Controlling external modules

[sentokan]

Once I get home from work I'll do that. Thanks!!

Sentokan, do this:

1) With the Fantom-G off, hold down the EXIT button and switch the Fantom on.

2) Continue to hold the EXIT button until the Project loads. Then release the button. You should be in Single Mode.

3) Press F3 Part View.

4) Press F6 External.

5) Select the channel you wish to transmit. Play the Fantom and see if it works.

Let us know how it goes.

I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU!! For some unknown reason it works!!!
Can u tell me what it does the HOLDING of the EXIT BUTTON as I turn the Fantom on???

Also now works what the others said! :-)
SO: I want to say THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!: JunoJohn, Saxifraga, Cello, MrSteveVee.

I have a korg karma and wondered how to change banks from program bank to combination bank. On the fantom they would be called live set and single, I have no problem controlling these banks A-F, but can't figure out how to switch from program to combination. Tried different numbers in lsb, msb, but I'm missing something or maybe it's not possible. Thanks

Thing is that everytime I power the Fantom, if I don't hold EXIT, the MIDI to ext doesn't work ... :(
Don't know why... What does this EXIT do???

Why don't you save your internal project to an usb drive or pc and do a factory reset after booting with EZxIT pressed? That should permanently do the job.

This thread explains the Exit button and procedure: http://www.rolandforums.co.uk/forums/vi ... /563/#1134

Holding the EXIT button causes a "safe boot." This loads an "empty" Project.

Sentokan, I asked you to do this as a test. Since you can transmit MIDI with the safe boot, it appears that your hardware and OS is fine. The problem should be with the Project you were using. Either the Project is corrupted or you have some settings that are inappropriate. Let's figure this out!

First, make sure your Fantom-G's OS is the latest: 1.50.

Then, do this:

1) Load the Project from which you have been unable to transmit MIDI.

2) Go to Live Mode.

3) Press F2 Utility.

4) Press F6 Initialize.

5) Choose "Default," press F8 Select and OK. (Don't worry, you are not erasing anything.)

6) Press F8 Exit.

You Fantom should now transmit on External MIDI Channel 1. Play something and let us know if it works.
