HI
Subject: MIDI Playback Issue Between Fantom X8 and Scarlett Interface in Logic Pro
Thank you so much for your help.
Scarlett is selected for both Input and Output, and both connections are properly set up using two MIDI cables. The MIDI output of the Fantom is connected to the MIDI input of the Scarlett, and the MIDI output of the Scarlett is connected to the MIDI input of the Fantom. Both devices are set to the same MIDI channel.
When recording MIDI, I can successfully record in Logic using the Fantom’s internal piano sound, and the notes are correctly displayed in the Piano Roll Editor — I can also edit them without any issues.
However, when I play the track back, the Fantom’s internal piano sound is not heard. I would like to record and play back using the Fantom’s built-in piano sound.
When I switch the instrument to a Logic software instrument (e.g. Logic piano), the sound is heard without any problems. But when I switch back to the Scarlett output, I can see the MIDI signal moving, yet no sound comes from the Fantom.
Could this be because the Fantom X8 is too old to connect properly with Logic?
If so, could you please explain how I should connect it correctly?
Thanks
