MessageGord, I have the general midi track the input is general midi not the tts1 synth. I load an audio track to set the midi track to it but general midi isn't an option. If I can call you Saturday Sunday that would be great. I did set the midi tracks to the tts1 with the audio track but the trumpet sound surprisingly isn't as good as the general midi so I was hoping I wouldn't have to settle for that. Let me know when I can call you.

If your midi tracks are playing, then you do have an audio track associated with the tts1. If you want to separate your audio tracks so that you have different instruments for different audio tracks, then you'll need to bounce your midi tracks to the audio tracks. Alternatively, you can set different midi channels in the tts 1 to coe out of different audio outputs of the tts1. Maybe you need to call me to straighten this out.

I loaded a new audio track but that didn't help. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Gibbs To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2007 11:12 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: midi question Are you using a soft synth or a hardware module>? -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of thomas de rosa Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 12:50 AM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] midi question Hi there, I need a quick reminder on bouncing general midi to audio.
