I assumed that since the Band Lab Cakewalk program is only for 64 bit operating systems, that the TTS-1 synth that came with it should work, and there is only one TTS-1 listed. I noticed that, in trying differing driver sets (ASIO, WDM/KS) and differing bit and sample rates, this resulted in differing problems.

How do I use TTS-1 with simple instrument tracks?
