jjdpro: How about expanding the 16 (External) midi tracks to 32 or 48. Thus one or two the ARX slots. Thus, expanding the external midi channel output to 32 or even 48, if you don't use a ARX expansion card... You can have 128 external MIDI tracks right now. You can't have more than 16 external MID...

Quinnx: you cannot seamlessly use the sampler while sequencing or recording you cannot choose if or not to sync pattern or drum parts you cannot edit or re-edit parts or samples in real time while using the sequencer with out dropouts or everything stoping when you stop the sequencer etc.. etc... t...

I'll play... Great thread, BTW, Quinnx. I'm going to approach this post with as much legitimate Roland tech as I can muster; that is, I'm not gonna mention VSTs, multitouch screens, or Light Peak, as cool as they may be. First of all, the name "Fantom" should be done away with. The next Ro...

<t>You can also do this from Favorites mode. Each pad can contain either a single patch, Live Set, Studio Set, or even a song. The pads switch modes and recall presets instantly. <br/> <br/> Cursor down once and you have another 16. Cursor down again and you have another 16. <br/> <br/> Favorites al...

You can also jump to a Live Set (or Studio Set)-specific assignment page by holding SHIFT and pressing either S1 or S2.

<t>If you're looking for accuracy, avoid closed-back headphones. They're great for listening, or for making sure people in the same room can sleep, but mixes made on them are inconsistent at best. <br/> <br/> I use Sennheiser HD580s for mixing, Fostex T40s for tracking vocals (they provide good cove...

1. Hold SHIFT and move one of the knobs. Assign them to different CC messages.
2. Use Spectrasonics learn (or Logic's learn) feature to map the CC messages to various onscreen knobs and sliders.
3. Write the Performance.

<t>Wait a sec, I may have spoken too soon. Not in front of the Fantom right now so I can't confirm this: <br/> <br/> 1. Press MENU, select SYSTEM, and press ENTER. <br/> 2. Press F1/F2 to select the page where you assign sliders, knobs, and buttons. <br/> 3. Assign S1 to "Master Key down" and S2 to ...

There should be a barcode sticker. The serial number is traditionally two letters and then five numbers.

DON'T SAVE PROJECTS! 1. Create an empty project on your USB flash drive (be sure to select "USB Memory" as the destination). 2. Make a song. 3. Press the red WRITE button to save your song. 4. AVOID the project menu entirely until you either: A. Fill up all 50 songs B. Fill up all 512 User...

Yep. Via MIDI clock. I'd recommend the Fantom-G be the clock master tho'.

MENU > System > Enter... F2 to select the Sync Tempo page... Turn Sync Output on... F7 (System Write)... Set XR20's clock to external (or MIDI or slave or whatever). Done.

• Make sure the Fantom's connected to the same USB port as when the driver was first installed. • Make sure you don't have the Fantom connected to any sort of USB hub (including a desktop's front ports—always use the back). • Uninstall the driver, download the newest one from the Roland Japan websit...

You only need one MIDI cable—MIDI Out of the A-800Pro to the MIDI In of the Fantom-G. Set the A-800 to MIDI channel 2 and it'll play the sound on Part 2 (or whatever parts are set to respond to Channel 2 in F3 (Part View) > Level Pan page. Hence, if you want to layer two parts with the A-800, set th...

1. Press STUDIO. Those are your 16 internal parts (not tracks). 2. Press F3 (Part View). 3. Cursor to the MIDI Ch. column and change the desired parts' channels to channel 1 (assuming part 1 was selected when first recording the track) The problem is that since all three parts respond to the same MI...

<t>The G's rhythm patterns, RPSes, and arps are all based on phrases. A project can have up to 2000 phrases available at a time, and any phrase can be used for any of the aforementioned features. <br/> <br/> The first few OSes didn't have a lot of stock patterns because, well, workstations are for m...
