Integrating the TTS-1 Synth

[Ricebug]

I read somewhere that the TTS-1 software synth can be used with NC. How so? I cannot find any instructions for doing so.

Hi, HalfBaked:


From what I can see, TTS-1 is a more or less proprietary soft synth that comes with Cakewalk by Bandlab.


I used Cakewalk 20+ years ago when integrated audio was just starting to happen and soft synths were a thing of science fiction, so I'm not up on the latest versions.


However, TTS-1 seems to be a DXi only General Midi synth -- please, correct me, if I'm wrong. There are a lot of options to fill that need available including the free Synthfont (which Sherry on this forum uses extensively) and many other Google-able ones.


I wonder whether Notation Composer's built-in Notation Software Synth will do the job for you. You can load just about any Soundfont 2 set you like and play 16 channels back on it (depending on the power of your computer).


If you are really in need of TTS-1 specifically (special sounds or something like that), perhaps this page will help you get started.

I hope that helps.


All the best,

I don't care about the sounds, so much as I'm just wanting it to work. I'll check out Sherry's link. Thanx!

Hi friends,


I'm adding the information to all SynthFont related posts that with the Notation Software Synth, as well as the advanced audio capabilities of version 5 and going forward, there is no need to use SynthFont with our software as our synth is actually more flexible and handles more than SynthFont does.


ttfn,
Sherry
