Fantom 06/07/08 tone database with Bank Select numbers

Post by SirPlayalot »

I use the Fantom-07 in combination with a rather old version of Cubase. No need to upgrade, it does all I want.

But selecting tones in that old version is a pain. It uses Bank Select and Program Change.
The PDF that Roland gives us has only MSB, LSB and PC numbers, and to get the Bank Select number, you need to calculate (MSB*128 + LSB). Way too much hassle for me.

So I converted all the data in that PDF into a database. Mainly for my own use, but others may also want to have it, so I decided to put it online.

You can search the database on tone name, categories, keywords, whatever you like. It gives you all the data (MSB/LSB/Bank Select/Program Change/Category) and on smartphones it has a compressed display (Tone name, Bank Select and Program Change only). The output is sortable on every field you want, just click the column names to do so.

So in short: if you need to enter the proper parameters in your software and it wants a Bank Select and Program Change parameter, this is your solution. Just enter any keyword and the database will give you all tones that match that keyword in either tone name, or category name.

Currently, it holds data of the standard loaded tones as well as all free available EXSN- and EXZ-expansion packs. A separate page was made for all the LSB/MSB/BankSelect/PC information on USER-tones.

Presets and Expansion packs: ( 6250 tones ) https://www.netweters.nl/roland/fantom-0-series.php
USER-tones: ( 2688 user definable tones ) https://www.netweters.nl/roland/usertones.php
