    I helped a guy named Lance port this to the HP 2000 in the 70's and just discovered I still have the source code.

    We ran it on an HP3000 ported to MPE. I wanted to port it to PC Fortan 77 but it used the EXEC function and I didn't know how to deal with it at the time. I too have the original source code. I also played the 550 version which was one of the few that was actually a nice extension.

    Until you've left Spelunkers Today at Witt's End, you've never played an adventure game. I wouldn't let my kids play even Sierra games until they finished Adventure 350 (Colossal Cave.) Did that make me a bad dad? You betcha!

  2. I only see Split disappear when I have numerous take lanes and have them open and I then try to split the main window. If take lanes are open, you have to split the take itself in it's lane. Collapse the takes and Split will reappear for the main window for that track. Automation shouldn't affect Split. I split with automation all the time.

  3. If checked, what I've found is that (it appears) Windows will attempt to take control of the interface even if nothing appears to be asking for control and causes glitches and noise spikes. I never got the impression Cakewalk would get exclusive control. It's like it works backwards from what I expect.

    Maybe the developers can shed some light on this.

    Well, not with this attitude. 

    Sorry, there was no attitude intended. I was hoping to get your input on why TTS is such a problem for many of us. You said it's not if we route it properly. Can you be more specific? And what is the wrong way to do it. I normally route it to the main bus but might add some effects,

    It doesn't crash when you route it properly. I used it on a daily basis for sound design. It has pretty nice retro drum samples. I've load it first and last, in between - it works fine. 

    You didn't install any recent Sonar Platinum files, perhaps? 

    Define "route it properly." What is 'improperly.'

    Is there a 64-bit softsynth that can produce the same instrument sounds as Cakewalk TTS 1? If so, what's the best one out there?

    Munt MT-32 VST is close to the TTS-1. And stable too. The developer also got rid of the 15 bit shenanigans of the reverb and output. It's what the MT-32 should have been (and D-110.)
