Master key, split and Fantom G

8 Apr 2014, 15:09

Hi everybody

I'm triyng to play my Fantom linked to a master keyboard who transmit data only to one midi channel.

I want to split the master. So, I make a "live set", then I setted two patches into the same channel and modified Key Range for getting my split. I expected that my master keyboard was splitted...but it did not happen. Master plays both patches for all the range (from C0 to G9).

In a few word: Fantom G seems unable to send "Key Range" midi message.

Why? Did I mistake?

Alexdeglialex, if your master keyboard can transmit on only one channel, you have two choices:

Option A: Use the Fantom-G's Remote Keyboard function

1) Press MENU --> F2 System --> MIDI and set Remote Keyboard Switch to ON. Press F7 Sys Write to save.

2) Set your key ranges in the Live Set. Keep the Parts (and Patches) on different channels.

Option B: Set the key range in the Patches (not the Live Set)

1) Press PATCH twice to get to the Patch Pro Edit screen and then select the TMT page. Set the Keyboard Range Lower and Keyboard Range Upper on the TMT page. Save each Patch.

2) Choose the modified Patches for the Live Set. Keep the Parts (and Patches) on the same channel.

thanks for answering

option B) is better for me! Option A) make the master as a clone of Fantom keybed...so I can't browse patches from master yet!
