When you insert the plug-in, tick All Synth Audio Outputs: Stereo, MIDI Source and Synth Track Folder. When you first insert TTS‑1 into your project, avoid using a Simple Instrument Track, because the TTS‑1 supports 16 MIDI channels and provides four audio outputs. Besides, many of the sounds still hold up after all these years - so, here are some of my favourite TTS‑1 tips. Yet to dismiss it would be a mistake, because the TTS‑1 has a number of really useful mobile-friendly features: WASAPI's low latency with a laptop's internal sound card, the virtual touchscreen or QWERTY controller, low CPU footprint, and multitimbral operation.

It won't function at 88.2kHz sample rates, and it's only available in DXi format.

It comes bundled for free with BandLab, and has a user interface that looks like a Ready Player One concept art reject. It's over 14 years old and still on version 1.00. The TTS‑1 synth may be old, but it's still got some power!

You can assign any TTS‑1 instrument to one of four individual outputs.
