Roland Fantom XR midi issue.. help!

kriscain · 18th April 2007

just realized i posted this in the wrong section... so i'll post it here instead.

is there a way to browse the "list" on the roland fantom module using my midi controller.

i hope you guys understand that i mean browsing through the sounds in list mode (the way it displays when you hit shift and the left arrow key), as opposed to how it is when its in patch mode. I want to be able to hit the arrow keys on my keyboard (kurzweil k2500xs) and browse through the list, with the same results as when i use the arrows on the module itself.

Cuz it's annoying to have to browse on the interface on the module, and go to my keyboard to hear the sound afterwards.

hope i'm explaining it right. I'm sure there's a way... and i'm doing something wrong... i couldnt imagine other producers getting up and going to there rack everytime they want to change sounds on a rack module.

thanks

perhaps something like motu unisyn is what you are looking for! of course program switching and things like that are no problem via midi! you have to find out which midi control messages are needed and so on!

which daw do you use?

i use cubase sx 3

im trying to figure out a way to switch my programs on the fantom in the order that's its setup on the list. As opposed to the order that the preset preferences are in patch mode or perform mode.

you might get the best answers in the cubase forum! but i think that this will be a lot work!
