3. In the Open These Windows area, click Synth Property Page.
Note: If you would like a detailed explanation of each option, click Help.
4. Click OK.
A new synth track is inserted in your project.
On some computers, the tracks may play back through the TTS-1 at this point. However, on
computers that have hardware MIDI outputs available, you may need to specify the TTS-1 as each
track's output. Here's a fast way to do that:
1. Hold down the CTRL key and click each track to select them.
The tracks are highlighted to indicate they are selected.
2. Hold down the CTRL key and click any selected track's Output control and select Cakewalk
TTS-1.
All selected tracks are assigned to the same output.
Press Play to play back the project. If you'd like to add your own track to play through the TTS-1,
click Insert menu and select MIDI Track. On your new MIDI track, set the output to Cakewalk TTS-
1. Remember, it needs to be on its own discreet MIDI channel. In this project, MIDI channels 1-11
are already used, so let's assign this track to channel 12 in the Track Inspector or Console view. You
can also select the sound via the track's Patch control. Then use one of the methods described
above to create MIDI data. You can also add MIDI data to your new track from the Browser. See
Tutorial 2 for details about the Browser. Another option is using the Staff view as an alternative to the
Piano Roll view. That will be covered in the next tutorial: Tutorial 5 - Working with music notation.
