Do you have your System settings to automatically load any waveforms found on your card? If so, that's where your sample memory is going. When your Fantom powers up, it's filling up your RAM by loading all the waveforms...

Not directly. You need a USB hub inbetween (the controller and Fantom) in order to manage the flow of USB data. You can buy a self-contained USB hub. Note that computers have built-in USB hubs, so alternately, you can co...

Yes, the USB interface is faster than MIDI. But you can't directly attach the USB ports of the Roland and Yamaha. USB requires a "host controller", such as the USB hubs built into a computer. Neither the Roland nor Yamah...

Yep, that's the way it works. The software asks the Fantom to send all the settings of the currently selected Patch (or Performance) upon startup. And every time you change the Patch or Performance, the software has to a...

The 32 performances limit is on the RD300SX. There is no memory card expansion on this instrument. Remember that the footwitches are incrementing between setups _on the RD300_. The fact that the RD300 spits out Bank Sele...

Ironically, I use my RD300SX to control my Fantom XR. Yes, the control pedal on the RD300SX can be used to increment through its "Setups" (ie, Performances). But note that there are only 32 performances. Is that enough f...

Don't use any liquid before the compressed air. You want to try to blow out as much dust as possible, and the liquid will just make it stick more. If you can't get rid of the static after some time of moving the slider w...

No, it's not normal. Sounds like an accumulation of dust/dirt in the slider/pot. Get a can of "compressed air" and try blowing out the debris as you're moving the pot/slider.

You've got 3 effects units per Performance. This means that you can make the effects of 3 patches sound the same in a performance. Let's say Patch 1 uses a flanger, patch 2 uses a distortion, and patch 3 uses a leslie. A...

I don't think he means switching the patch assigned to a part. I think he means switching performances. In that case, send your program change message on your Fantom's "Control Channel" (defaults to MIDI channel 16, but...
