Synching ProTools M-Powered 7.1 with Roland Fantom-S

Haven't got one, but AYPK, one device needs to the midi clock master and the other the slave.
aka one is set to internal and sends midi clock.
the other is set to external midi clock (external sync).

You can do it either way round usually, though there may be timing advantages of one, as opposed to other (the start signal or response to one often lags up to 40mS).

For ease, and as Protools may need some twazzy option to sync to external midi (ie the dv toolkit?), I'd use Protools as the master to start with.

Just make sure Protools is sending midi clock on the midi ports you have the Fantom on.
In the Fantom set it to external midi clock.
The regular midi lead going out from Protools in to the Fantom's midi in, wil be enough for this to work. It doesn't need to be a closed loop. (Infact you can get midi feedback if soft MIDI echo/thru is on, etc.)

Sorry I don't know where the external sync setting is on the Fantom. I don't have one. Probably on some mIDI or System config page.

I cant remember step by step on what you are supposed to check but I'll put you in the right direction....

The way I have my midi hooked up is through the usb, im not sure if the fantom s has usb(If it does make sure your usb is set for midi and not storage), but it should be the same logic somewhat... On the fantom, go to your menu and go to midi and make sure its set to slave-midi and the mmc is at slave. Then go to Protools and open a new session and go to (I cant remember which tab it is) but scroll down till you find midi> midi beat clock. There you should see the fantom if you have it hooked up and turned on. Click the box and you should be sync.... Now this is having the PT as the master and Fan S as the slave... If this dont work, when I get home I'll let you know how I did it step by step
