TTS1 no playback?

Can you see the notes in the track after you have recorded them?

Super G -Yes the little midi bars representing notes are in the track.
GlennP- I have the TTS1 GUI up but see no place on it to set systems/Options/ output.

Maybe I need to go right back to setting up a track?
I just went to the browser and chose insert synth/TTS1 and ok to the simple instrument track.
It created a track with parameters to set.
Input = Alesis Omni
Output=my sound card (BR800)
Midi Channel 1 (set for sax, and it plays)
Bank = 15488 preset normal 0
Patch = none

I think this may have something to do with the settings in your track inspector.  You need to set the MIDI channel with the drop down menu under the FX bin to access the different channels in TTS-1.
 
Have you used multitimbral synths in X1 before?  I only ask this because I don't want to be giving you advice that you already understand and waste your time.

I don't think System thing is anything to do with it.
 
Make sure the MIDI tab is selected in the Inspector.
 
Click on the "C" under the FX bin and choose which channel of the TTS-1 you want that track to access.
 
Alter the sound in TTS-1 by left clicking on the part's name (Piano1, by default, on all tracks) and choosing your sound from Presets, wind, etc.
 
If you want to use another sound, insert a MIDI track, select TTS-1 as output at the bottom, click on "C" again and choose another TTS-1 channel, and so on.
 
I hope that helps.
 
It's been a long time since I've used TTS-1, so I may not be 100 per cent right.
 
Shout back how you get on, or PM me if I can help more.
 
Oh, and don't expect the brass to sound like "The Phoenix Horns" or "Birth of the Cool".

You selected "Simple Instrument Track" when you inserted TTS-1, yes?
 
Set input to "AllInputsMIDIOmni"
 
Set output to "TTS-1"
 
Set MIDI Channel to "1" or "omni"
 
Having looked at your settings listed above, I think the parameter I've written in bold is the problem.
 
 
If that doesn't help, try Re-inerting TTS-1 and shift-dragging MIDIclip to it, and repeating abve.
 
 
It's gone 2A.M. here, so I'm off to bed. Hope you sort it out

yep outputs to tts-1 (Inspector view)and driver settings to 44.1- but no playback sound.
Here's my setup
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24683934/tts1.jpg
Note there is no option to output to tts1 in the track header list.
Only in the Inspector view.
The meter jumps when a midi note is passed but no sound.
If I play a key on the controller a note is played.

When I first plugged in my Alesis to the USB port, it just said "found the device" but I never had to install any driver. Could that be part of this or would that be normal?


Is there a preferable soft synth to TTS-1 for horns and keys that is included in X1 producer Expanded? I hear several say they don't use it.

If TTS-1 is working when you play it, it has nothing to do with setting your project to 44.1  Just out of interest, is your project set to 44.1?
 
I have never found Dim Pro unstable, and use it all the time.  I'm not saying that some people don't have issues, but the majority are fine.
 
I'm still thinking about what may be causing your problems, and will post back later.

If you look at the inspector (usually docked on left - press "I" if it's not there), there ar two Tabs - "MIDI" and "Audio" at the bottom.
 
If you click the audio Tab, at the bottom left it should display the track number, and above that the Output, which should be set to "Master".  I leave Input as "AllInputsOmni".
 
You set the Input and output by left clicking and choosing the appropriate option from the drop down menu.
 
If you click the "MIDI" Tab, the Output should be set to 'a number' & "Cakewalk TTS-1".
 
 
Did you try re-inserting TTS-1 and shift-dragging your MIDI onto new track?  I know people have reported some odd behavior from simple instrument tracks before, so it's worth a try.

If you are using instruments tracks don't. Simply use the browser to create a soft synth folder and have the synth on its own track. You can have the  MIDI track made by this process but its not necessary. If you have a track for MIDI record some data into it or use MIDI loops. Be sure that that MIDI track outs to the TTS-1 synth but also be sure to set the channel to 1 on that track. In TTS-1 select a patch for the first channel.  Now try to play back and see what happens. 

The MIDI track should show MIDI activity in the MIDI meters and the audio trackfrom the TTS-1 should show audio happening on its meters. You should hear something if you have that audio track routed to your sound card or master buss. 

If you have questions please ask.  

Ok, Thanks for keeping at this guys. I think you got it.
Starting clean.
Set Buffers to 500 (It was 50 in attempts to reduce latency.)
I suspect this is the root cause because I was successful in the end.
Here's my process just in case I missed something.
1. Erased all midi tracks and synths.
2. Browser, Insert Synth, Cakewalk TTS1, enter
3. Options popup, Simple Instrument track, Synth property Page and Recall Assignable Controls are enabled, enter as ok
4. TTS1 pops up and a track with a keyboard icon is installed
      4a-The track header has I=Omni, O= Master, C=none, B=Bank with no selections, P= none.
      4b-The Inspector- 
Midi tab has I=Omni (changed to Allinputs Omni)  & O=2CkwlkTTS1-1
Audio tab has I = Allinputs omni and O= Master.
5. Play the keyboard using the default piano and it plays.
6. switch windows to here to write this
7. switch back to sonar and it no longer plays thru keyboard.WTF???
8. play the song, and the keyboard now works again. whew.
9. click TTS1 CH1 sound and change to Alto Sax., It plays the sax. yay.
10. set track to record, hit record and it does leave the little MIDI deer droppings indicating it recorded midi.
11. playback and it PLAYS!!
12. do a second track and it plays too. 
I'm off to the races.
Thanks so much guys. It was all about which one of the gazillion settings needed tweaking. Simple. Lol
