The Komplete Start bundled instruments are Kontakt Player or Reaktor Player libraries. They also work in the Komplete Kontrol plugin. Start by locating the Komplete Kontrol, Kontakt, or Reaktor plugins in Cakewalk and insert them, and then follow the Native Instruments instructions for loading the sounds content. The NI instrument sounds cannot be loaded standalone in Cakewalk, as they are not plugins.

Many sampled instruments are limited to the actual note range of the real instrument, as in the case of guitars, that would be from the lowest open string, to the highest fret. If you are expecting 88 MIDI notes in a piano roll, as in a grand piano, you might be surprised by the lesser actual note range for example, for a 4-string bass. ? And yes, scook's notes about the base octave for pitches is a very important consideration as well!

The Roland Sound Canvas VA is a GS, GM2, GM VSTi & AU (64-bit). 16 parts, 64 voices. 4 types of sound maps (SC-8820, SC-88Pro, SC-88, SC-55). https://www.roland.com/us/products/rc_sound_canvas_va/ $69 to get a lifetime key. Install the free Roland Cloud Manager and locate this offer under "Software > Legendary". Internet connectivity required to activate.

Figured as much... ?

TS3 MAX in my cart is still $299, even with the $200 discount. And the only things I would get for that is AmpliTube 5 MAX (have AT4 MAX), the T-Racks Tape Machines, and that ARC System. Have everything else already, so that's a bit more than I'm willing to pay.

Fixes the new Pigments 3.0 errors when you load any Pigments v3.0 presets. Run Arturia Software Center to update.

Just upgraded my Analog Lab V to version 5.2, and the new Pigments banks work with AL V now.

It's just one of those "why not?" things...

Very, very nice!

I'm with you on the Steelcase Leap. Mine came with a 10 year warranty, and they sent a tech to my home to replace the gas strut and the armrests after ~9.5 years. Best investment I ever made! Still going strong, and my back has never felt better! We had a few of those Aeron chairs at the office that my team mates used to fight over, but I never really found them all that comfortable for sitting up at a desk. And the rim on the front of the seat always dug into the back of my legs. Tip: Ignore the retail prices on that Steelcase website, as they are about twice what Amazon sells them for... That Gesture does look like a fine chair, for around $1,000 at Amazon. But at this point my Leap's likely to outlive me, LOL.

No need to route TTS-1 directly to your hardware. Just use 4 cakewalk audio tracks for the plugin audio outs. Then match up the TTS-1 instruments (in TTS-1) that you want to mix per the 4 outputs as illustrated in Craig Anderton's graphic in the SOS article. If 4 audio tracks will not give you enough separation for your mix, then just use a separate instance of TTS-1 for each instrument (easier). For a simple multi example send all drums to one output, bass to a second, guitar to a third, and everything else such as piano, or whatever to the fourth.

What Terry said ^^^

Sure there is a way! https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/cakewalk-bandlab-tts-1-synth

Audio interface specs? Audio buffer and sample rate used? Are you using ASIO?

TTS-1 works a lot like Kontakt in a multi-timbral context. It can receive up to 16 MIDI channels, but unlike Kontakt, has only has 1-4 audio channels for the instruments on MIDI ch 1-16 to play back to the DAW mixer with. Kontakt can do 1 for 1, 16 MIDI in to 16 audio out.

I think you misunderstood what I meant. I was only talking about the ability to route 4 discrete stereo audio channels from TTS-1 into Cakewalk's mixer from a single instance of TTS-1, so that you can have select TTS-1 instruments in 4 different groups routing to 4 different mixer channels. Almost like having 4 instances of TTS-1. That way you can set up insert FX or FX busses on the Cakewalk mixer side. The 4 channel audio would then get mixed as one would ordinarily do so down to the 2-channel Master bus that feeds your audio hardware. I wasn't referring to routing the 4 audio channels from TTS-1 directly to your audio hardware. Sorry I wasn't more clear in that regard.

The current version of TTS-1 was written in 2004. Back when Cakewalk was owned by Roland. Before Gibson. Before BandLab... I imagine that a lot has changed in Windows OS architecture since those days. In human years that's a long time ago. But in computer or dog years, that's ancient history! All software generally needs ongoing maintenance for bug fix & compatibility reasons. Because without it you never know what random bugs might appear. I'm sure that CbB is making the TTS-1 synth available on a best effort and a "as-is" basis for compatibility with old Cakewalk projects. But surely most folks would benefit by sticking to modern plugins for their DAW when creating any new projects.

This ^^^^^^^

When I add something like Total Studio Max or the Tape Machine collection to my cart, PayPal then appears as an option at check-out! But none of the $25 deals offer PayPal at check-out. Even if I add all 4 tape machines, for $100 cart total. I wonder if this is just a web coding screw-up, or intentional? When I bought Space Echo for $17 on Tuesday ($25 - 8 JamPoints) PayPal was fine!

I just added one of the Tape Machines to my cart at IK to take a look... On the checkout window, it appears IK are only accepting credit cards now. Pay with Card > Submit Credit card payment. PayPal has been moved to the bottom, with a promo offer for a pay-in-4 deal. But no PayPal payment button! I wonder what happened. It worked just fine 2 days ago! ?

Was this experience at the IK store, or another reseller?

I always seem to run into trouble when I use a single instance of TTS-1, and I start assigning the multiple audio outs in TTS-1. Like say if you wanted to add TH-3 or Amplitube to a TTS-1 guitar track in Cakewalk, but wanted to separate its audio from your bass and drums in TTS-1.

I find this more work in Studio One. Always wished that Presence was multi-timbral! > Easy peasy > YMMV...
