Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth No Longer an Option for MIDI Devices


Peach

Question

I used to have the option to select the general Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth as a MIDI device for the few years I used Cakewalk by BandLab (on Windows 10).  Recently, this option disappeared and I thought it was of my own doing because of some audio driver troubles.  I have since resolved the audio driver issue and I also have added Cakewalk to another computer entirely (running Windows 11), and in both cases, the GS MIDI just will not appear.  Was this phased out or am I doing something wrong?  I would like to use it for certain projects.  Thank you.

Since TTS-1 is gone, what do we use now?

It was phased out as it is no longer supported by Win11, and latest builds of Win10.

TTS-1 is your best option for GM sounds.

When I try this, the TTS1 isn't offered. How do I get it installed?

If you didn't already have TTS-1 from an earlier iteration of Cakewalk (Music Creator, SONAR Home Studio, SONAR Platinum, SONAR X1, X2, X3, or Cakewalk by Bandlab), then you can't get it.

You have the Coyote which is a nice sounding GM Player. That is one of the better alternatives. Even though I have the TTS-1 still,  I have the Coyote set as my default. To me it has a smoother mellow sound.

Thanks. How do I get it to play an imported midi file (usually from Sibelius)? On my previous machine, now sadly dead, TTS-1 automatically connected to the buttons above the faders (Bank & Voice) so I never needed to know how to do this side of things.
