<r>take a look at my tutorial about the Fantom-S/X memory structure and file management.<br/> <URL url="http://fantom.wilkesworld.co.uk/memory.htm">http://fantom.wilkesworld.co.uk/memory.htm</URL><br/> <br/> I didn't know there was a fans.svs file - but I don't have a Fantom-X.<br/> As the fans.svd ...

<r>FYI, the first part of the absolutely excellent Sound-on-Sound magazine masterclass - "Roland XV & JV Power User Tips" -has now been put in the free zone on the SoS website<br/> <br/> <URL url="http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/nov03/articles/xvjvmasterclass.htm?session=fed3d49beb857e3304cc2846...

meanwhile, whilst my website is has been up and down like a yoyo.

I will be moving to a more reliable host (I hope) sometime next week. Paying a bit more money, but for someone who is unlikely to be gone tomorrow. (this is the 2nd host that has gone bust on me)

<t>The simple thing you probably are not doing is switching to performance mode<br/> <br/> You then have 16 parts which (basically) line up to 16 tracks.<br/> <br/> You select the patch (sound) you want for each part in the performance.<br/> Then select a part, and record that into the corresponding...

<t>The quick start quide is an excellent tutorial. It isn't a manual as such.<br/> <br/> Surely it makes sense to read that first (it won't take you long), then ask questions if you have a problem or are confused about a particular point.<br/> <br/> Perhaps then, you could also be more specific abou...

by creating a Rhythm pattern.
Press Rhythm Edit

Loz

By reading the quick start manual that came with your Fantom. THere is a whole section on creating a multitrack song

Loz

you can have rhythms on any track/channel

Loz

<t>because the tracks are all using the same MIDI channel?<br/> <br/> There is no relationship between a track in a sequence and a part in a performance.<br/> <br/> The relationship is actually the MIDI channel.<br/> <br/> i.e. the Track contains events for a MIDI Channel<br/> And a part in the perf...

<r>You can download several Mellotron multisamples for free here <URL url="http://www.hollowsun.com/vintage/mellotron/">http://www.hollowsun.com/vintage/mellotron/</URL> including a number of choirs.<br/> <br/> Then just import them into the FX.<br/> Set the root note for each sample (you can find t...

<t>Not sure what you are trying to do.<br/> <br/> The USB connection on the Fantom-X is to enable you to connect the FX to a computer.<br/> This enables the FX to appear as a drive on your PC desktop.<br/> <br/> You cannot do anything else with it.<br/> You cannot connect a USB drive to the FX if th...

<r>The prize for the most mystical beast to program (IMHO) had to be Yahama FM synths like the DX7. Not only was it complex to understand how FM worked, but you had to program it all through a small display. I, like many others at the time, loved the sound though.<br/> <br/> However, this complexity...

funny enough I am back on line today

But thanks for your recommendations

Loz

<t>the original analog synths with no presets also forced you to be very creative too. And learn how to program patches.<br/> <br/> I don't want this to sound derogatory, but I bet there are members of this forum that don't know what things like what the TVA does.<br/> <br/> And of course, we should...

<t>I wish I did have some old tapes, but no, they were recorded over long ago.<br/> <br/> Annoyingly, I have almost zeros recordings of my past musical experience. It never seemed important at the time.<br/> Thank god for MIDI - that's one format I have been able to keep as I moved from platform to ...
