Setting Up the Fantom-G to Stream Audio Via USB
Once you’ve installed the Fantom-G’s driver on the computer, there’s not
much on the Fantom-G side of things to set up for audio—whether it’s live
sound or the Fantom-G’s sounds—to stream via USB from the Fantom-G to
your computer. The Fantom-G’s main mix is automatically sent out digitally
over the USB connection. Just make sure that anything you want to stream
is routed to the main mix.
This is the default routing, so it’ll just work unless you’ve changed it. If your
audio isn’t making it over to the computer, make sure the Fantom-G’s MIX IN
button is lit and then double-check your settings. If you’re dealing with:
live audio—
• make sure the Mix In Output Assign parameter on the Input
Setting screen is set to A or MFX 1 in Single and Live mode, or A, MFX 1,
or MFX 2 in Studio mode.
a patch, rhythm set, and sample set in Single or Live mode—
• make sure the
part’s Output Assgn in the Part View screen Output/EFX tab is set to A.
a patch, rhythm set, sample set, or audio track in Studio mode—
• make sure
the part’s Output Assign parameter is set to A, MFX 1, or MFX 2. If it’s set
to either MFX option, make sure the selected MFX processor’s Output
Assign parameter is also set to A. (You’ll find this parameter on the
Effects Routing screen that’s displayed when you press the LIST/EDIT
EFFECTS (ROUTING) button.
Setting Up Your DAW to Receive Audio Via USB
Configure the DAW’s Audio Input Hardware
Though each DAW has its own way of doing things, the setup steps are
basically the same from DAW to DAW. To learn about the specifics menus
and settings for your DAW, you’ll have to consult its documentation. But
these are the tasks you’ll have to perform:
Select the Fantom-G as your audio input hardware—
• With the Fantom-G
powered up and connected to your computer via USB, locate the
setting in your DAW that selects the audio interface it’s to use as its
input, and choose Fantom G 44.1kHz.
Depending on your DAW, you may be able to use different audio
interfaces for your input and output—if this is the case, you can listen
to your DAW through another audio interface if you have one and
prefer to listen this way. If you can’t do this with your DAW—or if you’d
rather listen through the Fantom-G—set both the input and output to
Fantom 6 44.1kHz. See “Receiving Audio From Your Computer In the
Fantom-G” on Page 21 for more details.
Select the recording sample rate and bit depth for the DAW—• Set the DAW
to record 16-bit audio with a 44.1 kHz sample rate from the Fantom-G.
Select a DAW Track’s Audio Input
Each audio track in a DAW can record from the available input(s) belonging
to the currently selected audio input interface. To record the main mix from
the Fantom-G, select Inputs 1 and 2.
If you’ve sequenced MIDI tracks in the DAW using multiple Fantom-G
sounds, and would like to record them as audio tracks in your DAW,
record them one at a time. Mute all parts in the Fantom-G other than
one you want to record. Once you’ve got it in the DAW, repeat the
process for your other Fantom-G parts, one-by-one.
The Fantom-G Driver Settings
The Fantom-G driver installer adds a Fantom-G control panel to Windows,
and a Preferences pane to Mac OS X. In these windows, you’ll find controls
you may need as you work with your DAW.
