Re: My Roland Fantom-0 Rant

Here are the things I like about it when I compare it to the Jupiter 80 (that I owned as my main board for the past 10 years before retiring it) - 1. Various Expansion Models 2. Sampling 3. Pattern Sequencing / Song Building 4. Sample Pad 5. extremely lightweight compared to the Jupiter 80. Apparent...

Re: Disable Touchscreen

Last year when I got my Fantom 07, it was acting weird w/ the touch screen. If I recall correctly, whenever I pressed something on the screen it would go modify a function on another area. I thought I was going crazy. Doing a factory reset and firmware update did not help fix this. I had to send it ...

MIDI command on how to automatically run the song sequence?

Hi ! I was reading through the Fantom documentation, and I am baffled on this issue because there might seem to be no answer or likely not possible. I am well aware that there are midi messages we can send to change scenes at certain points in software like Logic, even at certain points in the song....

problem with pattern recording using pitch bend (ver 1.02)

Topic says it all! When recording a pattern with the pitch bend moving, I am hearing something weird going on. It does not playback right at times. In fact, auto playback after recording is extremely inaccurate when it is done. Has anyone else encountered this? It also doesn't seem to play the patte...

Re: Fantom 0 1.02 bugs?

Mine crashes all the time simply by not playing it for a few mintutes. I had the same issue but with any OS (1, 1.01 or 1.02). The main board is flawed and you should take it to your dealer to have them replace it for another board or another Unit. I've just picked my unit that had the main board c...

transposing keys to patches only

Hi gang, I had to send my Fantom-07 back, but a replacement is due in and I can't wait to work more on it. Before I did so, I had tested the transpose feature. It worked as it should, but I was under the impression that it would transpose the whole patch only and if I moved to the next one, the tran...

how to use the sub output

Hi guys, I got a question regarding the sub output. As I was trying to experiment with it, I noticed the reverb of the tone goes into the main output despite directing the sound to go to the sub out. I don't want to have that happen. I just want everything I send to sub out to go to those channels w...

Fantom 0 1.02 bugs?

I got the Fantom 07 and I have been experiencing some issues with mine since the firmware was updated. Has anyone had these two problems with theirs? 1. The touch screen would not function properly when you selected parts. It would open up something totally different that you know you did not select...

Re: Arpeggio Phrase Editing? - Fantom 06

I completely agree. This is not just a Music Workstation feature. In principle, Fantom is a synthesizer and not a Workstation like the old Fantom, Fantom X and Fantom G, but it is not just a basic function of Music Workstation. Juno X, Jupiter X, JD-XA, V-Synth, etc. are also not Workstations, and ...

Re: Disable velocity ?

I know this topic is old, but I want to address it for future reference because it appears to be incorrect information. Being the keyboard is discontinued, it might not matter to many in some ways - but this may help those who want to try and who adore the Jupiter 80 very much like myself. In a gene...

Elton John Roland Ad ?

Hey guys, I got a question for you. There was an ad I ran across a long while ago that was from the late 1980s-early 1990s that had a photo of Elton John smiling and standing next to an upright RD-1000 in the photo. Sadly, I did not save this and now I can't locate it anywhere on the web. Do any of ...

Re: FA 06 + FA08

I understand the complaints about it lacking aftertouch, but that never was the deciding factor when I bought a new keyboard.

Then again, I guess if it doesn't suit you, then you're probably better off with something else. So many boards, so little time.

Re: Errors on synth legends collection

I am happy with it, but also unhappy with it. Some of the patches I tried to save collectively (there were seven of them) gave me an error when I was trying to export them collectively. The only way around this was to save them individually. How do I know Legends is doing this? Well I did a factory...
