I recently purchased a Roland Fantom X6. I use a Mac G5 and have installed Finale 2005. I can't seem to get Finale to send patch changes to the Fantom. When I do the Tutorial in the Finale tutotial book (chapter 6 - more midi topics) the result I get is not correct - the patch assignments are not recognized by the X6 - it plays all the parts with the one sound - whichever sound the X6 has selected on its screen - not affected by the data I have entered in Finale. However, I can enter notes in Finale using the X6 as a midi source so I know the computer and the X6 are sending and receiving the midi signal.
Is anyone at this site using Finale with a Mac? Can you offer any suggestions to get me started? Any help would be appreciated. blueroom |

One other thing that I failed to mention in the previous post. The midi locations are best accessed from the Mac if you do the following:
1. On your X6 go to the system menu/sounds 2. The top entry on that menu, "Local Control" can be toggled On/Off. 3. Set it to "off" when you want to use your keyboard as a controller for external programs or devices. 4. Push the soft button at the bottom under "system write." 5. Don't worry. It is very easy to change it back. When you turn off your Fantom, it will normally come up with this toggled to "on." |
