I have tried the sysex/rps stuff but that only changes patches for me doesnt do performances. Is there a way to setup sysex/rps to change performances (may be using the MSB/LSB PC) seamlessly?
Any one of these solutions will do my job.
Thanks for your help.
If it's possible, I'd like to know as well. I don't know of a way to change performances, or even patches without any sustaining tone generators being stopped in the process.
I've used these sorts of workarounds in the past:
1. "Implement fast instrument changes on a new channel in performance mode instead of doing a program change." Works fine unless I need more than 16 channels to get things done. It's kind of a 2 step process where I bring up another channel, and don't turn down the first one until I've let those keys up. No problem at all with MIDI sequences....but not as easy in a live playing situation.
2. I've set some patches up to do transitions with CC events. I.E. Variant one in tone generators 1 and 2, while variant two is in slots 3 and 4....use a CC event to switch or crossfade between them.
3. I've also done something similar to CC on individual patches, but with stacks of parts in performance mode (I.E. parts 1 and 2 listening over channel 1, with a CC switch or fade set-up to bring in parts 3 and 4...also listening over channel 1.
So....unless you can build that kind of seamless transition using 128 tone generators over 16 channels in performance mode without actually doing a performance patch change, then I don't think there's a way.
Don't forget that if you use the Fantom X software editor, you can copy and paste chunks of one performance to another. In this case, unless you're just flat out of 'parts' or 'channels' to get it done...you could merge multiple patches/performances and use the controller matrix to set up smoother crossfade style transitions. If you have a way to send sysex dumps in the middle of a performance, sometimes you can change everything but the sustaining patch in various stages without doing a performance or patch change.
For the most part I just have to plan any program or performance patch changes at times when notes are not sustaining or re-engineer my performance parts/patches so I can do it some other way.
