That's not exclusive to Cakewalk or TTS-1.

Imported/opened MIDI files can contain MIDI events other than note on and note off, such as MIDI CC controllers or patch changes. So playing the MIDI file back unedited will likely override changes that you have temporarily made to the instrument, as the instrument responds to the time-stamped events in the file.

Suggest reading up on how to use the MIDI "Event List" view in Cakewalk, as you will need some type of MIDI editor to alter the MIDI file if you want to make any changes.

Edit: to simply change the instrument you should use the suggestion in the response to your other post on this topic. 

Use the MIDI track inspector. http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Inspectors.3.html#1220713

Thank you! Very, very insightful, I will check this out. What if I wanted to make this kind of "increasing volume over time" effect using TTS-1 by myself? How can I do that?

The only time one should import a MIDI file is when adding it to an existing project.

Instead of importing try using File > Open

Before opening the file make sure nothing is selected as a MIDI output device in preferences.

Do this will automatically add TTS-1 to the project when opening MIDI files.

To change instruments use the drop down (instruments are just below "C" in the image) in either the inspector or track header.

When I change anything in the TTS-1 it goes back to default once I play the track. How do I deal with that?

Hi, so I just opened a .MIDI file on Cakewalk in order to learn more about TTS-1 and I have a couple questions.

First of all, they made it so one of the notes increases its volume over time like on the gif I uploaded. How did they achieve that?

They didn't change anything in the effects, not even the Attack.

I have another question regarding the changing of the preset. For example if I try change it from "Syn.Strings2" to "Organ 1" it stays on "Organ 1" only until I play the track. Once the music kicks in it automatically sets the preset back to "Syn.Strings2" as if it was set to do so in its core or something. Can I do something about that?

Edit: I just found out that it's not just about the Presets, it's the same for any change I'd like to make.

Thanks in advance.
