Error during patch transfer.

hey g-drive

from the computer, are you able to browse to all the folders in the fantom?

Patches and other settings are sent to the Fantom-S from the PC via MIDI, not USB.

The USB is used for moving files to and from the Fantom-S.

But if you want to use the Editor or Librarian software you must use a MIDI connection. There isn't a "file" as such to transfer in this case.

The error message you are getting is because you don't have MIDI connected, or you haven't configured the Editor/Librarian to use it correctly

See SETUP>SETUP MIDI DEVICES in the software.

FYI, the new Fantom-X also supports MIDI over USB. You still have to set up the software to use a MIDI connection, but you no longer need separate USB and MIDI cables as you do with the Fantom-S

I'd better add that I transfer patches along with all other files between fs & pc for backup purposes only.

Thanks for your help guys. I did find the problem. The Fantom-S Library software won't work on the midi ports of my Soundblaster Audigy soundcard, BUT the Library Software will work on my laptops MOTU midi device.

The Fantom-S software WILL work with your audigy
That's what I use
You just need to set up the software correctly.

but sounds like you have a solution anyway
