I seem to recall issues for some regarding stability for SampleTank 3 in the VST2 vs. VST3 plugin versions. If you are using that, try switching to the VST2.

I have always used the top menu "Insert > Soft Synth" dropdown, or just dragging an instrument from the browser into the track pane, to insert an instrument track, and I don't believe I have ever seen TTS-1 crash. It's not my go-to instrument by any means, but I have opened it enough that I would take notice if there were any issues on my system.

In other words, most sample libraries are usually locked to the sample player VST by the company that developed it. It is simply copy protection for their property. At the moment, I believe NI Kontakt is the most widely used format, with considerable 3rd party support (both paid and free). But the sample libraries themselves are locked to Kontakt. So if I was going to pick just one, that would be it.

I recall hearing that before the Gibson/Cakewalk shutdown, that the developer of Overture (Sonic Scores) https://sonicscores.com/ proposed to integrate a basic version of Overture into Sonar, but that it never got approved. That is an opportunity lost...

The main things that I don't care for is that this library is locked into Presence XT, which is itself locked into Studio One. Which may not present a problem if that is all you intend to work with...

Looks like you would also need to have a license for an older version of S1 Pro in order to use the upgrade.

The last 2 updates with BA worked fine for me.

You can still get a license for the Blue Tubes at : https://store.dontcrack.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=blue+tubes&x=0&y=0 or at: https://go.nomadfactory.com/store/ 64-bits upgrade in the application would fix the memory limitations. I believe that's a result of 32-bit applications being limited to 2GB memory space, even though a 32-bit Windows OS can use ~3.4GB, and 64-bit Windows OS much more. So when you start loading up samplers you are going to exceed 2GB easily... with synths, not so much...

So what now? Wait for 1.2.1?

Glad you got it working! Just speculating here: I am left wondering if this was a scanning glitch, or a versioning issue that somehow left a Cakewalk project "blind" to the plugin? I think it would be good for us all to better understand plugin versioning, and it's interaction with saved Cakewalk projects.

And the last time the file on my PC was modified was in 2017, so I assume that it pre-dates BandLab, and came bundled with Sonar Platinum. I seem to recall that Overloud made some unlock codes available for a limited time to existing Sonar users so they could continue using their bundled plugins elsewhere after Gibson pulled out. So I guess that I never tried the BandLab version of TH3.

I just loaded up an instance of TH3, and got this prompt to update. I clicked on "Not now". Apparently I am still running v3.4.5 and it works.

That's probably about right! YMMV...

I have UVI Digital Synsations, so UVI is a must... It's a good complement to IK Syntronik. Analog + Digital: FTW

Here's an image of the original TTS-1 GUI. As a minor correction to what I stated earlier, you can see that it said "TTS-1 POWERED BY ROLAND" over on the left. It actually already said Cakewalk over on the right. They trimmed the phrase "POWERED BY ROLAND".

It seems to me that tracks for markers, arrangement, and tempo could all be worked on together, as they do affect the project timeline. Now that we have slip editing, it's time to step up the game!

I'm fairly sure that the 3-13-2018 version 1.02 is the latest. That's the one I have. And the date coincides with the BandLab re-branding of TTS-1 from Roland to Cakewalk in the GUI. It used to be named Roland TTS-1, before BandLab acquired the properties from Gibson But I don't believe any functional changes were made, only cosmetic.

There is a TTS-1.dll in the "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared DXi\" folder, but pwal is correct, it's not a VST.

Haven't been using it, but had it installed for several years. Took a look and realized I only had 2.5.0, so thanks for the heads-up with 2.5.1! Running latest version of Win10 Pro 1909. No problem adding target vst folder here.

I don't have any specific knowledge of track properties, "hidden" or otherwise. And I have never seen this happen before. Just commenting that your observations were indicating that might be a good place to look. I would shoot an email to support if you think it's worthwhile for the devs to look into it, as is maybe a case of a subtle change in one of the recent Cakewalk updates: support@cakewalk.com

I got the impression from the Korg website that the VSTi is based on the original Triton. https://www.korg.com/us/products/software/korg_collection/triton.php Including eight-part multi-timbre combis, abundant PCM samples, five IFX, and two MFX, the KORG Collection TRITON is a complete reproduction of TRITON’s HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system. Supervised by original TRITON developers Over 4,000 ready-to-go sound programs Includes all of the expansion library EXB-PCM cards Features a new sound browser for quickly searching by instrument/character Includes an EASY mode that gives you instant access to important parameters Full of ready-to-go phrases with 307 dual arpeggiator patterns A free demo version is also available

Well the only clue that I see is that by deleting the track properties of the original track you have cleared the issue. That implies that something in the original track properties was causing your issue. Glad you got it solved, but am curious, how exactly did you create the original track?

I would start with the Cakewalk by BandLab included Cakewalk Studio Instruments, and/or the included TTS-1 GM 16 channel multi-timbral synth, to get familiar with adding instrument tracks to the DAW. The Cakewalk SI includes a usable (some folks like them) bass guitar, electric piano, string section, and drum kit. The TTS-1 includes sounds that cover the old General MIDI spec. This thread has pretty much covered it! You can see there are a lot of free or inexpensive virtual instruments that you can add (to roll your own collection). But the caveat is that you're not likely not find an extensive collection of *high quality* band, orchestral, and/or obscure instruments all in one place for free. You will have to search and download to find what you like, or buy sample collections to fill in any gaps.

Thanks for pointing out the Melodyne requirement. Although I do have Melodyne Essential installed, always just assumed that was a function of ARA support built into Cakewalk, because I never saw Melodyne launch during the clip drag to timeline.

I believe that the tempo map is supposed to work that way for an audio clip that was not recorded to the grid, or to a click track.
