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 |

While finishing my setup for DP4 today, I discovered that in order to use the Fantom as a rack synth, I had to set it to Mixer mode. Otherwise I was limited to the two channels on which it normally sends and receives in patch mode. Normal settings are for channel 1 and channel 10 to send and receive in patch mode. In Mixer mode the Fantom can receive midi data on up to 16 channels. Am not sure why I did not have the same problem with Sibelius.
