TTS1 Patch Changes Not Remembered

Another noob question here. When using a synth capible of multiple parts like TTS1 I find that when making changes to a patch, like volume, it will not remember any changes. When I hit play again it reverts back to whatever the setting had been. Is there a simple way, or any way, to handle this? My short term work-around was to bounce it to an audio track so I could control it's volume from there.

reset the controlor on stop

I'm using Sonar 7 and I don't have that option under Option>Project>Midi Out. Do you know where else I might find it?

I've been successful at making changes to a patch it's self like the filter, envelope, tuning etc, saving those as a user bank and calling those up but when it comes to the volume I just can't get anything to stick. Doesn't matter if I make volume changes in the TTS1 or from the track view.

thanks ronniebuss2 & edentowers,

Zero Controllers When Play Stops that's what i was trying to translate from my SONAR 5 version(im using french language)


you find this setting box,under option-project-midi out (then just below the midi machine control MMC)

and yep it's only available when a project is active(open),& also this setting is only per project.

ah man,

i dont know it was not afecting the volume,that's not so cool.

i dont really use often the TTS 1 soft anymore not especially due to that small "bug",
but because i way prefer the use of the soundfonts using SFZ free soundfont player.


i will experiment with the TTS 1 again soon.(for now im out of idea "workaround" to fix this issue)

maybe someone will come shim on in.

edit:(i seem to remember a tweak that can be done on the TTSSEQ.INI file.
it was something like send reset to contoler or something like that.
i will re-read the README.RTF this infos is on it.

ok i found the infos on the readme RTF,

here it is from the readme.RTF:

[quote:
SendResetsToSoftSynths=<0 or 1> (default=0)
 
This new TTSSEQ.INI variable controls (globally) whether SONAR sends MIDI controller resets to DXi’s.

This variable should be set in the [OPTIONS] section. Legal values are:

0 (default): Resets are not sent to DXi’s
1: SONAR will send MIDI controller resets to DXi’s. This is what SONAR already does for hardware synths.
For example:

[OPTIONS]
SendResetsToSoftSynths=1


If you are freezing synth tracks that have MIDI controller messages, setting this variable to TRUE (1) will ensure that synths will have their MIDI controllers reset before a freeze operation.

‘Zero Controllers When Play Stops’ Is Not Applied When Freezing Synths

Please note that the global ‘Zero Controllers when Play Stops’ setting is not applied when freezing soft synths. This means that the current state of a continuous controller when play is stopped can cause unexpected results when freezing a synth.

If you experience this issue, rewind the project before freezing the synth.

i will add this setting on the TTSSEQ.INI to see if that work,& report back.

I thought there was a solution/workaround for this. Might be here:

I think I may just ditch the TTS1 and find another synth.

That's an option, however, I like the TTS-1. Its a multi-timbral, General MIDI synth and has some really good sounds. I use it a lot and I don't have any problems with it holding my settings.

How are you changing the volume; on the TTS-1 or on the MIDI track?

Make sure you don't have more than one track using the same MIDI channel or they will override each other.

I had this problem. Turns out I had a Midi Track and a Synth Track, and the Sonar console volume slider on the Midi Track was controlling the TSS-1 volume. This is opposite of most of my other synths.
