Hi, Tobias -

Unfortunately, as TTS-1 is a DXi synth, it can't be loaded as a default Windows synth that you can just select as a MIDI port.

That being said, there are some options to try:

1. You certainly could use the Coolfont Virtual MIDISynth with a good GM Soundfont, and it's going to sound better that the standard Windows GM synth. It installs as a virtual hardware synth (so you select it as your default Windows synth in whatever application allows you to select it. Load whatever soundfont you want (I have several I can share) and it should do what you want, or...

2. If you really want to use TTS-1, it seems to me that Pipeline posted a link to a free utility that wraps a DXi synth as a VSTi (I can't remember the name of it right now). You could then (in theory) run that VSTi as a standalone synth using the free SAVIHost. Then by installing something like LoopBE as a virtual MIDI port, you can set your MIDI application to send to the LoopBE port and set the SAVHosted TTS-1 to receive from that LoopBE port. I imagine it would take just a few minutes to test. In theory, it should work. In fact, if I can find that "wrapper", I'll try to give it a try this evening after work.
