This is genius. Definitely the bug so many people where complaining. And Roland said there is no such problem.. thanks a lot - I’m also sure latest update will fix it.

Thanks a lot for clarification, despite I don’t like the answer. So I need to go via MIDI port.
Thanks again!

Okay, just connected the Nord Lead to EXT DEVICE and it works absolutely fine. What is happening? Why is it not working with the other boards…

Hi all, I have an issue with my EXT DEVICE Port. I want to connect a MIDI controller to it. It seams that it is not working correctly. I tried 3 midi Keyboards (CME, Korg MicroKEY and Akai lpk25). All seam to have issues. The CME sometimes sustains a note, Korg has a horrible latency and the Akai la...

I don’t think you can find something like that in the Fantom. The upright piano is not well tuned which makes it more complicated. I think dedicated upright pianos you can only find in something like nord or dexibell. But of course these once’s are better tuned (not perfect but quite realistic). If ...

I only use the board live. So it is okay. I'm coming from a Nord Stage 2 due to missing layer/split and multi velocity samples. Saying that the Piano is definitely a step back but the overall functions let’s me keep the Fantom and replace my Nord. But that’s only valid for my rock band. If there was...

V Piano is nothing a Update can bring. It needs its own hardware (engine). I’m using Complete Piano Expansions, as I’m also not happy with the pre installend Pianos.

I see and understand better now. Thanks for your afford! But this means, I need to purchase another 2 Widi devices. I don’t think I will spend the money. I have build a small MIDI „harness“ and mount it directly to the synth. It will take less then 1 min to connect it to the other devices. I don’t t...

I have tested the WIDI solution. Unfortunatley each WIDI Master supports only 1 iOS connection (I need 2). The Number of 5 devices is only Valid for 5 WIDI Masters. So I will switch back to the Cable solution.

To better manage those cables and even achieve multiple wireless MIDI connections (up to 5, if I remember well) via a single port... https://www.cme-pro.com/widi-master/ Own a pair. Terrific. I came across that one but didn’t realize I can buy 2 of them and put one in my Fantom and one in my Synth....

Yes unfortunately I have. I now have purchased the Roland UM-ONE MIDI Interface, and driving one of my device through the DIN MIDI in. Another Cable but it works for the moment.

Nice, maybe I will give it a try at some day. Real buttons are always better! What I’m wondering, why can the iPhone not be connected to the external decide usb? It just does not work to communicate with the Fantom. It only works using PC input. Is this something about USB limitations or is there a ...

Note that this message only works if the pad mode is set to keyboard switch group. AFAIK, the Fantom-0 uses exactly the same MIDI system exclusive messages. I could not find documentation about this sysex message in the manual. However, it is the message that the Fantom transmits when changing the ...

I just did an experiment with an iPad and MidiDesigner Pro, and I was able to create a simple layout and control the Keyboard Switch Groups from the iPad. This is not a cheap solution, because you need a spare iPhone, the camera connector kit, and the MidiDesigner app. However, I wanted to check th...

Thank you for all these tips. What I'm really looking for is to switch the Keyboard Group from lets say the very lower octave (left hand). In some cases it's just not practically to change the group with the right hand, as it is still needed to play some notes. I'm also open to mount a Pad Midi Cont...
