Various connection examples
Connection example 3:
Music production using more than one Fantom-XR
By using three Fantom-XR units as shown in the diagram below, you can assemble a powerful
384-voice music production environment in just three rack spaces.
Connect the first Fantom-XR via USB. This Fantom-XR will function as a MIDI interface,
providing MIDI data to the second and third Fantom-XR.
To transfer data between Fantom-XR units, it’s convenient to use CompactFlash or SmartMedia
with a PC card adaptor. In particular, most notebook computers have a PC card slot, making
this method very convenient.

Parameter settings on the Fantom-XR:
Unit 1 USB Mode: MIDI
-> In this example, we use the USB connector in MIDI mode.
USB MIDI Thru: ON
-> With this setting, data received at the Fantom-XR’s MIDI IN is sent to your
computer without change.
Units 2 and 3 No particular settings are necessary.
The same MIDI data will be sent to all sound modules. Use the Part Receive Switch (p. 92)
settings on each sound module to make the module play only the data you intend.
Settings for the sequencer software on your computer:
Turn on the parameter named “MIDI Thru” or “Thru.”
-> MIDI messages received by your sequencer software will be sent without change to the
Fantom-XR via USB MIDI. This lets you listen to your sound modules while recording in your
sequencer software.
