fantom x6 help pleaseeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone I'm new here. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to use the fantom x6. There user manual is USELESS!!! It goes back and forth from one thing to the next, when you read something on pg10 it wants you to go to pg100 its crazy! I was wondering if anyone knew of a website that teaches you the basics of how to use this keyboard. Any information would be greatley appreciated! Thank you
Lisa

LISA33,

Hello and welcome to the Roland Clan.

Please check this thread where Forum member tzoid gives some excellent pointers and provides a link to the Roland site that has the Workshop documents for the Fantom. These are quite useful and are worth a pass or two through them.

Check out tzoid's pointers and links and you should have some good resources to check out.

Yes Lisa....

I have downloaded ALL the fantom "workshop" tutorials and I find that they are MUCH better written than the manuals. They are EASY to read and they don't ASSUME that you already KNOW a whole lot about recording. Very useful...Very easy to digest!

I'm new also, having my X6 for about 3 weeks now. I concur about the workshops. They are much easier than the manual, and where they can't go into as much depth as the manual. they point you to specific pages in the manual should you need to go deeper. They are in color as well and show the screens you will be looking at.

I would think Roland would supply the workshops as hard copy and the manual as a pdf.

I printed them all off on the colour laserjet at the office and spiral bound them! They're first class learning material, very well written and illustrated.

Not trying to be a Roland apologist, but if you're new to workstations, you're just going to have to accept that the learning curve is going to be a bit slow.

Definately, use all the online resoures available ... you'll figure it out ... butkeep in mind there's a lot going on with the Fantom ... hang in there; you'll get it ...

Not just that, but there's got to be a few more LISA's around.

Welcome to the forum LISA33. I found I couldn't really do much the first few days, but then things started to click and I'm coming around and it's starting to make sense, although I haven't totally figured out rhythm set editing which is next on my list of todo's.

Try reading FX handbook as much as you can.
You gotta read and learn. There is not short cut for the knowledge. If you don't know the machine, you have already missed a lot.And that lead to frustration.

i have owned my fantom for about 2 years and feel like i havn't touched the tip of the iceburg on it's capabilitys ,but i probably know more about it than most. I found that the DVD version of the manual was extremely helpful,but thousands of hours just playing it is key to your success.
