I see in the 2005 video that Biab had a button to access the higher bank patches. Is this available to be used on the Cakewalk TTs-1 GM are the higher octaves available to choose. I haven't figured out how to access them, but the 2005 New Features had a button setup to work on the VSC.. Would that work with cakewalk vst? Also isn't the TTS-1 the same as the Virtual Sound Canvas? What are the differences? if any?
TTS-1 can use the extended instrument set available in General Midi 2 (GM2). Below is a pdf file that explains in detail the capabilities of the multi-timbrel TTS-1 soft synth. The synth is still remarkably versatile and unique to have been first released in 2004.
It is not a VST though. It's actually a DX instrument. Band-in-a-Box, RealBand and Cakewalk by BandLab support DX instruments so those programs can use it but some programs, Audacity for example, don't support DX use.
The VSC or Virtual Sound Canvas is similar to TTS-1 but there are some differences. VSC was a Roland product while TTS-1 was a product Roland made for Sonar's parent company. While both use samples to create their instrument sounds the VSC sounds emulate sounds from the Roland Sound Canvas series of hardware products while the TTS-1 has it's own, unique instrument sounds. TTS-1 was briefly released as a boxed, standalone Cakewalk VST product. Finally VSC was only released as a 32 bit DX instrument while TTS-1 has both 32 and 64 bit varieties.

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
This new panel offers built-in specific support for the Reaper® DAW API allowing direct transfer of Band-in-a-Box® files to/from Reaper® tracks!
When you run the Plugin from Reaper®, there is a panel to set the following options:
-BB Track(s) to send: This allows you to select the Plugin tracks that will be sent Reaper.
-Destination Reaper Track: This lets you select the destination Reaper track to receive media content from the Plugin.
-At Bar: You can select a bar in Reaper where the Plugin tracks should be placed.
-Start Below Selected Track: This allows you to place the Plugin tracks below the destination Reaper track.
