External fx processor (Pio efx 1000 + fantom g)

I don't know what are the MIDI caspabilities of the EFX-1000, but from audio connections point of view, you can surely embed this machine into your Fantom-G. Run the second analog output pair of the Fantom-G (outputs 3 and 4) to the inputs of thr EFX-1000. Then route the stereo analog outputs of the EFX-1000 into the analog inputs of the Fantom-G. Then, go to your Fantom-G, hold the SHIFT key and press the MIX IN button. From the screen that will pop up, choose the Line L/R as the input. Then exit this screen and press the MIX IN button once again, so that it will light up.
The next thing is to select which Fantom-G parts in Studio mode will go into the EFX-1000. Just select either output 3 or 4 (in mono), or B (stereo) for these parts. The processed parts will come into the Fantom-G and will be monitored only if the MIX IN button is lit. Otherwise you can't listen to these sounds.

So it will record what i play with the added fx ? for example i can record piano + external hi pass in ch 1, drums + lo pass in ch2 and sax + flanger or what ever in ch. 16, right? Thats is what i need it for! I was just looking at efx 1000, cuz it has some nice roll and beat fx to add in groove, but Korg has some nice effect units too!

No, the channels you refer to are MIDI channels. The EFX-1000 processes AUDIO.
So all you can process at a time are two mono channels of audio or one stereo channel of audio.

And of course, since the audio comes back into the Fantom-G, it can be sampled and/or recorded into the audio tracks of the sequencer.

ok.... so it will allow to record 24 audio patches?
But what about midi connection? Pioneer efx 1000 has midi in and out! Can it be used to rec patch in midi ch. this way?

hi i've been thinking about doing this long time but never been materialised...
i have a DJM-800 instead & there's some bit-crushing effect i liked on the mixer, which would be fun for the groovebox style performance, combine using the pads on my FG...or record the effect as a sampled audio later in my production...only i have no clue on how to connect them together.
i'll try the method described above when i come home & see what's the result :)

thanks for the tips

The efx is an audio processor. You take audio from the Fantom G and process it with the efx, one stereo track at one time. The MIDI of the efx is used to control patches and effect parameters of the efx. Read the manual of the efx and everything will become hopefully clear,
