Set the fantom G in studio mode, choose your palette of sounds there and in Sibelius use the same midi input number as output number.

make sure in the system settings that MIDI is transmitted via the USB cable, not the MIDI cable.

hey gil,

I think the 'crackling' sound is actually a note cut off by the machine to give room for a new note. When a waveform suddenly stops you hear that kind of crackling. i.e. when you cut an audiofile and didn't pay attention to the start of the wave you'll hear the same.

lol rbarkhouse, that happened to me too! I was like... what the hell is this shit? I didn't know how to turn it off so I saved my work and rebooted the fantom G. haha.

I don't have access to my fg7 but here are some things that instantly come to mind:

go to the master effects section and insert a hard limiter.

go to sound settings in the system menu and set the system volume to -6db.

does it still clip?

<t>maybe a failing model?<br/> <br/> I've used my fantom G7 alot for gigs too. It even fell on its side once (while it was still in its flightcase, luckily). Never had an issue about sudden live mode switching/pink noise/semitones. I've actually never had an issue before.<br/> <br/> There was this o...

[x] 1. Not at all, couldn't care less.

Haha, wonderful poll.

<t>what VST intruments are you using?<br/> <br/> I use NI B4 II on a macbook with 4GB memory and I can put the latency as low as 8ms. I've set the buffersize as small as possible in the driver's settings, otherwise I still had to put it on 11ms.<br/> <br/> I can't hear any difference in delay if the...

and yeah... comparing the fantom G to a korg PA800... come on man...

*edit*: the korg PA800 costs alot too! What the heck is it? I've never heard of it.

<t>Have you tried other piano patches than G-Grand? I mainly use Super NY-Grand.<br/> <br/> I gig about once a month with my band and for our music the piano suffices. I mean it's a live instrument and for live purposes the piano's are just fine. Onstage they actually sound pretty awesome and they s...

just buy vanguard or nexus from reFX and be done with it. haha.

one word of advice: don't swear at random in lyrics (i'm talking about Willy Wonka).

en probeer het ook engels te houden

yeah I also think the synth section could actually use an improvement. Most of the patches are kind of lame and unusable in today's electronic music.

<t>I am trying to get the best results for using the fantom g together with native instruments B4 on a macbook. Right now I got the fantom G hooked up with the laptop via a usb cable and am using the fantom G as the audio/midi interface. It works great and I can put the latency as low as 12ms for sm...

<t>the sympathetic resonance should only kick in if used with a sustain pedal.<br/> <br/> that said, it's a VERY subtle effect indeed... maybe just don't "try" to hear any difference. You should save a piano patch without the resonance effect, then edit the patch to have resonance, save it, and then...
