   Please feel free to send your ironing - can't help with the hoovering - then I should be able to get 'someone' to set the midi things up!

   Geoff - I wouldn't wish this ironing basket on anyone, hee hee! Don't worry about setting it up midi - there's plenty of us here to help, and it should work a treat!

   Nic: Thanks for the clip and all the effort that went into its successful despatch!

   I can see, and hear, how much you are totally engaged with this addition to your EL. Clear attack and aftertouch, handled with expertise if I may add. I think that the way you have slung the Roland is excellent - you can see the bits you need, the cables are going in the right direction and the music desk remains available.

   Are all of the sounds in the clip available in the Roland's basic offering or have you added an expansion card?

   I'm off now to use a USB to MIDI link with the laptop. Going to run Midiox (liking things that are free!) to see if it displays any 'code' when I press a sound tab, piston etc. I'll let you know what happens if I may as I am quite certain it will not be in Geoff speak.

   The Roland AT-90 is staying at home.

   I've found a wonderful programme for archiving AND displaying sheet music (with programmed repeats and page sequences) so all I need in Spain is my laptop - even after all these years - still a dots man.

   I'll go now as the laptop's screen seems to be misting up - someone's ironing, perhaps.

   Thanks again
   Geoff

   Hi Geoff,

   Glad you got it eventually! Not quite sure I agree with you on the "handled with expertise" bit though, ha ha! I'm needing to get to grips with the touch of it a bit more - it's one of the nicest instruments I've played (for sheer potential), but it's also one of the most challenging I've ever played initial/after touch-wise. Most of the sounds were the onboard sounds. The accoustic guitar, harmonica, choir, strings were all Fantom internal sounds. The electric guitar was actually from the GM section! The rolling cymbal, church bell and heavy choir on the base pedals were from the SRX06 Orchestral, and I think if I remember rightly, there is also an electric guitar called "Rock Gods" on base pedals as well coming from the SRX12 World board.

   Yes, let us know how you get on with the midiox. Tony is the expert on advising how to program the additional midi events programmer box though, but I'm sure if you have to get one, he'll be able to give you advice. In fact, you would hear the pitch bend on my tiny clip? That was me able to bend it from the second pedal of the EL90 - thanks to having got Tony's MEP10 which he kindly set up for pitch bend for me (he went on to get the bigger MEP32 as he wanted to get it to boil the kettle, ha ha!)

   I saw a Fantom XR on ebay recently for £425 Buy It Now. Sadly it only had 23 minutes to run when I noticed it, otherwise I was going to post it on the forum immediately for any would be Fantom owners..... Maybe I'm getting a little bit obsessed - hence the term "Fantomaniac"

   Oh, one last thing - If you get the Fantom, I'll be happy to send a copy of user performance registrations to you if you want. I did this for Tony and Russ, and even if you don't like the sounds I've set up, it's still usefull to use as a template for substituting your own preferences into. (It saves a bit of time as it's not the quickest thing to set up)

   Regards

   Nic
