Importing Audio Stems

I noticed recently that when importing audio stems that have silence in the beginning and/or at the end of an audio stem, that the Fantom X trims the audio track. I tried adding a click to the beginning of the tracks, but that didn't work. I wish the Fantom X would just import the audio "as is&...

Re: JP-8000 Sticky keys

The sticky keys actually have nothing to do with the grease. It's the springs. The springs lose tension over time and do not lift the key back into shape. You simply have to remove the key and pull the springs to lengthen them a bit. This increases the tension and everything will work great again. Y...

Re: The most disappointing reply from product support...

I have a Nord Wave that needs arps, splits, and a sequencer for two midi channels. The Roland FA-06 is exactly like my Fantom X6 in that you can not "mute" external midi. It also triggers both ext and internal sounds as well. The Roland Fantom G got it right, but for some reason ( probably...

No external mute in sequencer mode

It seems the FA-06 cannot mute tracks triggering external midi gear. It will only mute the internal sound engine. In other words, the mute system is based on muting audio rather than midi notes. So the midi notes continue to run and trigger the external synths in sequencer mode. This is a major prob...

Re: sequencer

Not tried that myself in song mode but can't see why it shouldn't be possible,certainly in pattern mode each pad(pattern) is assigned to a midi note number so you can trigger patterns from an external midi device using note triggers like an external Keyboard or something similar Perfect! That will ...

Re: sequencer

I'm curious if in song mode you can trigger patterns externally with either a midi foot controller or keyboard. Thus I could record 16 different patterns and trigger them remotely with the FC-200 for example. My hands are too busy to reach over and hit the pads for changing patterns. Does this seem ...

JP-8000 Sticky keys

Just curious if anyone has had any troubles with sticky keys? I've fixed quite a few other keyboards with sticky keys, but this is the first time with the Roland JP-8000. I'm wondering if this could be a new problem as this synth ages more. Not a problem to fix as bad or dirty grease is likely the p...

Re: JP-80x0 Librarian & Editor (AudioUnit, VSTi) for MAC and

Thanks, but the price tag is far too high IMO. €149 for a librarian...wow! I'm sure it'll be great, but at that price sadly I and many others will never find out. It's disproportionately expensive. €149 to control a €400 euro synth via a DAW. I can buy a brand new plug in synth for less. €79 would ...

Re: Fantom Creator Released

Oh, I also forgot to mention that I also have Motif Creator and it reads my Kontakt file just fine. I changed it to "One Shot" instead of "Loop" in Kontact first. However, when I open in Fantom Creator it reverts the setting back to Loop and saves it as Loop. In Motif Creator it ...

Re: Fantom Creator Released

Thanks very much for the update. I wasn't aware of the limitations of Kontakt version v4.2 and v5. I only use Kontakt with Fantom Creator because it's not reading much of any other format. I'll be happy to send a list of formats that are not working with Fantom Creator. Also, I communicate on this f...

Re: Fantom Creator Released

Thanks! I submitted a bug report. Indeed the main two things that are killing me right now with Fantom Creator are the inability to edit the following in Sample Edit: KeyRange VelRange Loop Type Currently I am using the Fantom X to resolve the the Loop Type issue. The Key/Vel Range issues I'm using ...

Re: Fantom Creator Released

I updated to Build 26 and Fantom Creator now works nearly perfect! It's awesome and a huge thanks for making it even easier to import multisample into the Fantom X. The only minor problem left is that I am unable to save KeyRange and KeyVel edits from the Sample section. Everything else works flawle...
