Select the Live Set you want to use and press REC. That's all you need to do.

Thank you. I didn't get your message right away because the reply counter continually showed '0'. I was actually kind of wondering why I couldn't get a response when the silly review of the Fantom G got so many. But thank you. I guess because you are a moderator the counter doesn't increase?

Ok I did that and I can play back the recording. However, what I need to do is to use that LiveSet sound in a song that I want to create with other instruments/tracks. It would appear that I can only record the one instrument in Live Mode.

I'm sure I can recreate the Live Set in Studio Mode by using multiple tracks and assigning each of the instruments in the Live Set to individual tracks, setting all of the track volumes correctly, editing the effects and trying to mimic what was created in the Live Set, but isn't that an awful lot of work when you already have an object with all of this already accomplished?

Even if it takes up 8 tracks in Studio Mode, I would think it would be possible to map that in Studio Mode. Did Roland not account for this?

I'm interesting in your question too.

A thing I would to know if why sounds in single mode sounds different when you selected them in studio mode. The reverb and chorus effects that are applied by defect in single mode aren't applied in studio mode and I have to modified them manually. Any words about this?

Thanks in advace.

There is no way to copy a Live Set to a Studio Set. We've got to live with it at least for now. Then, you can use 8 parts to record on the sequencer with Live and 16 parts in Studio. These work exactly the same way with the sequencer apart the seamless swtiching To record a part in the sequencer in Live or Studio just select that part.

Chorus and Reverb Patch settings in Single mode are not copied to other modes. Yes you have to do it manually for now.

That clarifies the issue somewhat. It sounds like what you are saying is that the 8 tracks you get in Live Mode are for whatever you want to assign to it, but the fact that they only give you 8 makes me feel like it's designed primarily for creating 1 multi-layered sound, not for sequencing with other instruments necessarily. It's an interesting design for sure. It probably has something to do with the fact that it takes up so much more polyphony. Thanks for your help.

The existence of the Live mode is primarily to let you switch between sounds/layers without any glitch. Due to Fantom's design, this is limited to 8 part, each with its own PFX, since the sound engine is based on a 16 part structure. If you don't need to switch smealessly between Sets and want to use the sequencer, you'd rather use Studio mode because it gives you the 16 parts and the added 2 MFX. Other then that you can use Live mode exactly the same way you use Studio with the sequencer.
