Fantom G Organizer Copying songs from one project to another
Posted: 04:43, 12 February 2015
Hi a Forum user by the handle parker.bobby, has developed a piece of software which is supposed to enable one to copy songs from one project to another via your PC. He has posted a video tutorial on You Tube.

However, I can't get the Fantom G Organizer to do what it's supposed to do.
I have followed the instructions meticulously from the You Tube instruction video, however I have one or possibly two problems.
I successfully get the Fantom G Editor to do the "Export Studio Set + Patch" function. That all works fine and I added the word "Data" into the existing file name of the song - as seen on the video.
Then moving to the part of the process undertaken on the Organizer, I load my "...data.MID" file into the "Input File" field in the Copy Live/Studio Set window, I select my Output Project folder in the "Output Project Directory" field, then click the Copy Live/Studio Set button.
What happens next, appears to be the problem... or maybe part of the problem.
Whereas on the video, the software pulls up a "DOS" window behind and you see files being copied and renamed. On my set up, none of this happens; almost immediately (like half a second), the "Copy Complete Ok" button pops up. There is no apparent time being taken doing what it showed in the video - phrases or samples being copied or renamed.
When I then import the "...data.MID" file and the "song file" into my other Fantom project, I don't get my Studio set, any of the samples or even any of the original patches loading. The Song successfully re-appears in the Song screen in a multiple track format but it doesn't sound right because the studio set hasn't come across nor have any samples.
I am wondering whether I am possibly missing one step because in the video it quickly mentions "lets reset the mixer", however the video doesn't show what you actually do to reset the mixer. I'm not familiar with that function and I can't find that described in the Fantom G Manual, however I found the "Initialise" option under "Utility" in the Studio screen, which then gives me two options, one being "Default" and the other "Sound Control". I've tried doing both those to no avail, my mixer just stays with a very generic studio set of nearly all pianos - certainly not the set it's supposed to have imported across. Also, when I look in the song window, where on the original song I had sample phrases appearing in the Audio Tracks, there's nothing there at all and the song sounds completely munted.
Can anyone help? I have tried contacting parker.bobby by every means I can think of both inside and outside this forum to no avail.
The version of the software that I'm using is V2.1 the video depicts V2.0 I wonder whether a bug has accidentally been introduced into V2.1 so maybe if I could access a copy of V 2.0, that may solve my problems.
Any other suggestions gratefully welcomed.
