Hi,
As there is still not one satisfying brass sound for me within the Nord library (or does someone know an external and good sample sound? Tips are very welcome ), for gigs I am still using my old Roland Fantom X6. I am using performance sounds where I put a bundle of different brass sound together.

My idea: changing (Electro 5) setlists / programme lists (Electro 6) should control and change the Performance sounds of the Fantom.
My problem: Only a "programm switch" from the Electro will send a Midi message AND I can only change the Fantom Patch sounds via Midi, not the Performance sounds.

I already set the Midi setting (Fantom) to receive Bank AND program changes, but this doesn't help.

I think, the problem is still present with the newest generation of Fantom synths, as they are having also a sort of "Patch" and Performance" sounds, am I right?

I am very thankful for every single hint or thought from you.
Thanks!

I don't have a Fantom X6, but older Roland products allow you to select Performances on a single MIDI Channel, selectable in the Settings area. By default, the older products I have used had this set to Channel 16. So Program Change on channels 1-15 will select Programs on those channels and a Program Change on 16 will select a Performance. The Fantom X6 owner's manual might something about it. Try putting your Nord on Channel 16 and then send Program Changes.
