ok, well im in a rap-ish band, where i make all the music...so for live, its usually me playing drums over an ipod (songs with vocals/drums removed)....i dont see how i could do anything different.

i do this too, although i do add effects in the fantom-s....how do you guys then prepare songs for live performance? when what is in your fantom sounds nothing like the finished product on the computer...

is if the fantom had a timer in it....like, as your song is playing, it shows how many minutes/seconds it is.

that would be really cool.

with all of this "blah blah said: " stuff, shouldnt there be a 'quote' function like on other boards?

<t>its really a different kind of creativity and talent.<br/> <br/> for about a year i made music with my XP-30, and no samples or anything.<br/> <br/> after a while i just exhuasted all ideas i had (and they weren't very good to begin with).<br/> <br/> with sampling though you can have more than ju...

<t>i think a lot of you are ignoring what sampling can be.<br/> <br/> it is not always like kanye west, stealing a part of a famous song and looping it.<br/> <br/> i like to take a sample from something (usually a song i love, like tom waits, for example) and do crazy shit to it, to make it unrecogn...

<t>i didnt closely read this thread, but think thats ridiculous.<br/> <br/> sampling definitely has not ruined pop music.<br/> <br/> <br/> especially not the type of sampling i do.<br/> <br/> yeah if kanye west just steals some loop from an old famous song, that sucks.<br/> <br/> ex: you know the G ...

ive read artemio's repsonse to this several times.....he says to quantize to 40-60%

hey RedEye


can a Fantom-S take 512Mb cards?

i was under the impression that it can't take more than 128, but i may be wrong. if i am, i wasted a lot of money on 3, 128 cards.

yeah i always just load all the samples.....see i told you im being stupid....

i have my board set to load all of them on startup.

what do you mean by 'mark set' the samples?


i'd like a nice, clear, detailed description of what to do....if possible.....thanks...

<t>thanks for the response.<br/> <br/> but within the 'write' function, there is an option for 'samples'.<br/> <br/> so thats why i'm confused.<br/> <br/> <br/> as for your question,<br/> <br/> i never import drum loops. what i do is take a loop (usually something i find within a song i like, not so...

<t>i've never had a firm grasp on how to manage samples and what not.<br/> <br/> i sample songs and things for every beat i make, and during the process, save it all by going to Save/Load, then Save Song and Samples. i always save to Card.<br/> <br/> i have never used the "Write" function in the yea...

hey Czar
