Re: Anyone using a mouse with their fantom?

I use the mouse in many cases just to preserve the buttons.

I figure I can always buy a new mouse, but if the buttons on the keyboard start to go I don't know what it might cost me.

Re: Aftertouch

I agree.

I have to press so hard to get aftertouch that I'm afraid I may damage the board.

Re: Here's a little song

Very nice. Do you mind if I download the MP3?

Do you mind sharing which patches you used in the song?

If they were user-tweaked patches I'd still be curious to know what patch you started from.

Thanks

Re: Songs dropping phrases

My USB stick is 4MB. (or is that 4GB???)

I'm at work right now, so I don't remember which brand I'm using.

Re: Songs dropping phrases

<t>Thanks for the recommendations.<br/> <br/> I don't think the problem I'm facing is related to reuse of a phrase, though. This has happened to me on several different occasions. The first time or two I thought that maybe I'd done something incorrectly, but I don't think so now.<br/> <br/> The most...

Songs dropping phrases

On several occasions the Fantom G has "lost" phrases from within a song. I hadn't made any changes at all to the song.

Has anyone else had this issue. It's very frustrating.

<t>I create music as a hobby.

I may do that some time, but I have plenty of other things to do with my time than reading through a file dump.

Re: How to import / use drum patterns?

<t>I used an incorrect term in my post earlier. I've captured the patterns from my midi drum machine as Phrases (one Phrase for each drum machine pattern) and then arranged them into Rhythm Patterns in the Fantom G.<br/> <br/> So I haven't created a new Rhythm SET - I've just recorded the patterns a...

Re: How to import / use drum patterns?

<t>If you already have a midi drum machine you can hook it up to the Fantom G and record each pattern as a Phrase. Then give your phrase a good name and create Rhythm Sets that reference the phrases.<br/> <br/> I've done this personally and it takes a while to get all the patterns recorded, but you ...
