Multiple performances saved with song/patterns
16 Apr 2009, 15:37I ran out of Performances saved in User and Card. Now I have to find another way to save Performances to recall during live performances. I know that a song can recall a Performance saved during any temp adjustments and settings to that Performance, including changes to the name of the Performance, to the song that it saves to. So when you load a song, such as a fast load, it will bring up the name of the Performance you save to that song. An asterisk will appear at the beginning of the Performance name to indicate a temporary change to the current Performance in that place. Anyway, that's the basic that I know. Here's the real question.
A Preset/User/Card Performance can be set as a 'favorite' Performance in the Live Setting screen, and can be accessed by the 8 function button. Let's say I have a song that uses 2 or 3 Performances at once, I would line up the 3 Performances in the Live Setting screen, and then access the Function button to switch between Performances. It's all there at your disposal. All 8 on the first screen, Shift-F(1-8) for the next 8 'favorites'.
When you save a song, you have only 1 Performance to be loaded back to the User or Card Performance area. The question is: Can it load more than 1 Performance setting? Remember I mentioned that an asterisk will indicate that that Performance is temporary. If you jump to a different Performance, that temporary Performance loaded up by the song will be lost. So how would I jump between Performances when once I switch to a different Performance that current Performance loaded from the song will be lost?
So my point is, even though a song can save a different Performance for you when you run out of place to save your Performances, it still doesn't have the flexibility of multiple Performances that you need if more than 1 Performance is needed for the live show during that 1 song.
Anyone know if it's possible to have more than 1 Performance saved within a song? Somebody mentioned in this forum that you can save a different Performance using a Pattern within a song, which can be different than the song's Performance itself. That would work if I can line up the patterns on the pads and press the pad to change to a different Performance. But how do you initiate that change? Press the 'play' button to run the sysex messages or something? Or loop a one measure song so that it continuously play the "empty" song, so that when I trigger the pattern from the pads it will switch to a different Performance (it will write over the temporary Performance from the song) that it saved to that pattern by 1 command. If this is the case I would also create a 'main' pattern that would bring back the song's Performance, an idea similar to an arranger with 'main', 'intro', 'fills', etc. In this case the patterns can be unlimited settings of Performances for the song parts (main, chorus, solos, etc.)
Are the ideas above even possible or currently existing in the Fantom X? Let me know what your thoughts are.
Thanks.
