Fantom and Xp80 with Omnisphere

Post by fjs714 »

Hi Fellas,
Spectrasonics released Omnisphere on Sept. 15. If anyone has ordered it can you tell me if I can use the Fantom x and/or the Xp 80 as midi keyboards to use it? Would it be difficult to do?
Thanks Frank

With a synth like the XP-80 or Fantom-S, you'd need a MIDI interface to make it work like a MIDI keyboard with your computer (the cheapest one is Edirol UM-1EX for about $50). Newer models like Fantom-X, Fantom-Xa and Juno-G have MIDI over USB function standard. So in either case you can control Omnisphere just like with any other MIDI keyboard.
