ADD ON REQUESTS FOR THE NEXT VERSION 1.6 OR 2.0

Arty, what's a "seve" ? Just because Grammar Wombat passed away doesn't give you any excuses.

"On my previous workstation, I was able to program that sample to play back with gradually lowering velocities so that it appeared to fade out as the song started. That isn't possible on the Fantom-G."

Yes it is, with the "AMP" function in sample edit. Four points can be set per sample, just like an envelope. You can use this to mute a certain part of the sample, to fade it in or out, or to maximize or diminuate the entire sample.

Not again!! How many more deaths does the little guy have to endure?

I play various bands. I use different projects for each bands.That's great.

But I use each favourites segment for each songs. And for every concerts I have to re-set all the favourites beacuse of the different setlists.

So< i'd like to save each of 16 favourites segment independently. That would be great cause I could save hours.

furkan, I also use the fantom G that way on stage. It will be (wordless) If they bring to us the ability to save the favorites like you can load TXTs files to It, you also be able to save the entire thing.

So, If I had to play a music that I don´t play anymore I can load the favorite with live sets, patchs and the txt about this song from a list. It´s not only awesome but a MUST have to me.

Daniel,

Thats also what i do. But still so hard. I hope Roland hear us and give us this ability.

G-Man: "Yes it is, with the "AMP" function in sample edit. Four points can be set per sample, just like an envelope. You can use this to mute a certain part of the sample, to fade it in or out, or to maximize or diminuate the entire sample."

That's good news if so, G-Man. I shall investigate that further. Thanks for the tip.

Do you agree with my other suggestions for improvement, though?

comradec: The first suggestion...maybe... but it's not something really critical. It would be useful though to be able to organize more easily the projects, the phrases in particulary. Deleting more than one at a time, or rearranging them in the list as we need.
The rest of your requests are already here so to speak. For quick general transpose of your song, hold down SHIFT and press S1/S2 switches. Set them to MASTER KEY UP and MASTER KEY DOWN. In this way, everything you hear except the drum tracks will be transposed in semitone steps.
As for the part with the audio stoping when you want you should know that a sample is played back as you set it in the sample edit screen. Set the END POINT earlier if you want the sample to stop earlier. If you need this only for the last measure of your song you can either create a copy of that sample and set the end point earlier only for this copy or simply go to song utility - track edit delete and delete all measures from measure X. It doesn't matter if an audio track contains a sample that extends beyond measure X - the song will stop right there.

@G-Man

I don't agree that those features are already there. I'm aware of the general transpose function but that's not specific to a song. One should be able to transpose an individual song and save the changed version without having to mess around with global settings.

I'm aware that the end point can be edited. That's what I have to do now: duplicate the sample and edit the copy to the end point that I want. Trouble is, that means all the different copies of the same sample have to be loaded in RAM when a project is loaded, thereby delaying start-up time. A method of specifying playback duration on the individual insert entry in song edit would be more helpful, in my opinion. It would be a lot quicker.

The song utility is fine for what it does, but it doesn't cover the scenario I'm interested in because it only works in whole measures. The sort of editing I mean goes to mere fractions of a measure.

But the sample issue isn't a killer, more a matter of convenience, because there is a workaround, as you've outlined.

The file management issue is extremely important to me and quite a few other people too. I can certainly say that it's put people off buying the Fantom-G, if they were aware of it in time to change their purchasing plans. On some occasions, it's been me that's pointed it out to them and for that I make no apologies. I can only recommend a product if it's up to scratch and the Fantom-G's file management system falls far short of that in a way that is a major inconvenience to many potential users. Without forewarning, they wouldn't discover the issue for a few months into owning it, but then they would likely regret their purchase. Enabling easier movement of the data would make a difference, though, even if the utility didn't achieve all of the things I would like.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't we seen this thread before?

@FatBrass

People have posted about features they would like adding to the Fantom-G, yes.

What is your point, though? Are you going to restrict yourself only to initiating topics that have never been discussed previously? If so, there wouldn't be much point in contributing to the forum as most things have been said at least once already.

Actually, alot of things have been said in this forum over the years! Why, back on August 10th, 2008, I said those very-same words you claim had never been said before!! See this thread.

There you go. You just answered your own question!
