The Fantom has 3 external devices usb ports but i didn't find what they are used for in the manual? Can we connect Aira stuff to it, like the MX-1? What can we use those ports for?

Thanks in advance

Thank you!

Can those ext. usb ports be used to control external synths as well, acting as a midi out?

Let's connect Fantom to as many as three external keyboards:

Keyboard 1 MIDI OUT to
Keyboard 2 MIDI IN.
Keyboard 2 MIDI OUT to
FANTOM MIDI IN.
FANTOM USB B to
Laptop USB 1.
Laptop USB 2 to
Keyboard 3.


Another way:
Keyboard 1 to Fantom USB A 1.
Keyboard 2 to Fantom USB A 2.
Keyboard 3 to Fantom USB A 3.
Fantom USB B to Laptop USB.

Let's go adding another two keyboards: Keyboard 4 MIDI OUT to Fantom MIDI IN; Fantom MIDI OUT to Keyboard 5 MIDI IN.

And we are still to use the two CV gates available for analog synthesizers or Eurorack modules that are equipped with CV/gate input jacks..

There are also some great products allowing wireless MIDI.

I use a couple of CME WIDI Master that work perfectly well, use power from the Fantom own MIDI ports and have no perceptible lag. A flawless and astounding device indeed.

When I play my Fantom 8 and hear my Yamaha CVP-96 (having his own onboard loudspeaker system) sing along from five meters away I still remember those no needed any more ugly MIDI cables crossing the room !!!!


But if the remote keyboard lacks internal audio then the audio is still to use cables, although it seems a low lagged high quality lossless stereo transmitter (currently most are mono and for guitars and this one from CME pretends lossless 24-bit/48kHz stereo) is on the works...and knowing how CME achieve their promises, it will be a dreamed product come true.

Please, support CME , I am #95, already just #555 supporters and #1000 are needed to grant the development.
