Re: Maintaining transpose setting when switching via Favorit in Fantom-G · 16 Jan 2010

Thanks to you both for your help! Perhaps another tip -- to 'smooth' out the volume differences between patches stored in favorites, you can save the 'Favorites volume' you select via knob 4. Thanks again. -JD

Re: Maintaining transpose setting when switching via Favorit in Fantom-G · 15 Jan 2010

Thanks for the response quebec88, but will that work for Performances too (Live mode 'splits / layers')? Perhaps I don't quite understand your workaround..?

Maintaining transpose setting when switching via Favorites in Fantom-G · 15 Jan 2010

Hi, I've noticed that when the G is in 'Favorites' mode, and I set the Transpose down a half-step, if I switch to another patch in the favorites list, the transpose setting is reset back to '0'. Is there a way to have th...

Control FG Performance from FX Performance via MIDI? in Fantom-G · 15 Jan 2010

Quick question: Essentially I'd like to play the X8's keys, but control a G7 performance split from the X. Possible? Or am I stuck using the slaved keyboard in 'single' mode all of the time? Thanks for any help. -JD

Re: Updated to v1.30, but can't restore backed up default v1 in Fantom-G · 11 Jan 2010

Thanks for the reply cyclops.. I attempted your suggested method without success.. I'm guessing that the default v1.20 project isn't somehow compatible with v1.30? -JD

My X8 has been repaired and is good-as-new. It only took the repair technician a few hours to tear things down and replace the key-bed. Got the X in time for a gig this Saturday.. it's good to have her back! -JD

problem discovered in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 6 Jun 2008

FYI A local Roland authorized tech has diagnosed the problem with my X8. He said that the key-bed's 'sub frame' was broken in two places, which was allowing the keys to sag in the middle of the board. The sagging is caus...

Re: X8 Key-bed problems in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 29 May 2008

Thanks guys for the advice. I've contacted a local repair shop, and found that they currently have a 2-3 week backlog of work. With a gig coming up in less than two weeks, I'll need to look for a good chunk of free, no-g...

X8 Key-bed problems in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 27 May 2008

Hello, I'm having an issue with my X8 where a few of the keys in the middle of the key bed don't 'feel' right. They (G#3, A3, & D4) all exhibit a 'spongy' feeling, and two of them click fairly loudly (not through the aud...
