I finally played with regsvr32.exe, so I can change my answer to YES, it appears you can have JUST TTS-1 without Sonar/Cakewalk/Music Creator but:

1) You need to copy the TTS-1 folder to someplace before you uninstall Sonar, Cakewalk, Music Creator, etc otherwise, it will disappear (be uninstalled) as I said before.

2) Need to know if the tts-1.dll is 32 or 64 bit's. Assuming you have copied the latest TTS-1 install (the one installed by Cakewalk by Bandlab) it will be the 64 bit only version. You can verify this using a few tools or simply look at the TTS-1.dll file size if it is the 64-bit version it will be 5,973 KB's (the 32-bit version of the .dll is 5,887 KB's)

3) To install the 64-bit version you will need to run the regsrv32.exe found in the C:\Windows\SysWoW64 folder (yea I know it LOOKS backa$$wards). Open a Command Line [if you don't know how to do this then quit right now] I ran mine as administrator (not sure you have too but I know that works).

Go to the C:\windows\sysWOW64 folder and run this:

Regsvr32 "drive letter:\folder where TTS-1 folder is\TTS-1.dll"

You will need to include the quotes around the full TTS-1 path including the file name TTS-1.dll


it should say success


FYI to install the 32-bit version it is almost the same: you run regsvr32 found in the C:\Windows\system32 instead of the one in the SysWoW64 folder (like I said it looks backa$$wards). You can have BOTH versions (64 and 32 bit versions) running but you have to change one of the TTS-1.dll file names. I copied the 32-bit version and called it "tts-1 (32).dll" (real original, I know) - they each show up as labeled as "Cakewalk TTS-1" within the respective versions of BIAB, Realband and other apps that can use DX/DXi's

good luck
Larry
