Cakewalk by Bandlab no longer includes TTS-1. An option for now could be using the Sonar Home Studio Demo version on steam. This doesn't appear in search, though you can get the link from store.steampowered.com/app/543510/SONAR_Home_Studio/. Once the Sonar Home Studio Demo is installed, TTS-1 is available in both the Sonar Home Studio Demo, as well as Cakewalk by Bandlab, if Cakewalk by Bandlab is installed after Sonar Home Studio.
I have 3 consecutive keys on my Kronos 61 v2 that will not trigger a sound. I think it’s from the strapped padding in my gator semi rigid case pressing down on the notes while it was stored on its back rather than lying flat. Do you think it’s a contact issue?
If the rubber strip over the contacts has deteriorated, that could cause an issue. I would open it up and remove the rubber strips, clean the contacts with contact cleaner, put it back together and see. You may also see the problem by just opening it up. Could be as simple as the rubber not popping back up, which may easily be fixed. It could also just be something caught between the rubber and contacts.

Excellent! I have a Kronos 2 LS88 where the A4/A#/B and C5 do not give any sound which I'd like to fix. Is it possible just to replace one rubber strip or do I need to replace them all at once? I also think that a loose contact is causing this or some dirt on the board. Maybe you could give me some advice? Thanks in advance! Bye, Dee
You don't have to replace all the rubber strips, so if you just want to do one, that is ok. I don't think that will be the issue though. Maybe remove all the rubber strips and get contact cleaner and use it on the contacts across the keyboard. That may help with it.
Thanks for the info, never knew there's a free version of cakewalk. btw you can specify which midi port to use in dosbox, so you can lose the midimapper.
Autor pjesme Krist na žalu je španjolski salezijanac Cesáreo Gabaráin, jedan od najpoznatijih španjolskih katoličkih skladatelja. Pjesma je skladana 1974. godine. Do sada je prevedena na više od 80 jezika, što naravno uključuje i hrvatski. A autor hrvatskog prepjeva nije papa Ivan Pavao II. kako mnogi misle, nego vlč. Mijo Gabrić. U originalu se pjesma zove 'Pescador de Hombres', što bi u prijevodu bilo 'Ribar ljudi'. U Hrvatskoj je pjesma vrlo popularna i pjeva se u raznim prigodama.
I still use it today, as a daw plugin, it is absolutely amazing, I run it on FL Studio, and its free ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t0t6V3yQrs4.html
I changed the blue for the pink on my kronos X and they didnt seem to fit. If you look at 5:44 on your video they protrude slightly higher than the pinks. Did you get any issues.
While I have moved on the Kronos now, I did not have any issues after the change and neither has the new owner. it definitely fit. Mine wasn't the X. I thought the issues were sorted by then, though I could be wrong. Also, I wouldn't go to the pinks, only change to the blues. The pink ones are bad. Hope that helps.
Jako lijepo, ali moram napomenuti: u refrenu u tekstu "Moj lipi anđele" nekome se potkrala kriva harma (onome koji je iznad stihova ispisao iste). Naime, umjesto pogrešne "G", treba biti "Em7".
you can use Dosbox or you can use a MIDI interface to another computer. For Dosbox, you would edit the config file to use the midi driver pointing to Cakewalk.
I followed along, but at 7:52 I get no audio at all out of the preview. What could I be missing? It looks like there was a cut in the video at 7:41 and the TTS-1 now lists various instruments instead of Piano1 all the way across. What happened there?
Make sure the audio output is set correctly in Cakewalk. (See at 6:25) if the audio is set properly there, once you create the Instrument, it should default to the sound card set in the audio window.
In regards to the change in sound names, I would have just run a midi file through it to test it was working off camera. No settings would have been changed at that point.
@@TechToTunes I did of course. Well I still don't know what was wrong with Cakewalk, but I did get Hyper Canvas working in Falcosoft midi player. Thanks for the response.
Hello, thank you for this tutorial. I just both a used Korg Kronos V1 and I also notice the problem. I already searched for a place to order replacement strips. Do they have to be of blue color? e.g. on synth-parts.com the original replacement rubbers are of pink color.
Hello sir.. in my Kronos 2 .... key C4 is having some issue... I have to apply more force than other key key to play the key C4... What would be the problem??? It's only happening only with SGX2 engine with other engine is fine..
Odd that is happens on only one key and only one engine. I'd do a reset of the synth myself to remove the issue of it being software. Otherwise, I could be looking at dirty contacts on the C4 key. I would clean the contacts with contact cleaner where the C4 key. Maybe it's just some dirt between the rubber and the contacts. One key tends to suggest a dirty/faulty contact.
On the website, it states false positives are occurring. Just ensure you get it direct from the author's site. He even publishes a virus report with each file. coolsoft.altervista.org/en/midimapper
Thank you very much, the sound is really wonderful. All SoundFont files that I have found on the Internet in the past are not of the same quality as the original SC-55. Is it possible for Roland to sell only the sound source file (soundfont) to the end user (separately from Sound Canvas VA)?
They did sell it before in the VSC range, which you can still find out there is you look hard enough. That's a VST which can be used with a basic VST player.
The Hyper Canvas and the TTS-1 don't sound much like the oldschool Sound Canvas though that these games were mostly composed with and were meant to be heard on. Still a neat free way to play some nice music, much like using a nice SoundFont. It might be a tad misleading to say that this is the same as a Sound Canvas, Roland made or not. But it certainly is a nice easy free alternative.
This is a cool solution, but if you want an actual accurate SC-55 soundfont without paying, there NOW IS ONE. What happened is that the original SC-55MKII's ROM was extracted, and decrypted, and was used for the soundfont's creation (previous attempts tried to use recorded SC-55 samples or used samples from something like the Microsoft GS wavetable synth, which produced pretty inaccurate results due to not being the same sample as the one used for the actual SC-55, those samples were from the cut-down SCC-1 sound card, albeit in very low quality and new Windows versions screwed over the synth even more): www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/118828-updated-now-on-github-the-most-accurate-sc-55-soundfont-out-now/ Use it with VirtualMIDISynth. Also there's an AWE32 soundfont if you plan on playing Heretic/HeXen (it's soundtrack was composed on that, not SC-55 unlike DOOM/Strife): archive.org/download/soundfonts_201910 (select the AWEROMGM.sf2, also use with VirtualMIDISynth)
Sound fonts are ok, but for the MT-32 they just aren't good enough as many games actually utilise the memory area of the MT32 to upload unique patches for the game. Sound fonts don't replicate that and the resulting sound can be way off. Both solutions are free which is the best part! :) I use the SC-55 font on the Mister FPGA and it works really well.
@@TechToTunes MUNT should work too. And the problem with atleast the games I play is that basically none of them were composed on the HyperCanvas, all of them were composed on a SC-55 (DOOM, ROTT, DUKE3D etc.) so it won't really sound as the composer(s) intended on the HyperCanvas.
@@asais1024 HyperCanvas is a reproduction of the Sound Canvas by Roland. Have a listen to it and you will see. MUNT is great for MT32 sound tracks only. It doesn't emulate General MIDI / GS or the Sound Canvas sound set.
@@TechToTunes Now after relistening the Hyper Canvas sounds closer to the samples on the SC-88 or later modules rather than the SC-55. The overdrive guitar on the SC-88 and the HyperCanvas is basically the same. (I used E1M1 to compare the guitars and they're basically the same)
SC88 is basically SC-55 with more. All the SC55 sounds are in the SC55 sound bank. I can't remember if there was a setting for sound banks and I don't have it installed at the moment as I just upgraded my machine.
TTS is a plug in that takes midi data and converts it to the sound of a Roland Sound Canvas, specifically the HyperCanvas software they made years ago. Exporting MIDI would be part of Cakewalk. It can export MIDI. I haven't done a tutorial but I could probably put something together if it is specific. What do you mean export midi with different sound? MIDI doesn't actually have sound, it controls other devices to make the sound.
@@TechToTunes thanks for your reply, like making 1 midi song with different type of sound intruments in different channels , like in van basco player you can see when you play a midi song you can see channel 1 to 16 and every channels it assigned with different instruments
@@Fghjk-hs9zd TTS is also broken down into 16 channels, which is the 16 different instruments that you can see. Each track is one channel. I have a new system coming in soon, I will start up videos again then and may put something together that may help.
This is amazing, thank you - I thought being able to play music with the MT-32 option via Munt was an upgrade from the Sound Blaster in Quest for Glory IV, but wow, this is awesome. That said, I seem to be having some trouble with the game not playing sound effects or speech - it seems to be ignoring the virtual Sound Blaster card (set separately from the music device). Any ideas/suggestions?
They are definitely two separate things. SB card has its settings and MIDI separate to that. Maybe volume settings may be an issue. Check the mixer in Windows to see if DosBox volume is set up as SB sounds would come through DosBox, MIDI sounds through the DAW/Munt. See how you go.
Hi, i contacted the Korg service center in mumbai for the contact strip as you don't get them here in ahmedabad. The Mumbai Store said there were two different types of contact strips, can someone help me out with which ones are used in the 2011 Korg Kronos 73?
Amazing tutorial! Now, my DosBox setup is complete, with MT32 (Munt), Gravis Ultrasound, Covox, and finally, the legendary Sound Canvas. All hot-swappable from inside the DosBox so there is no need to muck about with the config file and restart. I just write an appropriate [config -set “midi midiconfig=1(or 2)] as the first line of the batch file that calls the executable, in accordance with what game sounds best on which hardware (e.g. Ultima 7 sucks on SC, while Albion is horrible on MT32) and Bobbin’s my uncle! The batch files were already there as I needed to mount/unmount CD images, change memory and CPU settings etc., so adding a single extra line is no work at all. And now it’s all conveniately automated. Thank you, once again.
First of all thank you very much and I have been able to make it work with BreakThru! in windows 3.11 ... But, I gave it a try with the Zorro game (that i have in another dosbox independent) and I wouldn't know if it was me when I accidentally pressed a key in the process or it was the game itself but ... now it doesn't work anymore .. not even with it breakthru! game. It's a bit strange... everything seems in order.
I could see that using the Volume Menu with the Music On it sends a lot of bytes to loopMidi, maybe because of it it hangs and crashed.... I think it's safer to put the Music Off before adjusting the volume in the game of Zorro to prevent this... Beware of Zorro Bugs (?)...
@@TechToTunes wait midi to usb adapter is a thing? I totally didn't know about that. Well in that case I'd get ether an older sound canvas or a MT 32. That and a buckling spring model M would make my Dosbox setup complete. I've already have a period correct ps/2 Microsoft ball mouse and a original gameport garvis gamepad pro I found thrifting new complete and in the original box. Naturally I needed a gameport to usb adapter for it of course. Thankfully by some fluke we still had a radio shack branded one from back in the day around.
Partially Worked for me ! The key feeling changed a bit after the replacement becoming slighly harder but the problem was fixed !!! Finally after days recording midi without any need for double notes correction. The problem showed up again in a lesser extent.... !! So overall it works nicely. I just hope it will last and does not come back when the rubber age.
Awesome setup and tutorial! But can I get Windows 95 version of all the required Software as I want to get Midi out of my Retro PC without Dos Box as I have real Dos? was looking to just buy a Roland SC-55
I have found Windows 95 to be a limitation in many ways, especially drivers, even compared to Windows 98. There is a way though to get SoundCanvas on Win98 and that is using Hypercanvas. I may do a video soon on that.
