Roland Clan Forums

I have come to the conclusion that Roland no longer care about aftertouch as their two main markets [home pianos and techno kiddiz] wouldn't understand what aftertouch is even if you gave them a full-on demo showing how expressive it can be because their understanding of music and playing technique ...

I have a similar problem with my earlier Fantom X8: absolutely leaden aftertouch. I'm pushing 70 and my knuckles really can't take the kind of abuse needed to get any response from the aftertouch on my Fantom X8. It's not as if Roland don't know how to do aftertouch properly. I have owned an XP-60, ...

First off, I'm in for the long-haul as a former owner of a Jupiter 6 synth that I had to part company with after almost 30 years of daily use. This is not a drama diss to big up some other synth. This is meant as constructive criticism. I'll probably still be playing my Jupiter X in 20 years time. T...

Hello Royce! Thank you for your suggestions. I think it might be a variation of option 1 in my case as the dead notes are: D#3, B3, G4, D#5, B5, G6. which are all at 8 semitone intervals. Oddly, all the notes below C3 work just fine. Do I need to look for a broken track on the PCB? FWIW, the ribbon ...

I recently acquired a Roland JV-90 as a 'fixer-upper' project. After replacing multiple front panel switches and other minor faults, I'm left with one that stumps me: Dead notes. I've tried the go-to fix of cleaning the circuit board and contact strips with isopropyl alcohol but to no avail. As a te...

I'm back again as I'm building up a new computer with Windows 10. This time when I tried following the method outlined above it kept failing until I disabled driver signing using the method outlined on this page: http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-to-disable-driver-signature-verification-on-64-bit-...

I got the warning panel about unsigned drivers or whatnot. All I had to do was to click on the 'go ahead anyway' option and it installed the drivers. Bliss!

I had no end of problems with Dell laptops. And, yes, dpclat.exe is a useful guide. For anyone still experiencing these sort of problems try turning off Wi-Fi [and maybe even your LAN chip] and see if that resolves your problem.

I used method 2 for both my Fantom X8 & SH-201 and it worked both times. 1] Rebooted computer after running the script to disable driver signing enforcement. 2] Test mode gumph appears in the bottom left corner of the screen. Safe to ignore. 3] Install drivers manually: Plug in usb cable from sy...

Hi! I tried installing the Fanton X series Win7 & Win8 drivers in Windows 10 and both failed. I had a go at hacking the RDIF1045.INF file and almost got the drivers to install but it failed because a hash signature didn't match up..... or something like that. Also had the same problem with the d...

I updated my computer to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and now USB communication with my Fantom X8 is broken. I tried installing the Windows 8 drivers normally and in compatibility mode and it hung forever. I also tried installing the drivers manually through the Device Manager but that failed too. Any ...

It failed for me :(

SH-201 USB drivers also failed.

As the heading says: Cannot install SH-201 USB drivers in Windows 10 I updated my computer to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and now USB communication with my SH-201 is broken. I tried installing the Windows 8 drivers normally and in compatibility mode and it hung forever. I also tried installing the dri...

Hello Howard! I'll see if I can home in on what exactly causes my X8 to get stuck in OMNI mode. It might take a few days. I'll report back it I have any success. Re: an improved OS for the X-series. I was just thinking out loud. I can see room for improvement and seeing how synths are software-based...

Update: Last night I had to switch Remote Keyboard to 'ON' in order to get my Fantom X8 to respond to patch-change commands sent from Cubase [I run Cubase to provide the backing tracks, patch-change and various other MIDI commands during my live performances]. Afterwards I tested the Fantom X8 and i...
