Windows 10 and Editor

Post by Flowrian123 »

Hi eveybody,

I own a Fantom XR. I can't use the Editor on Windows 10.
The program itself works, but I can't see my Fantom under "set up Midi devices".
The last driver to download is for windows 7. (though it runs with windows 8 as well)
Can anybody help to solve this problem.

thank you,
Flo

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'.
3. You'll need to install the driver directly using the Windows device manager *as opposed to using the included 'installer app'*.
