... if I recall correctly the synth has been a necessity for some time. I remember calling BB support the first time I tried to work with the program. It needs a synth to render and play the music..... real band too IIRC.

I like to use TTS so its the one loaded for my programs.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
