When you insert the plug-in, tick All Synth Audio Outputs: Stereo, MIDI Source and Synth Track Folder. When you first insert TTS‑1 into your project, avoid using a Simple Instrument Track, because the TTS‑1 supports 16 MIDI channels and provides four audio outputs.

Besides, many of the sounds still hold up after all these years - so, here are some of my favourite TTS‑1 tips. Yet to dismiss it would be a mistake, because the TTS‑1 has a number of really useful mobile-friendly features: WASAPI's low latency with a laptop's internal sound card, the virtual touchscreen or QWERTY controller, low CPU footprint, and multitimbral operation. It won't function at 88.2kHz sample rates, and it's only available in DXi format. It comes bundled for free with BandLab, and has a user interface that looks like a Ready Player One concept art reject. It's over 14 years old and still on version 1.00. The TTS‑1 synth may be old, but it's still got some power! The Mi.1 does appear in the Windows/Settings and works okay with MIDIBerry on it's own.You can assign any TTS‑1 instrument to one of four individual outputs. Here's the problem: When I open Sonar, the Mi.1 doesn't appear as a MIDI IN/OUT option. As we load the tracks, across go the PC signals and we aren't faced with scrolling through soundbanks and patches. What I want to do is transmit PC messages to our keytars from dedicated MIDI tracks in Sonar.

I have also installed the MIDIBerry application. The Edge has Bluetooth capability and for the older AX-Synth, I have bought a Quinnico Mi.1 BLE MIDI transmitter and receiver. Outboard of this my musical partner and I have Roland FA-06 and 07 workstations linked by USB to my laptop (Windows 10 Home), but for real fun I have a Roland AX-Synth and he has an Roland AX-Edge. I have an 80s synthpop tribute band and am using Cakewalk Sonar Producer v8.3.1 as a live DAW, with Setlists of songs loaded in sequence to play-on-press. Newbie here but with 30 odd years of mild MIDI use.
