TTS-1

I may have asked this question before, but I don't remember the response if I did. It is probably burried in one of those very long threads.

I know that the TTS-1 audio is to capture the midi data to make it playable by TTS-1 (probably not an accurate description, but I think you know what I mean). The output of this track goes to the sound card, or in my case the Firebox interface.

What is the purpose of TTS-1 midi track? I just opened a project I haven't really started (just imported my Band in a Box version) and noticed I only inserted the audio version of TTS-1. So, I'm wondering if I should add the TTS-1 midi to the project. Most likely I wil be only adding audio files at this point.

Thanks.

EDIT: What are the inputs to the TTS 1..the audio one in this files says the Input is TTS1 Output 1; stereo (or something like that)...What is the input for the midi TTS 1?

Annette, like Bob wrote, and you already know, TTS-1 takes a track with MIDI info in it and turns it into audio, kind of. So a MIDI track is needed, and when you insert the TTS-1 in a project, there is a check box near the top which is checked by default "Create MIDI Source Track". That inserts a new, empty MIDI track with the outputs already directed to the soft synth. That's for people who are writing a new MIDI track. They can play/mouse in that track and hear it from the TTS-1 from the git go. I almost always already have a MIDI track created with data in it, so I have that box unchecked.
So if you want to have the MIDI track inserted before you begin working on the music, make sure that box is checked.

I use a M-Audio midi controller in TTS, is there a way to disable to "touch response" or touch sensitivity.

There's no controls on the midi controller for "touch response". It only has touch sensitivity in MC4, but when I open TTS thru FruityLoops 8 its not touch sensitive. I just hate how FL8 quantizes. I always have to go into the piano roll and manually move every note back one step.

That's because it has nothing to do with the software. It is a function of the controller.
It would appear that Fruity Loops does not respond to keyboard Velocity (touch sensitivity), or the velocity data is not being properly communicated to TTS-1 when connected to FL.
I don't know which controller you have, TC85, but pages 9 and 10 in the Axiom manual show you how to change your keyboard velocity curve (touch sensitivity). You can also assign a fixed value of 64, 100, and 128.
I am not familiar with FL, but in MC, you should be able to select your MIDI clip, and drag the whole thing to the left, or use Process>Nudge for more precise adjustment. This will shift the entire clip in one step.
