Cakewalk TTS-1 Soft Synth

Cakewalk TTS-1 is a GM2 (General MIDI 2) compatible, multi-timbral, multi-output, software synthesizer featuring a newly developed software synthesis engine, with 256 sounds and 9 drum sets built in.

The TTS-1 features:

• A newly developed software synthesis engine that uses 32-bit internal processing, and supports a 96 kHz sampling rate
• High-quality reverb and chorus built-in
• 256 GM2-compatible sounds and 9 drum sets for serious music production in jazz, rock, classical, or any other style. In addition, you can create 512 user sounds and 128 drum sets. Maximum polyphony is a generous 128 notes, depending on the performance of your computer and audio device.
• Each sound can be customized from a dedicated control window. You can make detailed edits to the tone control, envelope, resonance, tuning, portamento, modulation, and more, allowing you to express subtle nuances of tone. Customized sounds can be saved as user sounds for use at any time.
• The Mixer Window lets you easily specify things such as the sound and volume of each part. Here you can also monitor the level of each part and the total polyphony, allowing you to check the status during playback, and use it as a valuable reference when creating music data.
• You can control knobs and sliders in the Mixer window, Effect window, Part Edit window, and System window from a MIDI controller.
• Intel Corporation's SSE instructions, AMD Corporation's Enhanced 3D Now! technology, and Motorola Corporation's AltiVec are all supported, so you'll be able to take full advantage of the high-speed calculation potential of your CPU.

Selecting Sounds

To select a different sound for any of the sixteen parts, click the name of the current sound that's just to the right of the volume fader in the desired part, then select the name of the desired sound from the menu that appears.

The Mixer Window

In the Mixer window, you can select the sound, set the volume, and adjust the effects for each part. Changes in the various parameters can be made by dragging a knob up or down. You can also click the spin button below a knob to adjust the value of a parameter in terms of its smallest increments.

 

Note : Some parameters below are labeled GM2 (General MIDI 2). GM2 parameters will change in response to GM2-compatible MIDI messages. The other parameters are unique to TTS-1.

Here's a description of the Mixer Window's buttons and controls:

• Edit buttons 1-16--displays the editing window for that part.
• Chorus knobs 1-16 (GM2) [CC#93]--sets the output level of the signal that is sent to the chorus.
• Reverb knobs 1-16 (GM2) [CC#91]--sets the output level of the signal that is sent to the reverb.
• Pan knobs 1-16 (GM2) [CC#10]--sets the stereo location of the output sound. L63 is far left, 0 is center, and R63 is far right.
• Level sliders 1-16 (GM2) [CC#7]--Adjusts the output volume of the part.
• MIDI indicator--lights when a MIDI message is received.
• Peak indicator--located at the upper-right of each Part's level slider. Lights when the part level has exceeded the maximum value
• Preview buttons 1-16--allows you to audition the currently selected sound in each part.
• Help--displays the online help.
• Panic--stops all currently sounding notes.
• GM2--performs the same processing as when a GM2 System On message is received.
• Effect--displays the Effect Edit window.
• System--displays the System Settings window.
• Polyphony--displays the number of currently sounding voices.
• Current Peak--Displays the maximum number of voices that have sounded simultaneously up to this point. This will be reset if you double-click the displayed value. Note : Some sounds use more than one voice for each note.
• MASTER (Master Volume, GM2) [NRPN 58H 70H]--here you can adjust the master volume and view the level display. Note : since VST instruments cannot use exclusive messages, some of the functions defined by General MIDI 2 are assigned to NRPNs to be used with the TTS-1.

The Part Edit Window

When you click a part's Edit button in the Mixer window, the Part Edit window appears. The Part Edit window displays the same controls you see in the Mixer window, but adds many more controls for manipulating the sound of an instrument. Changes in the various parameters can be made by dragging a knob up or down. You can also click the spin button below a knob to adjust the value of a parameter in terms of its smallest increments. The settings you make in each part's Edit window are saved with your project.

 

Some notes about the parameters:

• Some parameters below are labeled GM2 (General MIDI 2). GM2 parameters will change in response to GM2-compatible MIDI messages. The other parameters are unique to TTS-1.
• Since VST instruments cannot use exclusive messages, some of the functions defined by General MIDI 2 are assigned to NRPNs to be used with the TTS-1.
• Parameters whose range is -63 to +63 apply relative change to the preset values of the sound. If the preset value is already set to the maximum or minimum value, only negative or positive adjustment will be available.

Parameter Control Via MIDI

Most of the parameters that can be set from the panel of this software can be edited using MIDI control changes and RPN (Registered Parameter Number) or NRPN (Non-Registered Parameter Number) messages.

• Parameters GM2 are parameters defined by GM2 (General MIDI 2). These parameters will change in response to GM2-compatible MIDI messages.
• Since the VST instruments cannot use exclusive messages, some of the functions defined by General MIDI 2 are assigned to NRPNs to be used with the TTS-1.
• References to [CC#(number)] indicate control change numbers.
• References to [RPN (number)] indicate the MSB/LSB of the RPN that can be used to control the corresponding parameter.
• References to [NRPN (number)] indicate the MSB/LSB of the NRPN that can be used to control the corresponding parameter.

For details, refer to the MIDI implementation.

Troubleshooting

Here's a list of common problems and solutions:

Sound is too loud/too soft/cannot be heard

Check the following points.

• Check the Mixer window master volume setting.
• If the MIDI indicator for each part in the Mixer window are not blinking, it is possible that MIDI messages are not being input correctly to TTS-1. Check the following settings on your host application.
• Make sure that TTS-1 is selected as the output destination for the MIDI tracks that are playing.
• Check the MIDI channel, volume, and mute settings for the MIDI tracks that are playing.
• If the Mixer window level meters are moving, it is possible that there is a problem with the audio output settings. Check the following points.
• Check the audio volume of the host application. Also make sure that the audio device you are using has been correctly selected.
• Check the volume and other necessary settings for your audio device.
• Check the connections and volume of your audio system (amp, speakers, etc.)
• If a heavy processing load is placed on your computer, your host application may stop processing audio, causing the sound to stop. Refer to the troubleshooting items for "[2] Sound is interrupted/playback tempo is irregular/playback stops midway through."

Sound is interrupted/playback tempo is irregular/playback stops midway through

Check the following items.

• If your host application allows you to adjust the size of the audio buffer, try increasing the buffer size. Note : Increasing the buffer size will increase the delay (latency) of the sound.
• It is possible that playback cannot be performed correctly because other software is placing a processing load on the computer. Please exit any software you are not using.
• Refer to the troubleshooting section in the documentation for your host application or audio device. Suggestions on how to solve problems with audio playback may be effective for this situation as well.
• Try decreasing the POLYPHONY LIMIT in the System settings window.
• In the Effect Edit window, try turning [CHORUS] and/or [REVERB] off.

Note, however, that if the MIDI data you are attempting to play is of such complexity that it requires sound processing capabilities that are well beyond those of your computer, these measures may not help.

Notes are delayed

Check the following points.

• If your host application allows you to adjust the size of the audio buffer, try decreasing the buffer size. Note : decreasing the buffer size too much may cause notes to be interrupted or fail to sound. Make this setting as appropriate for the performance of your computer and audio device.
• If the documentation for your host application or audio device contains suggestions on how to fix problems with delayed notes, follow those suggestions.

Depending on the performance of your computer, and on the specifications of your host application and audio device, it may not be possible to resolve this problem.

Insufficient polyphony/Notes are omitted

It is possible that this is being limited by the maximum polyphony setting. Check the LIMIT setting for POLYPHONY in the System Setting window. Note: You can check the actual polyphony in the [POLYPHONY] area of the Mixer window.

Sound is distorted

Check the following points.

• Try lowering the master volume in the Mixer window.

Effects (reverb/chorus) are not applied to the rhythm part

For the drum part, the effect send amount (send level) is set individually for each drum instrument.
Even if the send level of the drum part is specified from the Mixer window, or from within the music data, there will be no effect if the send level of each instrument is turned down.
Make sure that the music data also specifies the send level of each instrument to which you want to apply the effect.

For details on effect send level settings for drum instruments, refer to See Using the Rhythm Edit Window.

Failure to plug-in

Check the following points.

• TTS-1 can be used only with the following audio formats. Check the audio format of your host application.
  

Sampling frequency [kHz]	44.1, 48, 96
Number of channels	2

• It is possible that your computer does not have enough memory. Try exiting any other applications that you are not using. If failure to plug-in occurs frequently due to insufficient memory, we recommend that you install additional memory in your computer.

**NRPN**
The NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number) message allows an extended range of control changes to be used.
To use these messages, you must first use NRPN MSB and NRPN LSB messages to specify the parameter to be controlled, and then use Data Entry messages to specify the value of the specified parameter. Once an NRPN parameter has been specified, all Data Entry messages received on that channel will modify the value of that parameter. To prevent accidents, it is recommended that you set RPN Null (RPN Number = 7FH/7FH) when you have finished setting the value of the desired parameter. Refer to Supplementary material "Examples of actual MIDI messages" <Example 4>. On the TTS-1 devices, Data entry LSB (llH) of NRPN is ignored, so it is no problem to send Data entry MSB (mmH) only (without Data entry LSB)

NRPN messages are used only for TTS-1. Since the VST instruments cannot use exclusive messages, some of the functions defined by General MIDI 2 are assigned to NRPNs to be used with the TTS-1.

On the TTS-1, NRPN can be used to modify the following parameters.

* Decimal values such as MIDI channel, bank select, and program change are listed as one (1) greater than the values given in the above table.
* A 7-bit byte can express data in the range of 128 steps. For data where greater precision is required, we must use two or more bytes. For example, two hexadecimal numbers aa bbH expressing two 7-bit bytes would indicate a value of aa x 128 + bb.
* In the case of values which have a (+/-) sign, 00H = -64, 40H = +/-0, and 7FH = +63, so that the decimal expression would be 64 less than the value given in the above chart. In the case of two types, 00 00H = -8192, 40 00H = +/-0, and 7F 7FH = +8191. For example if aa bbH were expressed as decimal, this would be aa bbH - 40 00H = aa x 128 + bb - 64 x 128.
* Data marked "nibbled" is expressed in hexadecimal in 4-bit units. A value expressed as a 2-byte nibble 0a 0bH has the value of a x 16 + b.

<Example 1> What is the decimal expression of 5AH ?
From the preceding table, 5AH = 90

<Example 2> What is the decimal expression of the value 12 34H given as hexadecimal for each 7 bits?
From the preceding table, since 12H = 18 and 34H = 52
18 x 128 + 52 = 2356

<Example 3> What is the decimal expression of the nibbled value 0A 03 09 0D ?
From the preceding table, since 0AH = 10, 03H = 3, 09H = 9, 0DH = 13
((10 x 16 + 3) x 16 + 9) x 16 + 13 = 41885

<Example 4> What is the nibbled expression of the decimal value 1258?
16) 1258
16) 78 ... 10
16) 4 ... 14
0 ... 4
Since from the preceding table, 0 = 00H, 4 = 04H, 14 = 0EH, 10 = 0AH, the answer is 00 04 0E 0AH.

<Examples of actual MIDI messages>

<Example 1> 92 3E 5F
9n is the Note-on status, and n is the MIDI channel number. Since 2H = 2, 3EH = 62, and 5FH = 95, this is a Note-on message with MIDI CH = 3, note number 62 (note name is D4), and velocity 95.

<Example 2> CE 49
CnH is the Program Change status, and n is the MIDI channel number. Since EH = 14 and 49H = 73, this is a Program Change message with MIDI CH = 15, program number 74 (Flute).

<Example 3> EA 00 28
EnH is the Pitch Bend Change status, and n is the MIDI channel number. The 2nd byte (00H = 0) is the LSB and the 3rd byte (28H = 40) is the MSB, but Pitch Bend Value is a signed number in which 40 00H (= 64 x 128 + 0 = 8192) is 0, so this Pitch Bend Value is
28 00H - 40 00H = 40 x 128 + 0 - (64 x 128 + 0) = 5120 - 8192 = -3072

If the Pitch Bend Sensitivity is set to 2 semitones, -8192 (00 00H) will cause the pitch to change -200 cents, so in this case -200 x (-3072) / (-8192) = -75 cents of Pitch Bend is being applied to MIDI channel 11.

# <Example 4> B3 64 00 65 00 06 0C 26 00 64 7F 65 7F
BnH is the Control Change status, and n is the MIDI channel number. For Control Changes, the 2nd byte is the control number, and the 3rd byte is the value. In a case in which two or more messages consecutive messages have the same status, MIDI has a provision called "running status" which allows the status byte of the second and following messages to be omitted. Thus, the above messages have the following meaning.

 

B3 64 00	MIDI ch.4, lower byte of RPN parameter number: 00H
(B3)65 00	(MIDI ch.4) upper byte of RPN parameter number: 00H
(B3)06 0C	(MIDI ch.4) upper byte of parameter value: 0CH
(B3)26 00	(MIDI ch.4) lower byte of parameter value: 00H
(B3)64 7F	(MIDI ch.4) lower byte of RPN parameter number: 7FH
(B3)65 7F	(MIDI ch.4) upper byte of RPN parameter number: 7FH

In other words, the above messages specify a value of 0C 00H for RPN parameter number 00 00H on MIDI channel 4, and then set the RPN parameter number to 7F 7FH.

RPN parameter number 00 00H is Pitch Bend Sensitivity, and the MSB of the value indicates semitone units, so a value of 0CH = 12 sets the maximum pitch bend range to +/-12 semitones (1 octave). (The LSB of Pitch Bend Sensitivity is ignored, but the LSB should be transmitted anyway (with a value of 0) so that operation will be correct on any device.)

Once the parameter number has been specified for RPN or NRPN, all Data Entry messages transmitted on that same channel will be valid, so after the desired value has been transmitted, it is a good idea to set the parameter number to 7F 7FH to prevent accidents. This is the reason for the (B3) 64 7F (B3) 65 7F at the end.

It is not desirable for performance data (such as Standard MIDI File data) to contain many events with running status as given in <Example 4>. This is because if playback is halted during the song and then rewound or fast-forwarded, the sequencer may not be able to transmit the correct status, and the sound source will then misinterpret the data. Take care to give each event its own status.

It is also necessary that the RPN or NRPN parameter number setting and the value setting be done in the proper order. On some sequencers, events occurring in the same (or consecutive) clock may be transmitted in an order different than the order in which they were received. For this reason it is a good idea to slightly skew the time of each event (about 1 tick for TPQN = 96, and about 5 ticks for TPQN = 480).

* TPQN: Ticks Per Quarter Note

<About tuning>

In MIDI, individual Parts are tuned by sending RPN #1 (Master Fine Tuning) to the appropriate MIDI channel.
In MIDI, an entire device is tuned by either sending RPN #1 to all MIDI channels being used, or by sending a System Exclusive MASTER FINE TUNE.
RPN #1 allows tuning to be specified in steps of approximately 0.012 cents (to be precise, 100/8192 cent).
The values of RPN #1 and System Exclusive MASTER FINE TUNE are added together to determine the actual pitch sounded by each Part.

Frequently used tuning values are given in the following table for your reference. Values are in hexadecimal (decimal in parentheses).

 

Hz in A4	cent	RPN #1
445.0	+19.56	4C 43 (+1603)
444.0	+15.67	4A 03 (+1283)
443.0	+11.76	47 44 (+964)
442.0	+ 7.85	45 03 (+643)
441.0	+ 3.93	42 42 (+322)
440.0	0.00	40 00 (0)
439.0	- 3.94	3D 3D (-323)
438.0	- 7.89	3A 7A (-646)

<Example> Set the tuning of MIDI channel 3 to A4 = 442.0 Hz
Send RPN#1 to MIDI channel 3. From the above table, the value is 45 03H.
