Complete Fantom XR Factory Patch Environment Layer

[appillar]

Hi Guys,

[Thanks fader8 for the file posting info!]

Well I dove in head first and created a Fantom XR layer with accessibility to all possible factory patch and performance banks I could find on the net for this synth. You can download the template below (see the file Fantom_XR_Patches_Environment.logic.zip), then just import the layer into your Environment, and use the banks that apply to your Fantom XR, and/or replace factory user patches or performances with ones you've already created yourself. Any questions, let me know.

So far, it's working great for me. Hopefully this makes life easier for other Logic Pro/Fantom XR users too. And if someone knows a more efficient way to organize all these banks, feel free to post ideas or updates to this thread. I'm not an expert, so it's very possible someone out there knows a cleaner way of doing this.

[I've also attached a FANTOM instrument icon I created (see the file 326.png.zip below). Just download it to your computer then right-click on your Logic Pro application icon, choose "show package contents" from the menu that appears, then drop the icon into the... /contents/resources/images/icons folder. Then launch Logic and choose the icon in the instrument icon list. You should see it at the bottom right of the icon list.]

Fantom XR Factory Patch Environment Layer details:

Below you'Il see I created seven Multi-Instruments with different banks. These include all internal factory patches, performances, and rhythm sets, and all the SRX Expansion Board patch and rhythm set lists I could find on the net. You can preview any of the seven Multi-Instruments (*subject to customizations you've made in your own personal Fantom XR) with the Keyboard Object (see it in the layer, make sure it's on MIDI channel 1) by clicking on the Multi-Instrument you want to hear. For parts 2-16 of performances in the Fantom XR Performances Multi-Instrument, choose that Multi-Instrument then choose the Keyboard Object and toggle it's MIDI channel in it's Object Parameter Box to the left.

*obviously if you don't own a certain expansion board the sounds won't be there... acccess the sounds for the boards you own by referring to their locations in the list below.

FYI, to play any Multi-Instrument, I found I don't have to toggle the Cable Switcher ever. I actually don't know why this is the case (does anyone else know, please tell me), but it can (and should, I found out, to be able to play the Fantom XR Performances Multi-Instrument) be left on "3," no matter which Multi-Instrument you want to play. Bottom line, don't touch it.

NOTE: Don't forget to switch the MIDI channel on the Keyboard Object back to channel 1 if you're done previewing channels 2-16 of the Fantom XR Performances Multi-Instrument and want go to one of the other Multi-Instruments.

So here's how the patches are distributed among the Multi-Instruments (man I wish we could do custom bank labeling!!!). Anyway, if anyone finds any mistakes, let me know! I'm happy to fix and repost.

This is fantastic, thank you! I successfully imported this Environment layer and can now see and change Fantom patches, kits and performances flawlessly. My big question: I use the Fantom Performances almost exclusively in my sequencing, and I need to be able to STAY in Performance Mode while changing individual parts/patches. Any suggestions??

I would love to utilize your system, but at the moment I have to view and audition the patches in another track of my sequencer, then change the part in my Performance track by hand. This is obviously a bit cumbersome. Help!
