Strike Pad 1 so its lit to enable the transmission of MIDI data on MIDI 6
Channel 1 to your DAW.
If your DAW isn’t set to Omni mode—as we noted on Page 17—you’ll
need to set your DAW to receive on the channel the Fantom-G’s
transmitting on, which is Channel 1 right now.
Press STUDIO again to return to the Studio Play screen. To use 7
Internal Fantom-G sounds with your DAW, make sure you’re looking
at the Internal parts’ Studio Play screen.
Select the first part whose track you want to sequence in your DAW,
8
and choose the sound you want it to use. By default, each of the 16
studio set parts receives MIDI data on its own MIDI channel.
Create a new track in your DAW, and set it to transmit to the
9
Fantom-G on the same-numbered MIDI channel as the part you
selected in Step 8.
After sequencing your first track in the DAW, you can Repeat Steps 8
10
and 9 as desired to build up your arrangement, track-by-track.
As you select sounds for your studio set, you’ll move from part to part.
Regardless of the part you currently have selected, though, you’ll still
be using the MIDI channel you selected in Step 6 above. Its up to the
DAW to send each MIDI track’s data back to the correct part on the
Fantom-G so that the correct sound plays.
As you play the Fantom-Gs sounds from the DAWs MIDI tracks, you
can send the Fantom-G’s output digitally into the DAW for recording as
audio tracks if you like. We’ll get into this in the next section.
Exchanging Audio with Your Computer
Streaming Fantom-G Audio Via USB Into a DAW
You can stream audio digitally from the Fantom-G via USB into
your computer-based DAW in order to capture and record it on
DAW audio tracks. You may want to stream:
live audio
coming into the Fantom-G inputs so the
Fantom-G acts as your DAW’s audio interface.
You can learn all about bringing live audio into the Fantom-G in the
Adding Live Audio to the Fantom-G Workshop booklet.
Fantom-G sounds being played by parts— in Studio mode when you’re
using it as a multitimbral sound module. You can stream audio tracks
from the Fantom-G for re-recording onto audio tracks in your DAW if
youd like to centralize a song’s raw materials within the DAW.
Since all of this audio is streamed digitally, it arrives in pristine form in the
DAW with no loss in quality from the way it sounds on the Fantom-G itself.
