Hey Andy thanks for helping me look into this. First what I found is using the dedicated pitch bend toggle is better than using the knob because it returns to 0 but the knob will affect the rest of the patches because placing it back to 0 is nearly impossible. It takes a little getting use to but ov...

What's up Kevtech, welcome to the clan. I use the Fantom X8 with the Mv8000 which is very similar to the MPC4000 and the combination of the 2 is amazing. Plus that's how most big production studios are setup for overall functionality. The 1Gb card will be more than enough in my opinion. What I did w...

Ok Andy I'm stuck. The MFX automation seemed to work fine yesterday but today I can't seem to make it work and its got me aggy. I've assigned everything but i must have changed something along the way and now I can't get the effects to respond. Anyway any light on the subject would be greatly apprec...

MFX AUTOMATION What's up Andy thanks for the response. In order to get the MIDI implementation right I had to go to Control settings in Mixer mode and change the assignable knobs to "General 1-4" then go back to MFX control and change the Source to correspond with the Control settings the...

What's up clan I have 2 questions. First is there a way to route MFX automation to an effect like a slicer or flanger and control the amount of saturation with the assignable control knobs in realtime. Second is there a way to increase the amount of pitch value so that I can use automation with the ...

Whats up guys I need a little help. Ive been trying to build a rising synth and have come really close but Im looking for a little more control. I took a tech synth, set it to a rising envelope and made the adjustments in the pitch envelope so that it starts low and end at a higher pitch but the pro...

Ive been using this technique for a while when Im building a songs in performance/mixer mode. I like to layer instruments together to get a more realistic sound. Go to mixer mode select part view, then go to the external page, now from this page on the far left all the channels are numbered 1-16 ver...

What's up man. What I do when I'm recording is always check your voices by holding shift and hitting voice monitor. If something is using too many voices turn down the release on that instrument and that will save your polyphony. Because if your instruments have a long release and your using a susta...

<t>Whats up fellas, thanks so much for your replies. What I ended up doing was based on what you said wudsiba. I found the 808 kick that was already in the fantom and basically filtered, sampled and stretched it and it sounds amazing. The reason why I really only wanted to find that one specific wav...

<t>What's up clan I need a little help. I'm trying to create a few 808 bass patches but I don't want the 808 sound kit just the bass. Also I purchased the tweakbook and it has some topics touching on this but I need something a little more in-depth with options that I can do in the box so I don't ha...
