TTS-1 softsynth

Please clarify your question. The TTS-1 track doesn't have any note information that can be edited. All the note values are in the individual midi tracks.

Perhaps you are referring to making edits to the parameters and effects inside TTS-1?

If so, and if memory serves, you'll need to assign an audio output for each "part" in TTS-1 you want to have differing effects. TTS-1 has 16 available parts, but can output only 4 seperate audio outs. Therefore if you are utilizing more than four parts, you'll have to group some of them.

There is more to it than this, but I'm sure if you play around with it, you'll find out how to make it work.

I need some tts-1 help now, yes i'm back, lol. I'm looking at the tts-1 and i see what looks like 16 tracks or places for instrument voices. So i set one as piano, bass, drum, etc. i get them all set up and then go to my track and all i can hear is the first instrument or the first "track". how do i get the tts-1 set up so that i can hear all of the voices that i programmed into it? thank you.

Make sure each midi track goes to a separate TTS-1 channel.

If you have inserted TTS-1 from the Insert Softsynth menu, you will have an audio track labelled TTS-1 which is blank, not like the midi tracks which show notes. Each midi track will have an out put which you select as TTS-1 rather than Midi. Then, in the "channel" box, from the dropdown menu, select Cakewalk TTS-1 Channel 1 for your 1st midi track, Cakewalk TTS-1 Channel 2 for your second and so on. Each midi track should also have its own instrument selected. When you play back, each TTS-1 channel handles only the instrument selected for that channel. Any more questions, let me know.

I claim innocence. I was just responding. I must admit, however, that I failed to note that tynadnigh wasn't the original poster.

To clarify, I change the track, instrument, to lets say, a distorted guitar, instead of a jazz guitar. While the song is playing, this works fine. I stop the song and start the song, again, and the track reverts to the original jazz guitar. I can not get it to stay on the instument I select, even after I save the setting.

ITS A BUG! thats why you cannot set it in TTS-1. They supposed to be a work around which is to save it in a patch. I think the patch has to be saved as none. But next when you open Sonar you will have to change the none for the new project. Cakewalk will not be fixing this. Unless our new company wants to actually do something about it.

I will have to try it. It will make all the difference in the world if this actually works.

you have to change the patch in the track properties so that sonar can save it.

That's exactly what I explained earlier on in this thread, but somehow it got overlooked.

if you changed it from the track properties and then it changes back to something else then you have a PATCH CHANGE in the MIDI file EVENTS.  check the EVENT list.
