Event 20/20 BAS, great for its price.

Hello T20,

yes the Fantom-XR outputs are balanced !
If you use it with balanced cables you have the advantage of a better signal to noise ratio.
Search the forum with "balanced" or "TRS" keywords, it has been discussed here.

Are there any demos available yet ?

<r>Na so toll kann das SRX-12 ja nicht sein, wenn Roland so lange braucht um mal ne Patchlist oder gescheite mp3-Demos zur Verfügung zu stellen.<br/> Wenn man so lange braucht um Demos zu erstellen die gut klingen, dann schwant mir Böses.<br/> Aber immerhin: Man redet d'rüber.<br/> <br/> Zum Video s...

Would be helpful to find out if the board is a must or just a nice to have.

<r>Roland has a great chaos regarding the Version Management of their OS updates.<br/> Downloaded .bin file from roland site (Fantom-XR->Updates).<br/> Folder inside zip is named FantomX678v202.<br/> That's their first fault.<br/> Second fault: fanx2.bin file is for keyboard version not for Fantom-X...

<t>Hi,<br/> <br/> I own both, a Fantom-XR and a XV5080.<br/> XV5080 is better when editing patches and performances because of its bigger display. That's important for me when playing live (and tweaking sounds), because I don't have a PC with an editor on stage.<br/> Fantom-XR sounds "clearer" and m...

Mensch ist das toll.
Endlich mal einer der auf deutsch schreibt !
Nichts gegen die englische Sprache, aber es tut einfach mal gut.

Good to know that the Device ID is part of the MIDI patch file.
Everything is clear now.
Thanks for your confirmation and help.

<t>I determined a strange behaviour of the Fantom-X-Editor when importing SMF's.<br/> When the Device-ID (Editor-Menu "Setup Midi Devices") is configured to any other number than the default 17, SMF's (patches from patches section) can't be imported.<br/> I determined that because I wanted my Fantom...

No single JV syx file can be transformed. Error Message: "Unknown sysex or file type."
Are there any restrictions according to JV series synthesizer (e.g. JV1080 only) ?
The SW can be found here: http://freespace.virgin.net/jr.bowden/programs.htm

Thanks for help.

<t>I got it.<br/> My approach was too complicated.<br/> I tried to play .mid files with a midi file player into my FXR but that's not necessary.<br/> <br/> It's very easy to import .mid files into Fantom-X Librarian or Patch-Editor Software and transfer the selected patch to Fantom-XR with the write...

Thanks for the info.
My next problem is - how can I find out if the MIDI file is a Librarian or SysEx file, cause the extension is the same and there is no hint in the patches section. Do I have to analyse the file data structure or is there an easier way ?

ProgressiveD, that's not the point.
I tried to transfer patch data as .mid files in sysex format to my XR in order to check out the patches.
Any other help available ?

<t>I tried to load the .mid files (syx format) from the patches section into my Fantom-XR via external sequencer (XR has no built-in sequencer).<br/> Sequencer Midi Out -> Fantom-XR Midi In, Connection ok, Data transfer takes place, no new sound is indicated on Fantom-XR.<br/> Yes I read the infos o...
