Roland Fantom G to Midi Controller Performance set up

Музыка

In this video I wanted to show you how to hook up a midi controller to the Fantom G and have the Fantom G supply separate sounds to the midi controller than what is currently playing inside the Fantom G. This function is a very cheap way to expand your keyboard rig and get more work out of your Fantom G. I hope it helps you guys!

Take care,

    @@EdDiazKeys Thanks, Ed, it worked great, only took ten minutes! It works as planned! A full bass, plus 5/7th of a piano at the same time! Or a bass, two octaves of both piano and organ, plus an octave of a synth or sax! Our 3-piece band is going to sound even more awesome! It feels like it took forever to learn the DS, being a bass player. But now, with the help of a lot of folks, you included, we're covering stuff no other bands having five or fewer people can touch! We all three sing, lots of harmonies too.

    Hi Ed - it's so good to see another G video from you. Makes me feel Roland have not totally abandoned it, although it is nice to have some confirmation in seeing it listed a s 'legacy' on the Roland US site. This was a really handy video, and the kind of depth for flexibility that I love to see. Sometime, someone (not me) will go into the synthesis side and demo making custom sounds.. All the best you and yours. N

    Hello, I don't believe there will be a way to sync transpose. My suggestion would be to create a patch with the transpose written into the patch. That would be the easiest way. However, make sure and have the transposed key wriiten into the name of the patch so there is no confusion.

    Hi Ed, great video. One question though. I know you can split the keyboard and have different sounds over the Fantom keyboard but can you split the keyboard on the controller keyboard and have a different sound on the upper section of the keyboard compared to the sound you have on the lower end? This is not layering the sound as your video shows but it is splitting the keyboard. Cheers, Paul.

  • @narekmusic

    Hi Paul, unfortunately that option is not gonna work with a simple midi controller. The problem is, since your midi controller is controlling only one midi channel, you won't be able to split different channels to different split section of the keyboard. However, depending on what kind of midi controller you have you can also use splits on your midi controller to control different splits. For example: if you have another fantom s/x/g (I don't know why one would waste an entire workstation) you could assign different section/splits of on workstation to another one. I hope this answers your question
