Excited with my new Fantom since yesterday!

[CJ]

Hi all,

Just want to share my excitement!

I got my Fantom (7) yesterday and of course it was
a long evening :-)

As a long time former user of Fantom X before until 6 or 7 years ago I went with Motif XS after, no bashing) it feels like coming home again with the new Fantom.

I have the 'basic version' 1.4.

Can I go straight upgrading to 2.0?

And I saw a video but can not find it anymore, about installing some older SRX cards (virtually) from the Axial website. How can I do that?

Anymore exploring tips for me? (mainly live gigging, and sometimes compose own songs)

I start to explore scene chains, group switch keys etc.

Thanks in advance.

Okay, I go on with the fun :-)

Yes, upgrade to the latest version. Follow instructions carefully. Use 16Gb or smaller flash drive. Did I mention to follow upgrade instructions carefully? Congrats!

You managed to stop playing to write a few lines here !!!!
Congratulations....very many.

Don't stop upgrading to Ver 2.0, we have 2.01 already.

Thank you so far FGM and Devnor !

Yes eventhough I did watch a lot of information videos and read this forum ( ;-) ) and FB-group I have to admit that with my new Fantom it's all overwhelming, and I mean this in a positive way :-)

There are so many things I want to explore, but in the mean tie I try to keep on realizing I have many years from now on to take my time to learn a lot about this amazing machine (same like when I had the Fantom X (you learn through the years) .

Enjoy! The expansions are all downloaded via the Roland Cloud app, as are the SN pianos and EPs.

Remember there is the option to select all expansions you pretend to install using SHIFT... they will install altogether in a simple single step.

Thank you all for the info and tips !

I am 'busy' exploring :-)

Some things that came up to me:

- Can I upgrade straight from my 1.04 vesion to the latest 2.01 without any hassles ?

- I want to import some one-shot audio-samples. Will I have to keep on sticking in the USB-stick then or once it is imported in the Fantom it stays in the Fantom ?

- Somehow I can not find anymore that short video of Ed Diaz explaining how to install (all) SRX sounds.


I am happy with my Fantom :-)

Oh I found it, the SRX/EXZ expansions installing video I meant was this one, and not with Ed Diaz :
