midi file for resampling

<t>I an interested in sampling some kits from my x6 into some old school samplers and then recording them into my computer to be re-chopped and sequenced there. My first thought is to make a midi file that triggers each note...perhaps even at different velocities (to capture any multisamples). Has a...

Realtime controllers and midi data scaling

<t>I think scaling is the right word... <br/> <br/> when using a realtime controller (either one of the fantom's knobs or an external fader box like my peavey 1600) i run into problems when mixing track volume levels. For example, I make a beat and then I tweak the volume levels so everything sits c...

Re: Editing Songs from short loops to full Songs

<t>Not to ressurect an old thread...but to ressurect an old thread I have been trying to find the best way to work. bear in mind i am (more or less) making hip hop tracks so there are not tons of changes...arrangement is generally alot of subtractive mixing. <br/> <br/> Attempt 1) <br/> I built a 16...

Working with Patterns and building songs

<t>When building songs I understand that I can either cut and paste section from withing the track view screen or I can create patterns and organized them using patterns calls in step edit mode. I have tinkered with both methods. <br/> <br/> However, I was wondering how most other people work. Do yo...

Re: Noowbie question for OG user...

Hmm. I actually remember something from my nightly manual review (no joke, I am obsessed-hahah). I remember something about setting a "preferred rhythm kit" or something. I will check and get back to you on this.

Peavey 1600x + Fantom X6-interesting setups

<t>Wow. I just connected my Peavey 1600x fader box to my x6 and this is lovely. I now have 16 faders and 16 buttons I can configure that %&%7 out of...assuming i can find my manual:) <br/> <br/> The first preset is for volume and mutes. I loaded up a song i have been working on and it is so much...

Re: For those who know about the Rudiments of music

<t>Like the majority of american pop music: 4/4 <br/> <br/> Quantize loosely, if at all. <br/> <br/> if you use swing, set to moderate percentages. <br/> <br/> For a 90s ish chopped break sound you can well chop a break beat into 8th notes and punch in until it feels right...or program your own brea...

First impressions of my new (used) fantom x6

<t>I have to say I am loving my X6. As I had hoped, it is very user friendly. I still have a lot to learn about it, but I am having a blast banging out sequences on this thing. I had been working primarily with Kontakt and logic etc for the past few years and although I love those tools, it is so re...

Re: Roland Authorized repair centers

<t>Oh. I did call them. And they indicated they hadn't worked on one but they said they had access to all of the serivce manuals on the roland website. I don't doubt that they are skilled...i was just nervous about their experience or lack thereof with this particular unit. I think all in all we are...

Roland Authorized repair centers

<t>When i search the Roland site for authorized repair centers, I get a couple of places (an hour away) that specialize in repairing organs. They sound like they can fix my fantom but I get the feeling they have never seen on of these before. On the other hand there is a shop that is closer to where...

Re: Good news/bad news re: my Fantom X from ebay: Knobs brok

Yeah, I don't think i will fix this myself. Does anyone know how long it might take to for Roland to ship some pots from CA to the midwest? Are they fast about these things? I am impatient to start my fantoming! I hate to send this thing away already!

Re: Good news/bad news re: my Fantom X from ebay: Knobs brok

<t>I called roland (who were very easy to reach and pleasant to deal with) and they said that pots would cost about $5 a piece and a local shop said they charge about 50 an hour to work on this board...so it would seem that for 100 i might be able to get this resolved...i am afraid that other issues...

Re: Good news/bad news re: my Fantom X from ebay: Knobs brok

<t>I have tried the knobs in the various modes. I notice that if you are in patch mode that the knob assignments appear in the bottom of the screen and update as you select different modes. So it seems that the sound i am playing should be responding the changes i am making. But then i am new to the...
