Project 50 Song limit on Fantom G
20 Apr 2009, 01:28Quick question to any Fantom G users playing their own sequenced songs live on stage.
I have found that the 50 songs per project is not enough for all the sequenced songs I have in total. So I have had to create mutiple projects on my Fantom G7, project 1, project 2, project 3, etc.... copy my multisamples as required from the first project SND bank into other project SND banks so that my songs load the sounds correctly.
Problem is when playing Live I may need to load Song 32 of project 1 and then the next being say Song 12 on Project 3 and so forth.
This means having to load the individual projects everytime before I can select the song I need. People waiting, embarrasing when you have to wait for the complete project to load first to search your song required for playback and only to have to do it all again for the next song when the listed 50 songs on the current project is not what you need.
If I never played more than 50 songs a night then no problem, just put this into one Project called LIVE and we are good to go.
Asked Roland support and they need to check and find a quicker solution. I am running the later version OS.
The whole reason I upgraded my Roland XP80 and Fantom XR to a G7 was to elimate song and sample loading time on stage for all my Samples and Midi sequencers and remove the need to run a Laptop with Cakewalk running as my stage sequencer. Laptops fail, Keyboards such as the Fantom G7 should be the best replacement is what I bought it for.
I am wondering if anyone else found any quicker project load times for live stage work that they can recommend while Roland techs come back with an answer.
Otherwise I love th G for Studio work and just as my main keyboard on stage less the sequencer.
Thanks.
