Fantom X6 = Output 1, bleeding into Output 2 (NEED HELP)

Post by tears2040 »

First of all I am running OS version 1.00.


Ok I have my Mpc-1000 hooked up to my Fantom via Midi, I'm using the Mpc as a sequencer and the Fantom as my sound module.

After I have my sequence built I dump it into Pro Tools. I have an audio cable coming out of my Fantom into Pro Tools, and Midi cables coming out of my Mpc into Pro Toos for MIDI Synch.

My Pro Tools interface is Digi 002 Rack.

I just solo each track on my Mpc-1000 and rinse and repeat for the whole song, as you may know this shit is time consuming.
So I know the Fantom has 4 Analog outs but only two of them are balanced.

So I figured that I could at LEAST track two tracks at a time, problem is that the tracks are bleeding into each other very faintly.

I went to my mixer and assigned track 1 to output 1, and track 2 to output 2. I have two audio cables coming out of my fantom now.
So even with my outputs separated and my other tracks on the Fantom muted Output 1 and 2 are bleeding into each other.


Need some help, please

Hi tears2040, my thought is that it probably has something to do with the effects. I have also noticed a faint amount of channel 1 bleeding into channel 2 on ocassion on my X8 but I've always been able to correct it if needed.

In my case it had to do with the chorus and reverb settings. These effects are stereo and are generally returned to both channels.

You need to turn off both of these effects IN THREE PLACES see the image below:

The first place is the levels coming directly from the patch,
the second place is the type of effect (set to off) and the third place is post patch effect choice (even if you have set the effect to "thru")

The effect screen can be a little complicated. Spend a little time with that screen, learn how it operates and you should solve your problem. Note: once you get the hang of it, you will only need to turn off chorus and reverb in two of the three places and I bet you will be able to guess which ones! :)

Take care,
Dan

YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!
Not even the fine folks at Roland support could help me out, and now that I remember possible problems with signal flow it makes 100% sense.

Thank You man, so much May God Bless you

I just love it when people help eachother! Good job 'Still'! Here at Fantomized, we like to recognize individuals for their unique contributions to this great forum. Today, as a representative of Roland Japan (sort of), it is my privilege to present you with the 'GOLDEN FANNY' award for being what we would consider to be a genius! Again, on behalf of Agent Art, his Moderators, and the entire Fantomized clan, congratulations! An acceptance speech is most certainly in order!
