Can the FG easily sequence my other modules in addition to itself or is it better to use an external sequencer?

Yes,the Fantom can run 16 external midi channels/Devices via the Midi out as well as its own internal 16 timbres and Expansion tracks and 24 Audio tracks.

With such a great seqeuncer on board,not sure why you would want to use an external device for such a task,unless you have something better like an Akai MPC or Roland MV8800,or you prefer to use Software instead,the Fantom G sequencer is probably the best on any Workstation for what its allows you to do and compose with even if it needs slight improvements.

Thanks, as I thought. I really like the simplicity of sequencing on the G6 but I'm not totally impressed with the sounds. I just got a Triton rack and I already have a JV2080 so I really want to utilize their sounds but using the G6 as a controller/sequencer.

Roland sounds shine in a mix. A Roland patch typically doesn't sound as good as, say, a Korg patch which is usually drenched in effects to sound impressive. However, Roland patches blend together much better in a mix than Korg patches. That's why the JV-1080 is the most recorded synth in history.

As for the sequencer, the Fantom sequencer blows other hardware/workstation sequencers out of water.

If you are using multiple synths and want to use 2 patches on one synth at the same time can it be done. How with midi channels? or some other way.
