@sadicus,

Why would you want the TTS-1 virtual instrument to have a midi out? 

Are you wanting more than one virtual  instrument to playback the data on a midi track?  If so you can duplicate the midi track then direct the midi output to a different instrument.

its the most simple instrument to use when troubleshooting or experimenting with new VST routing.
is there a better one to  use without loading kontakt?

@sadicus,

Thanks for answering, I knew there had to be a good reason for the question.  I hadn't thought of using it as a troubleshooting tool.  That's a pretty neat idea. 

You used the term, simple instrument, to describe TTS-1.  It is simple to use but it is not a simple instrument.  It is a rare and vanishing breed of software instrument, a multi-timbrel sound module with a user interface.   Today, multi-timbrel sound modules either reside as hardware outside the computer or as an operating system support file inside a computer, cellphone or tablet.  It is difficult to find a product that has a user interface, is multi-timbrel, polyphonic sounds as good and is as easy to use as the TTS-1 in Cakewalk by BandLab.

The alternative is to find a player like Virtual MIDI Synth, https://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/virtualmidisynth, Synthfont https://synthfont.en.lo4d.com/windows or Sforzando https://www.plogue.com/products/sforzando.html and then match whichever you choose with a bundled set of GM, GM2, XG or GS patches (instrument voices) like Timbres of Heaven http://midkar.com/soundfonts/  

Once you download, install and figure out what you have then any of the above is almost as easy to use as TTS-1.  But even then none pass through incoming midi data because a player is the end user.

Another thought, how about using the Studio Instruments suite of virtual instruments?

I am not demeaning your question or response in any way, shape or form.  I was intrigued to know the reasoning behind your question.

Kontakt (even the free Player) can do MIDI out.

Options > Engine > Send MIDI to outside world (incoming notes, script generated notes, etc.)

The Ample Sound instruments can do this, but they are not multi-timbral.  Even the free Ample Guitar M II Lite can send the generated strummer pattern to MIDI. The paid Ample Bass with the Riffer module can send the Riffer note patterns to MIDI as well. Either way you can drive another instrument with those patterns, or record and edit them in a MIDI track.

Settings > MIDI out (on/off)

When I first saw this thread, I thought you meant it was simple/easy to use because you can press a button and play a little audio to test the audio signal.  Now I am not sure.
