There are terrible reviews on youtube and other forums stating that just putting together 3 layers, the sounds cut off. Like holding the sustain pedal and the 1st sound stops after the 3rd note is triggered. For a board that offer 8 layers seems hinky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M74BhNKkXnE&...

About AFT issue, my experience with my Fantom 8 differs from many posts here as well as in other forums. In System Settings Aftertouch Sens is set to 100. I can trigger AFT without extrem pressure, it's indeed a BIT hard (maybe too hard, but I don't know) but absolutely far from the feeling of brak...

This sounds like it's a significant improvement for aftertouch, something that people have been wanting for quite some time now. Yes, I slowly increased and then slowly decreased the pressure on the keys and recorded the modulation into the sequencer. This is definitely better than a on/off-modulat...

This update certainly improves the aftertouch on my Fantom 7by setting the range to 10 in the system settings. However when I switch my machine back on, the value is saved in system settings but doesn't have any affect unless I reset the value again - really strange. Anyone else noticed this? Same ...

For aftertouch: Given the long history, and the failed attempt to fix it with v2.00 in Sep 2020, it would again make a huge difference if there would be more words about the changes. I agree on this. A non/bad-functioning aftertouch is simply unacceptable for a synth in this price range and should ...

I did a quick test with my Fantom 6. I set aftertouch sensitivity to 60% and pressure range to 10 and recorded aftertouch modulation to the sequencer. I managed to make a nice linear curve between min and max now. This sounds like it's a significant improvement for aftertouch, something that people...

now V3.02 aftertouch it works much better has many intermediate values compared to why it was only 0-1 before . with system setting value 10. Roland Fantom gives good performance after you learn to use it well in 2-3 years. I did a quick test with my Fantom 6. I set aftertouch sensitivity to 60% an...

Hey guys. This isn't the big update! : ) See more here! https://articles.roland.com/roland-engineering-designing-fantom/?fbclid=IwAR2LrOdx3Kv7jkxSKJ0307WtENCj67fve0USHdXK206mFn3aRiN-4BSalLY_aem_AZ-ZEcOPE_HH8lKgzEjpCwH5usg6LzVzbsg09qPEpb0BaMQxG2k-Pll6o1R5p7aiqgc The important part is.... "What ...

Update: Roland's service promised help immediately! Hence my recommendation: contact the service via Roland's homepage in the product portal. Very nice people, quick response. This is anything but self-evident! Good to hear! I think one should expect that a flagship-synth like Fantom works without ...

My perspective on lifecycle might be a little different than most. I make a living as a software developer (and I'm sure I'm not the only geek in the crowd), so phrases like "version 1.0" tend to make me twitch. This is especially true since I know marketing departments are always in a ru...

I'm auditioning the Fantom 06 today and a regular Fantom 6 tomorrow. I've been playing a Kronos for years and have become accustomed to the Steinway-ish German piano, and I've noticed that most all of the Fantom pianos have a lot of bite and brightness to them. That's not necessarily a bad thing as...

Hi, I've got this problem for about 2 or 3 weeks now. When I power on the device, it seems to start booting normally. After some 20-30 seconds it gets stuck. Only some lights are circulating but it won't actually start. When I turn the power off and on again, everything goes normally and the device...

I don't think you can draw any conclusions based on this. Gear4Music (a major UK based dealer) has all three versions in stock at full price. So do the dealers where I live. Instead of worrying too much about this, I prefer to keep enjoying the instrument :-)

Everything is probably just fine. You don't have to 'connect' Fantom to your DAW to use it as an audio- and midi-interface. Just select the correct audio- and midi-drivers in your DAW and you are good to go. The 'connect to DAW' button only applies to Logic Pro and Ableton Live (and Main Stage) user...

What if this is just the beginning for all of us that bought in Sept 19?? Yes, this would be a disaster for Rolands reputation and particularly the poor customers. Let's hope that will not happen. But my Fantom is probably from that period as well. It is a demo model used by Roland in Norway which ...
