Cakewalk Home Studio + Fantom XA Help

I have the same question. I can't seem to find the way in the manual.

As far as I know, there is no "exclusive" export functionality in Fantom, but you can record your MIDI data to the Cakewalk's sequencer:

Open some MIDI tracks in Cakewalk (the number of tracks should be equal to the number of tracks you have in Fantom's sequencer).

Assign the MIDI tracks in Cakewalk to the MIDI tracks in the Fantom (MIDI 1 --> 1, 2 --> 2, ...)

Arm all the MIDI tracks in Cakewalk for recording.

Hit the record button in Cakewalk and then hit the play button in Fantom. This way all the MIDI data of your song will be exported to your Cakewalk project.

Sorry if that was not clear enough, it's a long time that I haven't used cakewalk,

Another thing to try is to save your Fantom sequence/song as a type 1 midi file and use the USB storage option to drag it to a folder on your PC.

Then load the midi file into Cakewalk, check the midi channel assignments on the tracks, then play the file from Cakewalk.
You will want to have the Fantom set as slave and sync it to Cakewalk.

OK I got it...I bought a great Homestudio tutorial book, and this is what you do.

1) Like bassman said save seq as a SMF

2) Conect Fantom to PC via USB (Storage Mode)

3) Open the SEQ folder and locate your SMF

4) Drag to desktop ...or folder ( I used desktop cause I was lazy)

5) Open Home Studio

6) Click File...then open

7) Navigate to the folder you sent your midi file to...in my case it was on the desktop

8) Click open...and wala there is your seq on the PC

9) Change USB connection to midi

10) Load your seq

11) Press play on Homestudio, and your song plays with the original sounds

12) w00t!!!!

Dubz,

Are you using Sonar 2 book. If so what page is the procedure. By the way it worked for me too.

thanks

I'm at work right now, but I can tell you that it's not Sonar book 2. I have Home Studio 2, and the book I'm using is called "Understanding Home Studio"....I think....when I get home I will re-post the name.
