HELP!!! Going Crazy Here...
29 Jan 2010, 15:18Hi All, I haven't posted in a while, but that's only because I have been away from my studio for a while. But I have two a problems here that are driving me absolutely nuts and I am hoping someone can help me.
PROBLEM #1.
I have a FG8 and I am using it with a ProTools rig. I have the Fantom set up to send & receive midi and audio via USB cable. I have recently updated to Fantom OS 1.30. I have used this successfully in the past but now for some reason I either am having a brain freeze or something is very wrong with OS 1.30.
I simply want to use the FG as a controller and a multi-timbral sound source in Studio mode to sequence midi into ProTools and eventually record that midi to audio. I believe I have things set up correctly. I have created a studio set in the FG8 with the sounds I want to use*. Only thing is I CANNOT for the life of me get this setup to correctly play the various FG parts when I set the correcponding thru channels in a ProTools instrument track.
On the FG, I have LOCAL OFF (disconnecting the keys from the sound source so the computer can control the thru), USB Midi Thru OFF (tried it on too) and it is just not happening. I have toyed with a pile of settings on both the Fantom and in ProTools and I just cannot get this working and this is going on Day 3 now.
PROBLEM #2:
I began to creatre a simple studio set with the sound I want and AS SOON as I go to save that set it spits out the patch assignment I had in part 1.
WTF!???
It is a factory string patch I want in part 1. I tried creating a NEW studio set and I simply altered an existing studio set and each time when I assign that string patch (or any patch) to part 1 and the SAVE Studio set, it deletes the patch I had in part one. completely empties it.
Is this a known bug, I would assume not since this is a most basic feature, the ability to simply save a studio set with patch assignementsin parts 1, 2, 3 etc.
Been in the biz professionally for 25 years, so I am not a newbie by any means, but this crap sure makes me feel like one!
I would GREATLY appreciate any advice or direction you folks can provide. I think I've tried everything.
In addition to resonding to the list, also feel free to also respond privately as I need a solution as soon as possible
THANKS!
