Use Fantom G with Mpc 2000xl as sequencer?

im having the same problem.

try this link http://forums.rolandclan.info/?action=show_thread&threa...

yes but im can only record the phantom soudns when i play the pads on the mpc, if i use the mpc as the sequencer and play the keys on the fantom then i hear nothing when i play it back , only if i record with the mpc pads.. so some how there is no midi signal being recorded from the fantom g to the mpc.. any ideas anyone? thanks

How many midi cables are connected between your MPC and your Fantom G?

Midi out of Fantom to Midi in Mpc and Midi out of Mpc to Midi in of Fantom

one thinig i did notice is that if i change the Fantom to External it will let me send midi to the mpc but do i have to always change to External if i want to send midi to the mpc ?

Yes, external is the way to send MIDI to external sources from the FG. External = use MIDI out port (or usb).

Its the same on your MPC, right.. Either you send MIDI to int internal sampler (drum) or then to MIDI outputs 1 or 2. Within those you have 16 MIDI chnnels each.

I don't post here often nowadays, I just saw a MPC related question and decided to answer... so if you want to discuss this further you can best reach me at the Fantom G user group on facebook..

- Jesse -

Or you could just post here Jesse...Art doesn't seem to have a problem with you participating. And you're a cool enough guy and very helpful. Just don’t go all crazy on us.

You don’t mind if I post links to Roland Clan on all of my post at Fantom G user group do you?

Zephyer, I run several (over 20) groups on facebook, including synth, sampler, software and guitar related ones, as well as my own band pages + manage a few client fan-pages there.

Beyond the ones I have created myself, I also participate in others related to my hobbies and things I support..

That's why I rarely visit other forums anymore. It has nothing to do with Artemiy, only with the fact that I want to concentrate the time and energy to one place and I think facebook is the right place for that as it already has millions of registered users, including over 500 of my in-real-life friends, plus thousands of interesting groups where I can chat with people.

I read the Clan now and then thou, but I don't post much, as you might have noticed..

Hyper-linking is one of the key elements of the internet, so linking to where ever needed is more than welcome from my viewpoint. So yes, you can link to whatever appropriate page from the facebook pages I run, I see nothing evil in links. Who does?

Thanks for the response Jesse.

So from what I gather you seem to have let go and moved on, that’s good and I respect that… But…you can understand my concern?

You in fact (I can easily quote you from many pages) have a history of conflict with Artemiy. You have made many statements in times of conflict concerning your desire to never post here again for reasons you feel are justifiable. You have cursed at and/or mocked Artemiy and Roland Clan on your own forum. You have constantly (despite begin asked nicely to stop) ignored the rules and the Roland Clan staff and chose instead to do as you pleased. You have on many occasions posted links to your forum suggesting that Roland Clan suffered from the ridiculous delusion conceived of only by your own mind and the minds of a few others.

And because of your actions and those of a few other long time members. Roland has (justifiably) taken steps to protect themselves. And in doing so lowered the number of potential members for Roland Clan. Which is why they advertise (because they sincerely appreciate Art’s efforts) Sinevibes and Artemiy‘s programming skill on their web site. Which means that not even Roland is willing to deal with the amount of chaos you and a few others have caused on this forum. And I’m not willing to rule out the very strong (more likely than not) possibility that your actions and those of others have severely hindered (I did not say stopped) further development of the flagship workstations from Roland, Korg and Yamaha.

And I am sure you know as well as I do that advertising is not allowed on many forums. And posting links on forum A to forum B which is the same type of forum as forum A, also containing information of the same type is just plain rude unless the two forums have a friendly partnership. And I am sure that the intent behind such actions can only be to pull members to forum B. And I could go on for many, many pages about you and Artemiy’s/Roland Clans past.

And Jesse…I have nothing against you at all. As I said, you are a cool and helpful guy. But I strongly believe in one’s right to defend what is theirs. I also do the same for my family, friends and anyone I happen to like or appreciate.

And while I understand and encourage the notion of you moving on and I can even be happy to see your growth. Please do not post like you are clueless concerning your past with Artemiy and this forum, it’s insulting. And I understand very well the nature of debating and how the whole game works. So let’s not play the game. It would be better (for many reasons) to be honest. So…the past is the past and we can all move to better things.

And Roland, maybe over time you guys will consider making Roland Clan your one and only forum again.

I wont bother the forum with this kind of thing to often…Thanks guys!

I dont know about all this going on but about my question... I heard someone say they didnt have to be in External mode to use the MPC 2000xl as the main sequencer just studio mode.. But why do i have to click external this just sucks im going to sell the fantom g because of this i think and get a XS6!

Zephyer, let's not bring this up once more... please, let's not.

Ok Art…You won’t hear it again…I’ll just go raise a big fuss on Jesse's forum (like you would not believe) if I have to. Just give me a reason Jesse, I would love it! But yeah, I was going to drop it after this post any how, I can see how it can cause problems.

Sorry about that BLAZINBEATS….The Audacity Works instructions really should have you up and running. Record something from the Fantom (a few notes, even if you don’t hear them) onto the MPC’s sequencer. And then go into the MPC’s micro or whatever they call it on the MPC and confirm that the notes are there. Also, make sure the device ID numbers match on your Fantom-G and MPC (if it has device ID numbers/probably does).

A few other possibilities…Did you turn off something on the G or MPC when you were trying to get everything to work? Maybe a receive or transmit switch? Or do you have mismatch receive and transmit channels? If you are not sure then performing a system reset on both pieces of gear maybe a good idea. Just make sure you save any user data you have created. Sorry I can’t give you a lot of detail about where to find the settings, I don’t have a MPC. But I understand a lot about MIDI, hopefully I can be of some help.

Welcome to Roland Clan BLAZINBEATS!

Well i have come to the conclusion that for some reason my fantom g will not send out a midi out signal when in studio mode... I have tried every thing the only way it sends out a midi out is in external mode or iin live mode for some reason boo.
