OK, so I created a new project. I created four MIDI tracks by recording one pass of some keyboard fiddling, and pasted the data into the additional tracks. I inserted four different synths -- Dimension Pro, Rapture, Session Drummer, and sfz+. I let each create a Simple Instrument track. I then assigned assigned each MIDI track to one of the synths. All voices play, no problem, just as I would reasonably hope and expect. I can solo each one and hear it in isolation, no problem.
Then I go back to one of my existing projects with pre-existing MIDI data, with most parts assigned to the TTS-1. I insert Dimension Pro and assign one of the tracks to it. No sound from that track. I've uploaded that track at
if anyone wants to open it up and see.
So I start to wonder if it's the presence of the TTS-1 that's the problem. So I take another pre-existing MIDI track and start inserting and assigning synths like in my first test project described above. Again, all voices play, together or when soloed. I insert a TTS-1 track. It, too, plays fine. Then I insert a sfz+ track. No sound.
I do seem to have gotten a lot further than before, and the results are encouraging, but I'm still puzzled why the Dimension Pro doesn't make any sounds in the one project and why the sfz+ doesn't in the other. I'm sure it's not just random happenstance, there must be
something I'm doing wrong...
