Finally, I can actually use this thing for what I purchased it for.

1. SMF export. I can not easily colab with other musicians who use MPCs and other sequencers.
2. Officially support 1 GB of memory. I will upgrade this weekend.
3. Typical Track edit functions that it should have shipped with.
4. Auto track function. Nice touch. Seems like my concerns were addressed!
5. Import audio. Can not select one or more samples to load or delete. My concerns mos def addressed!
6. Auto entry of track name
7. Added numerical values to the quantize setting. Like my MPC.

But what I really need:
1. Chop samples into more than the current 16 parts and create multiple sampled patch for keyboard playing not sample sets with those pads.

Good timing for me.

I sincerely was thinking about ignoring everything Roland on the internet until Namm 2009.

And if it did not come then, I was going to give up on Roland.

Thanks Roland and Dan and Art and everyone! :'-|

ehh, i guess i'll try to look forward to the arx announcements. i still don't know why people wouldn't use a computer for sequencing. for me it is so much more efficient than on the keyboard itself. if people used computers for the sequencing we wouldn't need to get all these random pointless updates. don't mean to be a downer but after getting my high from reading the post subject i am already back down after seeing what was actually updated.

Hi all.

I understand that Roland JV's in other countries should be putting up links to 1.20 tomorrow or in the next few days. In the meantime, please feel free to use the links that I provided to RUS.

Merci!

Great to see an update ... But from a non-owner, nothing that seems too exciting ... More like what should have been there in the first place but there wasn't enough time before getting Fan-G out the door ... (Although I can respect that certain usability issues take real-world use and time to become apparent and fix/implement ... Not to mention user requests if that actually had any influence ... )

However, as for the lack of automation on audio tracks ... I simply won't even consider Fan-G until its implemented ... What kind of DAW doesn't have that ... ??? Or put another way, when is Fan-G going to be a any kind of semi-serious DAW ... ??? Is that REALLY too much to ask for ... ??? (Maybe not until V2 ... )

Question ... Can effects params and others be automated or is Fan-G currently limited to MIDI params like Fan-X?

Fantoms don't have audio tracks but sampler which was adopted to behave like them. Using F-G for audio multitracking never will be optimal. You don't have effects per audio channels. There is is limited capacity for wave storage (as they must sit in a RAM) too. For occasional recordings and adding some audio it's fine. For serious multitracking work better get a proper machine or... connect even a cheap notebook to your Fantom-G. It's even easier as F-G can act as USB audio interface so no extra gear is needed at all.
Hard On!
