gmp Posted Tuesday at 12:50 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:50 PM I used Translator to convert several Akai presets and samples to the Roland Fantom format. It put them in the correct folders and the bass plays just fine after loading it into the Fantom memory card. With the drums, is there something different we have to do with the drums like a drum preset section in the memory? I'd like to know the best procedure for importing loading and playing the drums. Right now the problem seems to be simply playing the drums that are on the memory card. Should we be using a certain bank and preset in order to play it from cakewalk?

Ross Smithe Posted Tuesday at 01:46 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:46 PM (edited) Not exactly sure what you're asking, if you're talking about where to put a new patch/preset in the Fantom memory. If so, that would be more of a Fantom question than Cakewalk one. Seems like the thing to do would be to find an empty user bank/slot on the synth and place it in one of those.

gmp Posted Tuesday at 03:02 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 03:02 PM Yes it is a Fantom question. I'm hoping someone who owns one can chime in. The Roland Clan Forums is not working as far as letting new users join. Old users can still post, but I've tried various ways to contact the forum and several have said it's dead. I've tried other forums and no response. This is such a great forum, I hope someone who has a Fantom can give some insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could find some help there. I have 3 hardware synths in my studio (Korg, Yamaha, Alesis) but no Fantom. The vast majority out there are just using VSTi's with controllers now, you know?! I wanted a Roland sound library also and actually considered a Fantom, but for that I opted for Zenology 😁 Edited Wednesday at 02:12 AM by Ross Smithe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberwolf Posted Wednesday at 04:22 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:22 AM Are you sending the MIDI on channel 10? If not, try that; it's the "roland" channel for drums (yamaha may use 16 instead). Some drum things don't respond to any other channel than the "drum" channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmp Posted Wednesday at 01:10 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 01:10 PM I joined the Facebook for a Fantom user group, hopefully I'll be able to post soon. The Fantom user is a singer I'm recording a project for and he's out of state, so I can't actually help in person. The bass sound plays fine with cakewalk. He's having trouble with the drums. Midi channel 10 is a very good tip, possibly that will resolve it. He uses it live as a sound module with cakewalk on his laptop If someone actually has the Fantom, please chime in thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
