Okay, I finally got everything working again! It turns out that the reason TTS-1 disappeared was because I uninstalled CbB. So if you want to keep using TTS-1, you have to keep CbB and Sonar both installed. Thanks again for your help!

Thanks, I'll try this!

Thank you everyone for your help and replies. I don't know how I missed the "Allow Only One Open Project at a Time" option in Preferences. I guess I didn't look at the settings very well! I had assumed that having multiple projects open was related to Workspaces since that was where my open projects showed up in CbB. I'm glad I was wrong! As for TTS-1, I still had it when I switched to Sonar but it was suddenly gone when I opened it about a week or so ago. I wonder if the reason it disappeared was because I deleted and uninstalled my old files that came with CbB, thinking they weren't needed for Sonar. I should still have these files somewhere in my backups, so maybe I could try re-installing them?

If I have one project open and then open another, it automatically closes the first one. There's always only one project shown. I use a Windows 11 laptop, but it only has half the amount of RAM recommended for Sonar. I would assume that's the reason why my music sometimes goes silent? I don't remember that happening the last few times I used it, but I won't know if it's still happening until I get my soundfont working.

I used Cakewalk By Bandlab for several years and loved it. But I had to switch to Sonar Free and now I have issues with it. I have to wait for the message wanting me to buy Membership to close before I can use it almost every time. Having multiple projects open at once was something I relied on for some of my work, now it's a paid feature. Sonar is made for computers more powerful than mine, but it works okay except for pieces of my music sometimes going silent when playing. I'm even less happy about TTS-1 being gone. Now I had to download Sforzando, a soundfont, and a soundbank, and they're not working despite my following all the directions. The new instruments work fine in Sforzando (opened in Sonar), but there's no sound when I try to play my songs in Sonar. On every track, the bank is empty and the instruments are listed as numbers. I wonder if I did something wrong? Even if I do get it to work, my songs won't sound the same anymore...does anyone else have issues with Sonar Free?

That worked! Thank you so much!

When I got my new laptop and installed Cakewalk, I noticed that there were some new instruments (fantasia, ice rain, star sound, and others) that I'd never had before and all the MIDI instruments had higher quality sound. Also, the patch name shown on the bank changed to "Cakewalk" or something like that. But after my previous Cakewalk projects were moved to my new laptop, everything changed back to the way it was on my old one (the patch name shown on the bank is now "None" as it was before). Does anyone know how I can bring the new instruments and stuff back? I've looked all over the settings but haven't found anything. Thanks!
