no channel separation on midi in??!!!

Use Performance mode. Try reading the Newbie FAQ in the FAQ section at http://www.fantomized.info/

nathan, thanx for your quick reply. Maybe I still miss something in the faq or in the manual..I did
-switch to performance mode
-set the keyboardswitches off and checked midi receive option of the part I wish to control from my external keyboard
-set remote keyboard switch on (system)
Of course the Fantom plays something- but it just substitutes it's own keyboard regardless of the midichannel that I'm sending 'note on/ off' messages to.
E.g. I wish to play a string sound with the highest octave of my remote keyboard- I set the range and the midi channel, let's say #2 of the part in the perf mode. I set the keyboard switch in fantom to off for this part since I want to play a different sound on the highest octave of the fantom keyboard. I set the midi ch of my ext keyb to #2. But all I hear is the same of what I play on the fantom's keys. That's why I think that Fantom ignores the midi channel of the remote keyboard.

Sorry for this long post- just wish somebody to tell me I'm wrong
thx for suggestions

Have the same problem on the XA - any workaround?

I don't know if this works the same way in the XA but in the other Xs if you turn the Remote Keyboard Switch to ON the external keyboard actually works EXACTLY as the X keyboard. So I suppose that to achive what you want you have to turn it OFF.


...just could not afford the 8!
