Inserting Cakewalk TTS-1 into a Project
Inserting a DXi into a project means that the name of the DXi appears in the
dropdown menus of MIDI track Output fields and audio track Input fields.
To Insert Cakewalk TTS-1 into a Project
1. Open a MIDI project—for this tutorial use TUTORIAL8.CWP.
2. Use the Insert-DXi Synth command and click Cakewalk TTS-1 on the popup
menu.
The Insert DXi Synth Options dialog appears.
3. In the Create These Tracks fields, deselect MIDI Source Track, because we
want to patch some pre-existing tracks into Cakewalk TTS-1.
4. Select All Synth Outputs (Audio) because we’re going to use a different audio
track for each of Cakewalk TTS-1’s 4 outputs. The new audio tracks have
Cakewalk TTS-1 already patched to them as audio inputs.
5. In the Open These Windows fields, select both Synth Property Page and Synth
Rack view. These two options open Cakewalk TTS-1’s property page
(interface), and the Synth Rack view, respectively.
6. Click OK.
SONAR inserts 4 audio tracks that each have one of Cakewalk TTS-1’s outputs as
an input (notice that these tracks have the DXi label next to their track numbers),
opens the Synth Rack view with Cakewalk TTS-1 displayed in the first row, and
opens Cakewalk TTS-1’s property page.
Notice that the Output field of the MIDI track is labeled Cakewalk TTS-1 1. The
“1” means that this is the first instance of Cakewalk TTS-1 that you have inserted
into this project. If you use the Insert-DXi Synth command to insert another
instance or copy of Cakewalk TTS-1 into this project, its label will be Cakewalk
TTS-1 2, and it will function as a totally separate synth. MIDI data in tracks that
use Cakewalk TTS-1 1 as an output will have no effect on MIDI tracks that have
Cakewalk TTS-1 2 as an output.
