Hi Ralph,
it seems that the problem boils down to figure out if FA-07 can forward MIDI messages from USB to its MIDI out port. You likely need to figure this out on user forums or in owners manual.
If not, you could use separate USB-MIDI interface to connect FA-07 to computer and separately connect Fantom XR to computer and let REAPER do the routing.
I am using similar setup to run Yamaha MOXF, Roland Integra and Korg TR-Rack.
In REAPER, one can set up a track that will receive MIDI events from one device and will send it to another device (optionally map then to specified channel).
REAPER MIDI Setup Quick Guide (I don't have REAPER opened, however it is very close to texts there):
In order to receive or send to MIDI devices, they first need to be enabled in REAPER settings -> MIDI Devices.
Then, a track can be added. Right click record button, then select Record -> MIDI -> device (FA-07) -> All Channels.
Arm this track.
Enable Input Monitoring on that track.
When you now press keys on FA-07 you should see activity displayed in the track meter. Nothing is forwarded yet.
Then, show routing settings for that track. Set Hardware output to device that will receive the notes (Fantom XR) and optionally select channel to send to (all forwarded events will have this channel).
This will be sufficient to forward MIDI messages between devices. If nothing is received on target (Fantom XR), check that MIDI receive channel is correctly set and in case its MIDI input is switchable from USB to MIDI ports, check that setting as well. To verify REAPER routing, use application like MIDI Monitor on Mac or MidiOX on Windows to check incoming and outgoing messages.
In order to hear sound from them, add another track, select sound input, arm it and set input monitoring to on.
Wish you best of luck.
