin and made the changes to assignment. 

Let us know.

 Well, I figured it out so that both the level and instrument issues are solved. I inserted a tts softsynth into the audio fx bin as suggested. For channel, I put in the according #:default. As for patch, I was then able to insert whatever instrument I wanted to. This is great because now I know how to set up other tracks with various instruments, and perhaps create my own "monster". LOL Thanks so much for the help! BTW, so far as "C" the only choices were (channel#):default. The only choice for bank was "bank---". I didn't have to do anything with envelopes.
