What does TTS-1 stand for?

Perhaps we as Sonar users should all know it...

Acronym for 'Twelve Tone Systems' if I recall my history correctly.
Don't know what the '1' actually refers to.
 
Carry on....

Its means 'time to sleep' or 'text to speech' or better yet, I think it means "Total Tone Synth 1"
Or i could just be full of $hhit and there is no actual meaning of the synth.
 
Just pick one and go with it, no matter what you pick, the synth will not change it sounds :)

Twelve Tone Systems was once the name of the company that made Cakewalk.  Now Cakewalk is the company that makes Sonar.

I believe TTS-1 is Twelve Tone System.

The  "-1" indicates the instance number..... that would mean that TTS-1 equals the first instance of the synth
 
If you were to add a second instance of TTS, you would see it indicated as TTS-2  and so on for the number of individual instances you have of TTS

Very good.... But with the new paradigm, it'll probably thought of as TTS-1 2X
 
(Sorry)...
 
I believe the line went something like this:
Twelve Tones made the MIDI Sequencer Cakewalk
Later Cakewalk Pro Audio, etc.
Then made Cakewalk the company name (tho still owned by Twelve Tones Systems) who released
Sonar and the others
Then Roland bought..... Cakewalk? Does Greg H. still own twelve tones or is that what was bought by Roland???

alas... you are correct.... so maybe the -1 is TTS software version one....and it was so good, and so perfect that they stopped at that point......?

By close observation of the original logo then, I would guess that "Twelve Tone" is a metaphorical response to the fact that the program can actually produce a full octave (12 keys) of sound.
 
While this may seem excessively limited, by mathematical algorithmic manipulation, all one needs to do is transpose any one of those 12 notes by a value of... 12 to get a higher or lower octave.

Afaik, the "TTS" does refer to Twelve Tone Systems, the former company name of Cakewalk.
 
Probably because TTS-1 has always been an OEMed Cakewalk/Sonar- bundled version of Roland's Hypercanvas GM softsynth plug-in product (replacing the earlier VSC softsynth).

Maybe Cakewalk was also planning to add their version of Edirol Orchestral to Sonar under the name of TTS-2 and there was one more Edirol soft synth (I forgot the name) so that could've been TTS-3?
I used to use Edirol Orchestral when I was on XP and still have the installation disc, but since it's not supported on Win 7 I'm not using it anymore.

Its not bad for a General MIDI synth. If I start with a MIDI file from the web that's using GM patches, I will use the TTS-1 to check it out and then if I want to make it sound better, I'll replace the sounds with other synths.
