Thanks for the explanation. My hurried reading of the message did not seem to imply it was only a test tryout, so I will watch for the final release.

There is a workaround to this problem that I found, which is to simply add the TTS-1 instrument to the project and now all the midi tracks point to the TTS-1 and the TTS-1 points to Master. The only drawback is that the general midi instruments are not labelled with their common names, only numbers, so you need a reference chart if you don't know them by heart. If you don't want your TTS-1 on top, then you could select all the instrument tracks first, label them and then add TTS-1 before starting to add your midi information to each track.

When I started cakewalk I was notified after the plugin check in a window on the bottom right that the update was available and that I would have to update to this release soon or cakewalk would not initiate once the paid version is released.

Thanks, I have watched the tutorials and many other introductory videos. Nothing explains why my midi tracks in a saved project the output has changed other than the update and I don't know if this is correctable.

Very novice user here. Just updated to 2023.09 as it stated it will be the last update and application must be updated to this release in order to ensure it will activate in the future. Opened up a project just started the other day and the Midi tracks now do not point to speakers as output, just show a generic 1 on the output label. Cannot get anything through to speakers when I hit play, or if I try to input through an attached midi keyboard. I can see activity on the meter for tracks I have already have midi information but no output to speakers, and there is nothing happening if I try and input from a midi keyboard. If I click on the output icon it just lists "New drum map" and "Drum map manager...". The Audio tracks still show the output as Master and play fine. Please note this is when I select to add an Instrument track rather than dragging in one of the installed vst3 plug in instruments or cakewalk instruments. I am just selecting generic instruments in this project. The vst3 and cakewalk instruments seem to work fine and show out put as master, it is the generic instruments that have lost focus.
