Operating update screw over help!

Can't imagine what the problem could be. My S88 works fine with 1.09. There should be no issue with jumping all the way to 1.09 at least there never has been mentioned here. Where did you get the OS update? Are you sure you got all the file? Doing a factory reset will not remove the currently installed OS version. Did you upgrade from a card or from a usb connection? Keep posting and someone will figure it out.

nothing...sorry

Chris, I don;t have an S, I have an X, but I would expect the reset to only reset the user patches, performances, songs etc... not the OS.

Thanks guys, having some people over tomorrow night would like to lick this thing.......also just invested in an EMU 1820 recording package so i dont need this now.

I pulled the update off the site PianoD (here) it give's you the whole Roland file but only said to drag over the fans.bin file - thats all I'm doing. Used USB to update.

I was on the first Fantom website CD here, I have since changed jobs, moved, bought another house, wife had baby, etc....I havent been very active on this site or musically in the last six months, other than jamming with friends..

Nice touch of smokey jazz blues there on "Barearms" Dboulden....even perhaps a bit Zepplin'y.

Yea, you did Valentine. I still listen to that tune every now and then. Hey just curious, before you did the first upgrade and factory reset, did you back up all your songs and samples to a smart card or your computer via usb? If so have you restored since the update and factory reset?
EDIT Oh and congratulations on the new baby. When will we hear some compositions from the little one?

Thanks Piano I believe I still have one of your SQV files on my card that I used to sneak a peak at how your effects were set up to learn from..

Yes I have everything on my computer - no problems there...
just cant get it back on the Fantom. I bounce files back-n- forth regularly guys this shouldent be a problem.

Chris, "Bare Arms" was was written by my good friend Roger Bunn. I first made his acquaintance when he contacted me out of the blue to ask if he could record in my studio for free if he bought me dinner.... *LOL*.... so in typical fashion for me I said "yes, Ok". He turned up, we recorded the track, and true to his word he bought us a slap-up chinese take-away.

He's a great character and full of amazing (but true) stories. Like the one where he turned up to one of Jimi Hendrix's first gigs in London only for Jimi himself to come up to him and say "Hi Roger, where've you been?". This of course somewhat perplexed Roger as he didn't actually know Jimi... until Jimi explained that Roger had attended open auditions some days earlier to play in Jimi's band and that he had been trying to find him since the audition to offer him the job. And to cap it all... Roger forgot even this until someone recently reminded him of the whole story.... like people say "if you remember the 60's, you weren't there".

WHoa Dboulden thats kinda a Sid Barret story, one of the originators of Pink Floyed not many people know of. The dude was too far
out there, couldent perform in career mode.

Great story. The closest I've came to Hendrix was a Viet namm vet that was in my art class at Kent State years ago. Much older and mangled by shells but still molding & creating with one hand. He had been one of the less than 1/3 dwindled crowd left at Woodstock the 3rd & final morning when Jimi played. He saw it all, and amazed me as my respect grew for him listening to his story. He made me some 60's music tapes. I've never forgot him.

Well, the next question would be, have you tried going back to your last version update and starting over? Or at least go back one version and see if there is any change. By the way, what is the file size of the bins file you updated from. Just to make sure there isn't some silly little glitch in the download process that caused you to get an incomplete version of the upgrade. Silly glitches have caused many a hair to be torn out.

Piano

12,940 KB is file size

I was thinking same thing Piano - going backwards. But I would have to download and "update" an earlier OS.

What is the pdf file present next to the Roland file?
I just assumed it was a standard pdf text file but I cant open it - I didnt drag it over during the update.

** So by the way Piano - I lost all my samples from "Valentine" long ago and dont have the song on disc. havent heard it in over a year. Any chance of shooting me a copy? rudybarks@sbcglobal.net
That would ease my headace a bit here...

Well 12940 is what I have too. The pdf file is just a set of instructions on how to do the upgrade but if your menu system version tells you that 1.09 is in place then you obviously don't need the instructions. Hopefully, one of the more knowledgeable will jump in here and teach us both something.

As for the song, since you are the artist I don't have any problem shooting a copy your way. What format do you want it in? Keep in mind I have a killer slow isp connect but since your song is a short one it shouldn't take to long to email.

Oh what ever is easier piano, wave is best but mp3 quicker. Whatever you can rip it as as. Thanks a bunch for that one.
