Apologies if I should have posted this on the Soundcloud board instead but I figure XR owners might know better. I own a Fantom XR that I like to use in simple 'live-gig' setups because it's super stable and very easy to use (laptop is flimsy, has more setup/teardown steps, and is way overkill for m...

Depending on your main MIDI controller, you may well be able to force your keyboard (through its internal settings) to flip things around in the right order for the pedal. Also, some pedals have a polarity switch on them that you can trip that'll force it to work the other way. If you are working wi...

Just a quick guess, but I think some of these screens are just information displays. All they do is give you some visual feedback of whatever the XR last received over his MIDI/USB port, or from a playing SMF. If you want to change expression values you'll need to send them from a controller (I.E. a...

That's appalling. It broke all your installations- Did you post something to MS? Any response? They are bragging that 10 has had the biggest uptake of all the versions on Windows, but forgot to mention it was forced on most people. I had to take over my brother's laptop in Perth (I'm in Melbourne) ...

Please don't take offense, but I don't understand the need to run at the 'bleeding edge' when you have music to write and perform. Can't you turn off automatic updates in Win10? After spending so much time getting Win7 64 to run well I am loathed to update when I see the constant stream of problems...

You guys are great! Its because of guys like you that we are able to keep alive great hardware synths like the Fantom XR. Credo's procedure worked great...but you have to be really careful and read the topic he posts at the top about changing how Win 10 handles driver signing. Without following thi...

I don't personally own an X8, so I waited a few days to chime in here. Since no one else has posted yet I'll go ahead and state that I'm very confident that your X8 can be used with secondary controllers, as well as external sequencers. You'll find that your X8 should have some sort of 'patch mode' ...

There is no official USB driver for Windows 8.1, nor Windows 10. With some tweaking I was able to get the Windows 8 driver to install. 1. You need to do some text editing in one of the files in that download. 2. You'll need to boot Windows in a special mode that allows installing 'unsigned drivers'....

The Mac Version isn't going to work unless you're running Snow Leopard or before (a version that supports PPC code). You 'might' be able to get it working on a newer Mac using something like WINE, or inside a VM running XP, Vista, or Windows 7 (possibly 8, 8.1, or 10 with some driver tweaks). If you...

Hi guys. I am new user on forum :) I have roland fantom Xa, and I have problem with install Fantom X-Editor on my MAC 10.9... I get message, that the PowerPC is not supported on my operating system... Does anybody on this forum solve this problem? I know, that when I install ex. virtual machine wit...

Personally, I'd ask to demo the two boards at some length and see which one feels more like 'my fit'. Run it through all the usual tests (check every key with a MIDI monitor to make sure it's all working, and that velocity curves are calibrated and such). It's not just the features that matter in a ...

I don't think it is possible to get this anymore unless you luck out and find someone with a used copy and key they can attempt to transfer to you. A little over a year ago I was able to contact the company (Nexoe) that built it and they said Resampler and YASE are no longer available, period. It's ...

I tried today the EXP-05 for the FA, to check the EP's. It seems the Rhodes were programmed badly for the FA, the SRX-12 demos sounded a lot better. The Clavs, though, simply amazing. The best Clavs I heard in a rompler. the CA Clav makes Nord's Clavinet sound bad. Seriously. I reckon the Fantom ha...

Hello, Is there a way in Live setting play mode in Fantom X that the previous tone doesnt cuts out until I let go of the note the way Fantom G does. I have tried the sysex/rps stuff but that only changes patches for me doesnt do performances. Is there a way to setup sysex/rps to change performances...
