X8 SYSTEM CRASH NOW X7

Did you install an OS update? Perhaps you did a mistake and installed the update for X7 and not for X8.

Try the forum search function. I think I can remember that someone here on the forum had the same problem and fixed it.

best, robi

Fantom X8 V2 512MB and SRX-11

the last thing installed was the audio expansion pack done worked fine nothing else where do I get the OS update?

here
the last version for 2.X OS audio track version (that is, 2.10).

hope that helps

Magus hit me with the post, but again, 2.10 is the latest (not 2.01 please note).

Thank guys Have put it in OS update as per instruction the version info still reads it as a X7 version 2.10 when its an x8. is the OS base an x7?
then with more features being the extra keys, sounds etc, all the difference so since having a meltdown it reverts back to its primal OS x7
Does anybody know where I can get the X8 operating system boot disk or something along those lines or is this to high tech should I send it back to Roland New Zealand
Help

You can tell your Fantom-X6/X7/X8 which model it is through the service menu. NOTE: This may void your warranty. If you're uncomfortable doing this, have a Roland service technician do it for you. The process is simple, but if you make a mistake, results may be bad. If you're not intimidated by this, here's how to change the setting.

1) Turn on the power to the unit.
2) Press the MENU button.
3) Select the "Utility" option with the VALUE dial (or INC/DEC or arrow buttons) and press ENTER.
4) Press F4.
5) In precisely the following order, press the buttons SHIFT, then F4, then F5, then F1, then F8. The display will change to the service Startup Menu screen.
6) Press F8 (EZHMI) to enter the Service Utility screen.
7) Press the +OCT button 3 times to display the 3.PJCODE screen.
8) Press F3 (88Keys) to set the Fantom-X to be an X8.
9) Turn off the power and turn it back on again. Your Fantom-X should now present itself as an X8 and all 88 keys should work.

Hi nickjrnz.

Welcome. I don't fully understand the question. Is this related to a Fantom-X crash? Consider starting a new thread, or I can start one for you if you like, though I'm still not quite clear on the issue you're experiencing.
