footswitches

17 Oct 2009, 09:55

I was just looking for some advice if anyone can help me out. I am probably being very lazy still not really having explored in detail my new Fantom G8 manual, but on the whole the board is so easy to use that I have not found any need until now. Is is possible to use the pads in different modes at the same time for live performance. Also how is a foot switch configured to switch from one pad to the other, to advance samples or drums. Can the foot switch also be set to switch pad mode. Sorry for all the questions, just one more. I have set some samples up for a live show to trigger from the top octave on the keyboard. I want to advance through these with a foot switch, is that possible.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Do you mean you want to have different pads doing actions from different pad modes? This is only possible via system messages that you can embed into sequencer phrases played from the pads.

Also how is a foot switch configured to switch from one pad to the other, to advance samples or drums.

You can set the pedal to do "program up" or "program down", however, if you're in live or studio mode, this will change the live or studio set, not a part... But maybe others know a correct solution, as I never used a switch like this.

Can the foot switch also be set to switch pad mode.

No.
