Bugs in Firmware & User-wishes (all in here)

This post is addressed to Dan Krisher, where i know he is from Roland XD

I report it here, because i didn't found a better place to report

Dan, if you read this, i found a bug in the Fantom G using the mouse in Song-Mode (Song-Edit and Song-Play)

We have the track view, which is parted in trackview and measures.
The bug is in the left, trackview.

The bug is following:

Using the smallest zoom-step:
* click with the mouse on the highest tracknumber, visible in the view, it is not activated,
* but, if you click some tracks above it is going to be activated.

so the dimensios are not calculated right.
On the right side is everything fine, there it works.
Also it works with higher zoom-steps.

Perhaps you can assure this bug is going to be fixed in next firmware-revision?

Thank you very much in advance.
Btw.: Last time i missed an undo-function in song-mode

This would be nice to have in other modes, too, perhaps. Patch/Sample/Effects f.e

Best Regards
Tobias

Don't get your hopes up m8.

I reported this bug 2 years ago and have moaned about it and many other mouse bugs many many many times since. (ask anyone.. lol)

So your options are :

1. Put up with it and guess what your going to click.
2. Change zoom modes but then you don't get so much work area.
3. Don't use the mouse (what I ended up doing because it is completely useless on the G)

that is not a bug. thats the way roland designed it. the fantom g is gods gift to musicians. dont dare point out a flaw or shortcoming.

Yes, Roland has decided to make a totally halfbaked OS (and I mean halfbaked in each and every area of its OS functions!) a brand design feature for the Fantom G!
Halfbaked by design, so to say.

And Roland apostles will tell you: take it or leave it, just never expect any too fast improvements from this company and for this device: using the G means living in a slow motion development area, and snails hate to get hasty

Jimknopf, no disrespect intended... but just like a fly you seem to be attracted only by posts which have shit in them

Seems like a place I can vent for 5 mins..

You all know what I'm like with customer support that is not up to par. Let me give you all a warning and never buy a hannsG or HannsSpree monitor.

I bought a high def 28 inch model 3 months ago that was dead on arrival. I have been informed every single week that a replacement is due in and will be shipped by the end of the week only to be let down.

The replacement company won't give me any contact information to speak to hannsG directly and I can't see an end to this.

Next time I buy IIyama

If you mean references to having to deal with a shitty unupdated OS too long, yes

)))
And by the way, in contrast to flies humans are not attracted by bad smelling things, but rather feel bothered as long as no one stops what stinks

No disrespect intended??? LOL
Keep on practising!

Jimknopf, yes, there is of course no smoke without fire - but I once again insist that too much smoke is unhealthy

Re: Bugs in Firmware & User-wishes (all in here)

We completely agree on that.

But the smoke will only stop when the fire stops.
Not when those who shout "fire!" keep silent

Hmmm . . . I was just wondering. Who is wiser? The lion, or the little guy who relentlessly keeps poking the lion with a twig? I might suggest that, in the end, it doesn't matter!

I just thought I'd show up, seeing as how this is turning into one of those threads.
