Topic: Roland Fantom G8 with Pianoteq

Anybody out there try to use Pianoteq with a Roland Fantom G8?  I'm trying to hook it up with my laptop and a USB cable but it's just not happening.  Pianoteq keeps saying there are no devices recognized and the Fantom just gives me the option of using the USB computer port as a storage device.

Any thoughts would be appreciated greatly!

Re: Roland Fantom G8 with Pianoteq

Woah, that sounds like another Roland messup. Seems like you cannot use G8 for USB MIDI control, only for data transfer? Ridiculous.

If that's the case, you'll need to revert to good old MIDI cables...

Hard work and guts!

With the latest Roland models one can switch between native-midi and roland-midi over USB. In the latter case special roland-drivers have to be installed. Maybe this might give you a direction where to look for.

Not sure how to switch  between native and roland-midi.  I managed to get sound out when I hooked up a Fast Track Pro.  Only seems to work when I am in Live mode though - sounds quite tinny to me on first blush - that's the demo version of Pianoteq.
