Re: Update 2.50 bricked my Fantom 7

I reinstalled version 2.00. That worked fine. Redownloaded 2.50 and installed it again. Worked!!! Thanks for your help.

Re: Update 2.50 bricked my Fantom 7

Yes, that is exactly what I did. I have done it many times before without any problem.

Update 2.50 bricked my Fantom 7

Just updated to 2.50. After the normal boot sequence, the screen goes black and the keypad on the right has a circular pattern of light in the outside row. The power switch won't turn it off. I redownloaded the update, put it on a different USB drive and tried again. Same thing. How do I fix this?

Re: Missing menu

SOLVED! I was in Zone View and not Zone Edit. The Roland tutorial didn't mention going into Menu and choosing Tone Edit, it goes straight from Tone View to the Parameter screen!!!

Re: Missing menu

Zone 1 selected. A piano is there. Press ORGAN and 0309:Lord Organ 1 appears. Press PARAM key under EFFECTS and a window saying MFX shows 07:Enhancer. Rotating the jog wheel counterclockwise the end is reached showing 00: Thru. Rotating it clockwise I get to the end that shows 90:Script 100. Pressi...

Missing menu

I have updated to 2.0 firmware and have been trying to set up a rotary speaker effect on an organ. I have been trying to follow Ed Diaz's instructions on YouTube but when I bring up the Effects Parameters menu to change the MFX, there is no menu in the left column. It is blank. Has something changed...

There is no such thing a "MIDI Audio". Whatever you're doing, it's not that.
No, I meant USB audio ;?)

Recording Fantom 7

I've been trying to record a piano performance into Logic Pro without much success. First, I tried MIDI audio. No matter what settings I used, the sound was distorted so I reverted to a micing up my (Peavey) keyboard amp. I have noticed it before but when I go higher up the treble end, the sound los...

Re: Program Version Error

Problem solved. I wasn't letting the Board 1 update complete before changing over the USB drive. There is a sort of ASCII progress bar at the top which has to run all the way to the right. Not very obvious but the cold light of day and all that!

I've tried twice with different downloads and USB sricks. Followed the update instructions to the letter. I can't even...
