yes everything should be connected propperly. I can change the patches in my fantom G editor and then they change also on the fantom screen so I don't understand what is wrong whit it. Maybe its vista again? are you using XP or vista?

Vista is one of microsoft worst inventions. It gives problems with a lot of audio hardware. Vive le MAC!!!!!

So there's no solution for the problem? or has anyone else a fantom patch working vista?

Alternative way of transferring patches in .MID format into

Joss: There is really a workaround for importing the .MID sounds you want into your project(s).

Follow these steps:
1. Copy the .MID file and paste it into your Fantom-G's USB stick, into path: \SEQ\SMF
2. Disconnect the USB stick from the computer and attatch it to the Fantom-G.
3. Load this project into the Fantom-G from the USB stick.
4. Go to Song mode and load an empty song.
5. Press F2: SMF List and locate the .MID file that contains the patch.
6. Press F6: ---> Song and then hit
7. Enter Single Mode and then press the Play button to start the song. The Grand Piano sound (or any patch that you can find into fantomg.navarin.de) name will appear on the screen.
8. Press the Write button to save the patch into any user location you like.

I think I'making a little mistake. I push the SMF button. select the midi file, push the ==> song and OK button, back in song mode I see a very small midi part like something was recorded and the name of the song has changed in the patch name. Then, when I hit the single button and the play button, the song just starts playing but no patch name appears in my screen.

I think I'm doing something wrong isn't it? :)

Joss, I think I found out what is wrong. Please check this:

Go to your Fantom-G and press: Menu -> F2 System and then use the F1/F2 keys to select the tab named "MIDI". In that tab, make sure that the setting "Receive Exclusive" is set to "ON". If this was set to OFF, that was certainly the source of the problem. Then check again if you can transfer sounds, both with the way I told you previously, and with the use of the Fantom-G Editor. Please let me know if you solve this.

I'm sorry, it's turned ON. Within a few hours I will make a video from my screen so you can look what I'm doing if I try to import the SMF file with my USB stick.

It's really weird you know. I've never come to this so far, so I'm very interested in finding out what is wrong eventually.

Posting a video of what you are doing, as you said you will, is gonna really help.

I'm uploading a video on youtube. I'll post the link. But here is a picture of my MIDI system settings.

The only thing that's different in my system settings is the first parameter.
Device ID: 17 (instead of 18 in your attatched pic)

I think that won't make a difference cause thats just the talking port for your fantom. I will put it on 17 and try again but it won't make a difference I think. In a few minutes there will be a youtube video.
