Copying Phrazes To A New Phraze

Does anybody know if there is a way to copy phrazes and assign them to a new phraze with a new number but not losing the old one ?

thanks

You must use the Phrase Duplicate command. Doing this, the initial and new phrases will be independent from each other. So editing the one, the other remains unaffected.

You have to be in Song Play mode and then chose Phrase List.

I think it is there under Utilities? on that page...

Phrase Duplicate...An excellent function that Dan points out in his sequencer Video

Not so excellent unfortunatelly. You cannot specify the destination number of the new phrase so it is very hard to keep it well organised. It should also have an option to limit range of data when duplicating for example to duplicate only a selected midi channel.
I find that "Power sequencer" of Phantom G is very limited in this OS version and hope it wiil be seroiusly expanded in the next update.

The only workaround we can make in order to keep things organized is to name each phrase.

I'll agree with that. But, hey, maybe it's only our imagination. :-D

Is naming the phrases supposed to be pathetic or something? Would you prefer choosing the number, and not being able to assign a name? That would be incredibly difficult to stay organized and know what everything was, even if they were all grouped together. Naming the phrase leaves no room for error. But you seem to think it is a deficiency?

I'm having trouble believing anyone's life is really THAT boring! LOL

I keep thinking I must be missing something? Is there a website somewhere where you can turn in "whining tokens" for merchandise or free trips? Is there a new category in the Guiness Book of World Records for "Fantom G Hating" and you are practicing, to get your name in it?

Wait...

Is there some kind of secret Roland Voodoo spell, where if you make the same complaints and whining in as many threads as possible, then you wake up the next morning with the features you were whining about, magically installed?

I'm not gonna try that last one though.

Especially if chicken blood is involved! :-p

I HATE CHICKEN BLOOD!

I don't even like -saying- "chicken blood"... and I've already said it three times!

Oh hell, Cyclops, whatever you have is contageous! I'm repeating myself for no rational reason! I've said chicken blood, three... ooops...damn... FOUR TIMES now!

Where's my mojo bag! HELP!!!!

Disclaimer: - I know some of this was pretty funny, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE refrain from peeing your pants! You may get some on the keyboard, and then Cyclops is likely to claim that it is a defect, that the Fantom G is also not waterproof!!! ;-)

I would bet that most of your 26 posts are towards me. I can't get this really. If you don't like my posts, don't comment them. Are you trying to make a point or something? Because I can't get it really.

I think that insulting people saying about them having contageous stuff and bullshit like that isn't the most elegant way to increase your post count. :-)

I'd suggest that you mind what you are writing on your posts, when addressing my posts.
I didn't refer to you in person, so DON'T do this.

Hey Cyclops,
Is there a way that you know of to be able to alphabetize phrases/songs? Or do you know of a work around besides asigning songs to favorites? I am really having a difficult time playing live when I want to load a song from my song list. Even if I had to rearange the songs on my PC by hand, and then save them back to my thumb drive, I would do it. But man I am afraid of messing with those files!!! I know it's only 50 songs, but when you are on stage, and in a hurry, looking at that song list and trying to find a song that's not in an alphabetical order is sometimes very tough.

i am not whining, but I believe Roland can learn from their clients, and this fix would be very welcome!

Thanks for any help,
firstlovedan

Hey Firstlovedan. I'm afraid this is not possible, although I would hope it was. You can name songs and phrases, but you can't have them sorted by name. Once they are in a specific song or phrase number, you only can name them, not sort or rearrange them.

This is something that could be addressed by Roland. This could be fixed for phrases, samples and songs.

Thank you sir! Maybe Roland will do some changes next OS. In the mean time, many blessings!

Yeah, let's hope a next OS version will fix this.
God bless you too, man. Greetings! :-)

Don't bet too much.

I can't get this really.
Sure you do. You're a bright boy.

If you don't like my posts, don't comment them.
Well, maybe I should take the previous comment back? So, I have to READ all your posts, but am just not allowed to comment them? How do I know if you are saying something relevant or just whining again, if I don't read your post? But I'm not allowed to point out how selfish it is of you, to force us to do this? You can waste as much bandwidth as you want being rude and venting again and again, same comments, no matter what the topic of the post is? But you don't like it, when you receive only a few comments mentioning how rude it is to do this?

Get it now?

Are you trying to make a point or something? Because I can't get it really.
Oh, you get it, you just don't "want" to get it. God forbid someone threatens your "fun" of trashing everyone and everything that "YOU" want to trash, by calling you on it.
I think that insulting people saying about them having contageous stuff and bullshit like that isn't the most elegant way to increase your post count. :-)
If you missed the humor of the comment, I'll be happy to explain it to you. Clearly I am making a joke - The "contageous" part , being to say the same useless thing, repeatedly, in post after post, only rather than trashing the Fantom G and Artemiy continuously, as you do, I repeated something even more ridiculous. It was designed, in a humorous way, to show you how ridiculous and boring it is, to have to read the same thing in post after post after post after post after post after post after post after post after post after post after post after post... see? Tedious isn't it? You may not mind wasting your own time and life, repeating the same thing over and over without end, but that doesn't mean everyone else enjoys your wasting OUR time, doing it.

I'd suggest that you mind what you are writing on your posts, when addressing my posts.
I didn't refer to you in person, so DON'T do this.


Oh, sure you have.

And isn't it typical? That people who like dishing it out, just can't seem to take it, when it is fed back to them? This is historically true.

When you keep repeating "But it's just my immagination, isn't it?" over and over, it is an insult to Artemiy, but that's not a problem is it? Because YOU are the one doing the mocking. Does it feel good when it is coming in your direction instead? No? Maybe you should stop dishing it out yourself then? People are always going to return to you, what you put out to them? May I ask how old you are? Haven't you figured this out yet?

And THAT my friend, is EXACTLY my point.

You get what you give. Don't you think the forum would be a happier place without constantly insulting the keyboard and manufacturer which is the very "object" of the forum? Not to mention the forum's owner? I bet he doesn't like being insulted continuously, even humorously so, any more than YOU do. Yet amazingly, you don't seem to "get" that, do you? Without it being visited back on you. How many insults, I wonder, have you dished out? And yet only a few comments from me, and you are ready to make threats?

That's funny.

How do you miss the lesson in all this?

Amazing.

craigmaxim, cyclops
Could I please ask you not to make this a personal thread and stay on topic as much as possible? I would not like to see it turned into one more of "those" threads.
Please go to the Free Zone if you want to discuss it personally, (within the forum rules obviously) although I think this "whos's doing what" thing is getting really bored :-)

V-CeeOh,

Since you locked the other thread, let me address it here. And hopefully Cyclops will read this as well. I will certainly be trying to take the high road, again, after all this. And I don't want to get banned this fast. LOL

But Cyclops, I want to get along with you. I don't want to insult or be rude to you, or anyone else for that matter. And even though I degraded myself intentionally, hoping to drive the point home with you, it still makes me feel bad. Wasted communication, or the lack of it even, is tragic. So much can be accomplished, and in quicker time, when we are civil and consider the impact we have on others. And care enough to act accordingly.

Even when humor is involved, when the point is serious to the poster, we all know that the humor is a mask, and therefore, like a passive-aggressive insult. And no one likes being insulted. I hope you can realize that as well.

I made my point (and haven't gotten banned yet) so you won't see me wasting bandwidth to continue this subject. I know that you understand my point, so repeating it now, serves no useful purpose.

Let me just conclude my part, by saying... Even though I was trying to make an important point a little more seriously this time... Nevertheless, I still feel bad about it, and wish to apologize for offending you. The point is made by now, and you won't see me bring it up again.

Please accept my apology.


V-CeeOh:

Thanks for understanding the original purpose of my post and for your comments about it. I stayed out of that thread for awhile, hoping it would die, but it didn't.

THANK YOU FOR LOCKING IT!!!! LOL

I owe you lunch one day! :-)

It's all fine. Quoting cyclops, I think we have a "healthy community" here :-).

Let me just make a small point for you and others members here just because you have already mentioned it more then once:
I don't know why but lately some members often imply or refer to in some post as if Artemiy or the mods ban users easily. Somehow the fact that we lock or move threads to what we think is the right place, is taken as banning someone. I strongly disagree with it and personnnaly don't really like it. Artemiy is the only one who can ban members and as much as I remember it only happened 2 or maybe 3 times in extreme cases since the Fantomized forum began. We even have a case of a banned member who then registered under a different name and was accepted again.
I must admit that if it was up to me, this number would be greater. But it isn't. So it's plain stupid trying to scare or threat other members with this.

**We only ban members in extreme cases**- it's THAT simple!

Sorry for getting off topic but I thought it was worth the explanation.

Back on topic. :-)
