Like I said, the menu bars is the same menu bar that all software uses, Once customized it is static and anchors the software. The same with preferences. You wouldn't want that to change all the time when you say, load older projects, you want it to stay the same. 
 
Not sure why you want the TTS-1 to become audio, it uses very little resources so you normally just leave it as MIDI until export. I sure it can be bounced but might need more than one destination track if your using multi instruments. 
 
You sound like you might benefit from picking up Scott's Power book...it will answer your questions in an easy to understand way. You can also search the user manual. 

NEW QUESTION:
 
I'm not able to bounce a TTS synth track to audio, but I can bounce any other synth track. Am I missing something? Is there a workaround other than exporting the track to audio?

 
Yes, you are missing something. You bounce each soft synth the same way, when they are set up the same "EXACT" way. 
 
Make sure all your gain stages and signal chains for the TTS are correct. Then you can bounce it. 
Who know what's going on with your settings and routing.

• It may be as simple as your export source.
• Or it may be as simple as the outputs are not going to your export source.
• It can also be as simple as you not selecting 'ALL' associated tracks with that TTS synth
• Or it can be as simple as the synths internal routings.

I see. the SoundCenter tracks are "bounceable", but it doesn't seem that the TTS tracks are. I do have my TTS tracks calling to an output track. The error message I get says:
 
"The specified selection did not contain any audio data."
 
This window appears twice back-to-back. Okay -- does it mean audio data "literally" audio, or any audio period? I just want to be able to convert a TTS track in an audio clip like I can with any other synth track.

I'd also recommend Sonar Power! Very well written!

You can. You have to select the MIDI track and audio track. If it's in a folder, open the folder and make sure both are selected. To bounce, you need the data that plays the synth, and the synth the audio provides.
 
The TTS-1 can bounce like any other synth in Sonar.
