Fantom X-editor

18 Aug 2006, 03:08

I'm using the fantom x-editor to export the sysexdata of a performance into a midifile. When i play this midi on the X8 a performance is completly build up with the saved sysexdata. I save this data into the musicfile i using for playing with the group. The reason is we have more than 128 song to play and there only 128 programmable userbanks.

Now sometimes when using x-editor i get an error that the X8 isn't correctly connected. But it is connected like it should because i exported some performances before. When i retry it results always the same. Even when i save the perfoprmance to another preset and retry. Settings of the performances are not correctly transfered into the x-editor and by the way not correctly saved.

Any solutions to fix this?

had the same problem here today. I tried for hours but always the same error message: check your midi connection...blabla.. So what finally helped me was, before I opened the X-editor I switched the FX in Performance Mode. Very strange, but from that point on everything worked fine..

ths will try it. but normaly my FX is always in performance mode. When i use the x-editor i change the usb funstion into midi and start the program. I will try to exit first the menu and then start the program. I hope this will work.

solution:

it seems the Xeditor gets an error when reading a performance when a track uses a GM-patch. When i change this patch to a X8-patch everything works fine. Don't ask me why because i don't have an answer. The important thing is that the problem can be fixed!
