sjoens Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) It's based on Roland's Hyper Canvas which was DXi and VSTi. Edited August 30 by sjoens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Cakewalk/12Tone never owned the TTS-1. It was created and owned by Roland, and licensed to Cakewalk. This is why it's no longer included with Sonar - it was removed from the distribution at Roland's direction. It was implemented as a DXi because at the time that made the most sense for a Windows-based DAW, and the TTS-1 was exclusive to Sonar (Roland owned a large share of Cakewalk at the time). The DX format offered features unavailable to VSTs, such as finer automation resolution and better preset management. Those differences are moot today, and VST has become the standard due to its universality. If Roland had designs on revamping the TTS-1 and broadening its appeal, they would certainly rewrite it as a VST. But Roland has little interest in the wider software market anymore. Channeling software development into hardware synths yields bigger profit margins, exclusivity, and no worries about software piracy. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Gregory Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Will there be a VST replacement for TTS-1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean a GM soundset virtual instrument supplied by Cakewalk? I've never seen a BandLab/Cakewalk employee even hint that there will be, and considering that the GM file format seems to have fallen off in popularity, my guess would be no.

Adrian Gregory Posted Friday at 08:19 AM Share Posted Friday at 08:19 AM Thanks all, Maybe I'll try Munt - It's simply to play a library of midi cover songs. I just like to quickly check whether they are OK before I edit and TTS-1 did the job within Cakewalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Kelley Posted Friday at 03:33 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:33 PM I used TTS a lot but as I noticed its flakiness I started looking for a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
