Add Live Set from one project to another

Add Live Set from one project to another

Hi

I've got a project with some Live Sets (which contain patches from User Multisamples) and want them to add to another project (which also contains live sets and samples).

What's the easiest way to do this? Copying with the Librarian, then add the Samples manually to the project and "match" them again?

As far as I tested it, it does not work. You can not add patches with multi sample definition from one projet to another. The librarian ignores all the multi sample stuff from the second fangsnd.svd :(
You can add the patches and samples though but have to recreate all multi samples in the combined project.
And there is a restriction of 128 such mspl definitions.
I would like to write a new librarian for Mac OS X but lack the file definition. And to analyze by hand with a hex editor is tedios work no one will pay me for. I don't have the time for that. Have to ask Roand to give me that specification. But I think they will as did Korg did.
Maybe the bulk dump SysEx will help? Have to test that.

There is a way to do this but you have to purchase the YASE sample editor from nexoe.
It saves all fantom patches in it's own library format including used multisamples.
But it's not a real librarian.

You can use the librarian to move the live sets and patches. You will need to edit your live sets to point to patches again and resave as they won't be in the same memory locations (unless you can put them there). There is no way to copy the mulitsample file from one project to another (a huge mistake by Roland), but you can remake it by hand, take photos of the FG muliptisample screen to get the settings to copy (tedious but workable). As for moving the samples so they are copied with their edits and loops points etc intact I found this works: using the Fantom G file utility, copy the samples you need into the IMPORT folder on your USB stick, then in your new project import those samples. Then they will appear as they were, but in new memory slots. Then recreate your Multisample file and make your patch point to it. Best method I can come up with, no point worrying about Roland not having made adequete software to do this now... They never will. Shame. Hope this helps.
