Hi Omar,
I think you can chain songs together, but again, it's gonna be a bitch if you
have no way of interacting with the instrument. I'll tell ya what, for the
amount of time I spent trying to deal with it, I can't remember how to get into
it to do basic editing. . Pathetic, huh? I'm very thankful that I discovered
the world of Sonar and CakeTalking - or I would've been out of the music
business by now due to frustration for not having decent accessibility to basic
functionality, much less editing and so forth.
One thing that I didn't mention is that the Fantom provides a means of creating
shortcuts to get you into the menus. I believe that you use the Shift button
and a pad combination to activate the shortcut. You can assign menus to pads,
but it doesn't take you to sub-menus within the menu. At first I thought that
you could go to whatever position within the hierarchical structure and record
that to a pad; it's kind of like adding favorites to your Web browser.
Unfortunately that's not exactly what happens; it might have been the intent of
the software developer to have it actually do it. I figured that out the hard
way; I ended up messing up some edits that I spent several hours on. Believe
me, I was not a happy camper - especially when I had work that needed to get
done to meet a deadline.
Mike

Thanks Mike. To be honest, i really dont get into sampling or editing with
the keyboard myself, but i was more curious as to how loading songs or midi
files works. i know you can only load one at a time, but i know in the motif
you can load several and then save it as an all song file. so the next time you
go to load those files all you have to do is load the all songs file. i wanted
to know if that can be done on the fantom.
