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 These two issues were fixed with version 3.02 f...

The Fantom 6 is heavier than my Korg Nautilus at 30lbs but does the Fantom 6 have the same
issues or no?

Can you be more specific about the "polyphony issue" that you are concerned about?

How can I change the IFX settings? I took the following screenshot from the parameter guide. fa-effects-edit.png On this screen, you need to switch from M.Comp to IFX. Then press SHIFT + 7 to edit the IFX settings. You can find more information in the parameter guide starting on page 14, and in the...

Do you have any new suggestions for Hammond? I inserted an TFX, Vinyl, on a Studio Set with Hammond: the sound improved a lot, well I say.... but then I found the effect on all the Studio Sets! How do I hold it without it being all over the keyboard? However I found that an IFX VK Rotary effect add...

Hello, can CC messages, aftertouch, and pitch bend from the external keyboards be used to control Roland Juno DS through Sys Ctrl 1–4 Sources? Thanx I do not have a Juno DS, and I can not verify it. However, based on my MC-101, and based on the Juno-DS manual, I am fairly sure that it does. More sp...

So my questions are: - If I use the Bespeco pedal, is there really a possibility of causing damage, and of what kind? ...or is it a commercial excuse? 😏 - What could I use the Bespeco pedal for? I would like to modulate volume and sustain, but the second slot for a footswitch. I already had a switc...

I have read some possible issues regarding triggering FANTOM sounds via external MIDI keyboard. I plan to trigger some addn sounds from the internal section (ie Organ pt2) via a Novation Impulse MIDI keyboard. Based on the subject, I guess you are asking about issues that are specific to connecting...

I am evaluating to move from my current JunoDS to a Fantom-0 and one thing I would like to know is how is the MFX handling on the Fantom=0. In the JunoDS each tone can have 1 MFX assigned and although you can have up to 16 tones in a single performance (the JunoDS equivalent to Fantom-0 scene), sin...

Do the FA-07 and FA-06 have studio sets like the FA-08? That wasn't clear to me when i've borrowed one (i think the FA-07). Yes, all 3 of them have studio sets. As mentioned before, they are basically identical, except for keybed, dimensions and weight. There is only one set of manuals for all 3 of...

is there a way to play/trigger WAV samples that are imported to pads with keys of the Fantom 0 or with MIDI keyboard controller attached to MIDI in port? It can be done on the FA, so I'm thinking it may be possible to do it on the Fantom as well, I wonder if anyone here has any experience there. Th...

Now i wonder if the new Phantom models have mostly the same tones. There are some existing topics on the differences between the FA-06/07/08 and Fantom-06/07/08, and your question might be covered by one of them: https://forums.rolandclan.com/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=64987 https://forums.rolandclan...

I've had the FA-08 for years now and I'm pretty happy with it. I got a lot happier with the available organ tones when i downloaded and installed a couple of expansion packs. Sometimes it's a drag trying to fit a full-sized keyboard in at a gig, though. I wonder if a smaller model would work as wel...

turn on voice assign mode to full- set voice reserve to 20+ for each voice that's turned on. If you're not using a voice, leave it on zero. That will give you more polyphony without notes dropping out. As you layer more voices, polyphony drops for each voice. I have 2 pianos and some strings layere...

Today I switch on and all Zone 1’s are set to USER Tone 0001 again. If I program the right sound in Zone1 and save the scene, go out and come back in, it’s back to Tone 0001 / No assign. It would be good to rule out that it has anything to do with something that is connected to the Fantom. The next...

I wonder which keyboard workstation has the best (most realistic) sounding amp and cab sims onboard. I am particularly asking about high gain sounds. I wonder how Fantom compares in this department to the other workstations like Kurzweil K2700, KORG Nautilus, Yamaha MODX Plus or Montage and AKAI MP...
