Thanks

Eureka, heavens to Murgatroyd and Land a Goshen, its fixed. Notice I didn't say solved. Thanks to all who help. I got it to work though I still don't know exactly what was wrong with it. I set all the controllers to OMNI, turned Cakewalk off. Turned cakewalk back on and set everything to none, turned cakewalk off and back on. Then set everything to Fantom XR, then turned cakewalk off and back on. And it started working!!! I suspected something was stuck in Omni mode even though it didn't show it. So I thing turning it off off and on caused it to re-write the setup when everything was set to OMNI or none might have caused it. Possible a bug, likely operator error, but anyway its working now. Thanks for everyone's help.

Yes I've checked its not in omni mode. All the tracks are being sent the same patch now. I've started with a MIDI song I just downloaded and its doing the same thing. For some reason when I set everything to its own channel I only hear out of channel 1.

If I select an insturment lets say for track 1 it will play the correct patch, but all the other tracks play the same patch. Example: Piano on track 1 , Bass on track 2. If I change track 2 "roomy bass", Track 2 plays "roomy bass", but so does track 1. If I change track 1 to "so true" track 1 plays "so true", but now track 2 went from "roomy bass" to "So true". Doesn't change the parameters you see, but the fantom has changed. I used a MIDI sniffer and I can see a change patch event on any track will cause a change patch event for every track.

Thanks for trying. I wonder if having more than one impute selected on the instrument definition will cause that.

I just tried a different song, just to see if it was something in that song, but same thing on different song.

I've tried about everything.

Sorry

Yes

Yes, If I change one they all change. I thought maybe I had something set to omni but I dont.

Gotcha Trying to fix why all the channel banks change when ever I change any of the other ones.

I was able to get the ins files for the XR and have installed them. I uninstalled and reinstalled cakewalk last night. They will change now, but the problem is if I change one of the patches or bank selects, they all change. As you can tell from the picture, I changed the bank for channel, and all the other bank for channels 2 - 10 changed as well. I'm stumped and have ran out of things to try.

Thanks so much for the files. I was able to install all of them without any problem. Now to ask another dumb question, I guess you have to have the SRX boards to be able to use the SRX definitions?

Thanks for the response, sorry it took so long. This is a XML file. How do I get it into cakewalk. Its looking for an ins file.

Hello all. MIDI newbie here. I'm using cakewalk and my Roland Fantom XR. I have setup an instrument definition file I downloaded from Cakewalk. I select the bank and patch, the bank changes, but It will only play the first patch in the bank. I've gone into event list and tried editing it a few times, no luck, I've inserted patch changes, no luck. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. In my instrument there is no longer a general MIDI selection or any other instruments except for the Roland Fantom. Can I reset it back to factory settings? I've included some screen shots of my setup. Any help will be appreciated.
