Hi bk,

I hope I understand your question correctly. Recording midi to Ableton is easy from the Fantom, but I am not sure that is what you are trying to accomplish.

I use my Fantom-X6 to record midi into Ableton quite often, but what I am doing is recording midi notes into Ableton, not musical sounds (audio). In other words, I am using the X6 as a simple midi keyboard attached to Live 8, which triggers the built-in instruments in Live 8 via midi notes. I do this using the midi cable "Out" jack on the rear of the X6, which goes to my Lexicon Omega audio interface, and then to my DAW computer. I have also recorded midi into Ableton before using the USB connection on the X6 as well. Either connection works well.

If you want to record music into Ableton Live, using the actual Fantom X sound, you must use the phono (digital) output, or either the balanced or unbalanced pairs of 1/4" jacks on the rear of the X6. Of course, this is NOT the same as recording midi. Midi is not actually "audio" from the Fantom. I hope this helps and that I haven't made things more confusing!

Thanks Jeff,
I have already been using the Fantom X sound via the 1/4 inch outputs using midi-timecode. I just thought that there was a way to simply use the Fantom X6 instruments and record them on Ableton Live, I saw a demo of a guy doing this but on the Fantom G so maybe it's not possible to do on the fantom X 6.
Basically instead of coming out from the 1/4 inch outputs into Auidio, I'd like to come out of 16 midi tracks all at once and use the Fantom X native instruments.

Cheers

Ableton Live 8 to record in realtime, all 16 midi tracks with Fantom X Native Instruments.
