Cannot hear multiple instruments at once in TTS-1

[Bob Decker]

Hello,

Per system settings, I have a guitar in channel 1, a sax in channel 2, and a violin in ex 3.  During playback, I only see the guitar volume lights moving, no sounds or volume light action from sax or violin.  What else do I need to do to hear all these play from the same MIDI notes at once in the instrument track?  Thanks.

If I was using TTS-1 and wanting multitimbral, this is how I would do it

Have a single instance of TTS-1.

Have MIDI tracks that point to that single instance.

Set the MIDI channels of the MIDI tracks to their respective channels. Doing this will cause all events on that track to be sent on the Channel you set here rather than on the Channels of the events themselves.

In the MIDI tracks, set the patch to the instruments.

For good measure, on each MIDI track, you might want to insert CC7 and CC11 events to set the volumes of the parts.

I just did a quick test and this works here..  I just used single instance of TTs1, three tracks: Piano, guitar and strings, I was able to hear the three parts.  I did not even have to add the CC events.  It just worked.
