Fantom G AU + Logic 8 ?

3 Jul 2008, 05:34

Hi,

Im planing to get a workstation and Fantom G is one of the choices, so heres my main question and the deal breaker :

Is using Fantom G any similar to using Virus TI in terms of DAW integration ?

I mean, can I just drop a Fantom G AU onto an Instrument Track in Logic 8 and play it via USB straight into my DAW ? (without making it my primary audio interface whatsoever, cause my MOTU is my centerpiece).

Cheers,
Chris

I don't know, but that was my question as well. I'm guessing that's how an AU/VSTi-capable device works, but since I don't have a DAW yet, I don't have a clue. I ASSUMED that the G's new AU/VSTi capability was similar to that of the VirusTI's (I have both), and I was planning on using both in a similar fashion.

If it's capable of playing even 3 tracks without glitches in Logic 8, Virus TI fashion, then Fantom G will be my weapon of choice. If not, Ill probably go with Motif XS.

It's basically just a remote control editor that shows up as a plugin. No audio is being transferred to/from the plugin; it's just a remote control. The G's audio can sent into Logic just fine, but completely independently from the plugin itself.
