Are the model expansion free ?

[Alban428]

Hello,
Not fantom owner today, but, maybe soon.
I am looking for the Fantom 8 and I am not sure to understand if the expansions juno-106, jupiter8, jx-8p and sh-101 are free or not today.
I read some old information that it was free in April and become paying afer summer. But today, with the cloud manager I can download the files. Does it works if I install it on my future fantom ?

I think you'd better ask Roland...

Anyway, offers do work for a period of time, a window, so it might be available now but could very well become expired the day before you finally receive your Fantom 8 or luckily see other, improved, opportunities rising after having received a nay from Roland on your question.

Good luck.

And very many congratulations.

Thanks for your help, I just asked to the support. Wait and see.

I had a quick response from the support !

Hello,

Yes, I can confirm these Expansions are still included (free) with the Fantom 6.
Please register the Fantom 8 in the 'MyGear'section in your Backstage account.

There is a mixing of Fantom 6 and Fantom 8 in the response that turns ...very ...funny...tricky.... tangled ...?
I mean...what about Fantom 7...?

🤔🤔🤔🤔

[Alban428]

That's a good question :) :)

Finally, I bought my Fantom 8 and installed all the models and all the free expansions.

Great.
First things first.
Time for you to carry on backing-up everything.
A full backup, all-scenes backup, all tones backup... everything.

I have been using SanDisk 128GB Ultrafit USB 3.1 with no issues at all along this two years and another one but with 256 GB is about to arrive. Hope it is not too large...

[FGM]

Just arrived and tested...the 256GB stick.

35 seconds to see the start-up scene.
Then "keyboard groups" and "sample pads" alternate on upper right corner for another 16 seconds.
51 seconds start-up process till fully ready to play (without freezing).

As of today, it would appear that the 4 model expansions are still free for Fantom 6/7/8 - is that correct?

[muso7]

Yes, correct....

I confirm. Downloaded and installed a few days ago.
