Yes. All areas are explained deep enough to get you started. I did not have to use the written manual ever since i got the dvd.

Importing SMF's works great. There is even an extract function that will split up the midi channels nicely, if it is a type 0 file. After that you can do whatever you want with it. Switch the sounds. Edit events, filter events, add samples...

Since i have the FS i hardly use Logic for sequencing anymore. The cool thing is that without the big computer display it forces you to listen to your music instead of looking at it. The Neptunes still do all their sequencing on a Korg 01/W. I would not call them underpaid.

<t>In the pattern mode you create a pattern that can be triggered in song mode. This means that you tell the sequencer wich patterns to play.<br/> <br/> I suggest you just hit "Record", then make the setting: Loop/Punch "LOOP (4 MEAS)".<br/> <br/> Make sure you are in performance mode. Press the big...

<t>Until today i was using the USB connection to import the files. I found out that when i drop the file in the folder the Fantom shows a blue box "USB ACCESS", then it takes like 30 to 60 seconds and the messages is shown a second time. Then the file is received by the Fantom. <br/> <br/> So today ...

<t>"Is that because the FS only recognises the file type it is set up for in the System Setup, Sampling menu?"<br/> <br/> No. Right now, i have set it on AIFF. Today i can import WAV, but not AIFF. Yesterday i was able to import AIFF.<br/> <br/> Sometimes Midi Files are recognized, but i am not able...

Okay, now i can import wav files, but no aiff files. Mmmmmmh...?

<t>Thanks Lawrence!<br/> <br/> 1. i tried that - negative, but thanks for the info.<br/> 2. not sure - should that be a problem?<br/> 3. i have tried several files, none work.<br/> <br/> I can open these files with Logic and they play back on any media player.<br/> <br/> I just noticed that i can't ...

<t>I want to import .mid files into the Fantom.<br/> <br/> When i drop the file into the [SNG] folder and try to load it as a song the file does not appear in the Song List. But the file is there because i can see it in File Utility mode. <br/> <br/> Sometimes the file apears in the [SNG] folder. Wh...

As far as i understand the MV8000 does not really offer 8 channels of recording in the classical sense. The audio has to be loaded into ram to be played back.

<t>The strongest point (towards the Fantom S) for me was the sound.<br/> <br/> I originally wanted to buy the Motif ES, but the more i listened to it the more i realized that it had not the sound i was looking for. I listened to the demos at motifator.com, i listened to every sound library and to ev...

<t>I agree with you on the quality of the effects. I only have my Fantom for a week now, but the effects really blew me right away. I always liked the Roland guitar effects on synths. Daft Punk anyone? And i prefer them over Logic's effects. Very musical, very useable, very pleasing, very easy - jus...

<r>It is for Logic 6 and (obviously) OS9 & OSX only. With your connection the streaming will take to long, sorry. I don't know if the DVD's are worth the money to you. I was happy with the streaming video for 25$. But it is a very good course, i would say. <br/> <br/> Here is another one: <URL u...

I also use the light setting. You can also set the velocity to 127 and the press the MultiVelo button to get 16 dif. velocity levels.
