Cant find the right solution, cubase and the fantom s

Regarding playing the VST instruments without getting fantom sounds too:

Set the Fantom to LOCAL OFF (MENU > SYSTEM > SOUND > LOCAL SWITCH ... thats on the FX, may be slightly different on the FS)

Now when you setup your MIDI tracks in Cubase, the triggered notes from the Fanom come into Cubase and are then routed to the MIDI output port of the selected MIDI track. The current track's selected port is the Project MIX I/O midi port, the fantom will sound the triggered notes, if a VSTi is the current track's selected MIDI output, the VSTi will sound the triggered notes.

dang appreciate the quick reply man, what about the audio part and usin the midi clock as a tempo setter to record audio into the tracks? like lets say i want to record on track one a piano patch from the fantom as audio, and i want to make sure everything is in tempo, is there a way to by pass things and doit like that? u see what im talking about?

If you are recording audio whilst you play in time to tracks already recorded in Cubase, then the audio will automatically be in sync with the pre-existing Cubase material.

Say you lay down bass and drums as MIDI tracks in Cubase. You then create an empty audio track, if you then simply record a guitar part or piano part to the audio track along to the bass and drums, the audio will be in synch with the MIDI tracks without having to setup any sort of MIDI sync or wordclock.

If you want to record a track that was sequenced on the Fantom S into Cubase at the correct tempo, then you will have to set one or the other (Cubase or the Fantom) as MIDI sync master and the other as slave. If you do a search you should find previous posts detailing the procedures.

I have an X8 and Cubase 3.1. I want to be able to use the USB link to record in Cubase. However, I can't seem to get the sounds from the X8 in Cubase... what am I doing wrong or is this fundamentally impossible?

I can get the MIDI running throught the USB but it gives be the terrible sounding MIDI sounds that I could get off any keyboard!

Anyone who can help is a legend.
