I also recorded changing modes from Patch to Performance, and from Performance to Patch. Then I opened Sysex Librarian, pointed it to the correct MIDI ports, and used the Record One choice while changing a patch in the problem area and recorded the output.


I used Sysex Librarian from Snoize and turned on Transmit Patch Edit on the Fantom. I have done a lot of research online and found info that the only way to get the Fantom to work is via sysex. (The Fantom receives Performance changes on 16.) I have scoured the Fantom Owners Manual to make sure that everything that should be enabled at the system level is indeed enabled and set correctly. I have adjusted the Channel Strip MIDI In channel from 1, to 16, to 1-16. What I have tried: As mentioned above I have used the Channel Strip Inspector to manually assign the MSB, LSB, and patch numbers. I get a MIDI activity light on my interface, and also on the Fantom, but it doesn't switch patches. I have tried using the standard method by selecting the MSB and LSB along with patch number from the inspector. What doesn't work: When I try to access the patches in slots 129-256, or any Performances it fails. This works flawlessly using the standard MIDI Output screen in the channel strip inspector. What works: I can easily select patches on the Fantom from Mainstage, as long as they are located in the first 128 slots of the User Bank, which is MSB 87, LSB 000. Additionally, I have Performances in the User Bank. All my patches are in the User Bank, both from 1-128, and from 129-256. All works quite well, until I want to change banks. The Fantom is connected to my Macbook Pro through a MOTU Audio Express. I'm having problems with Mainstage properly sending sysex commands to the Fantom. I'm using Mainstage 3.3 on El Capitan with my Akai EWI, using breath controller patches with ES2, Kontakt, Korg Legacy M1, and now my Roland Fantom XR as an external instrument. I'm a fairly experienced Mac user, but not quite so experienced with MIDI.
