Hi!. I was wondering if I am allowed to offer my Fantom 8 for sale on this forum? Or is it something that is prohibited? Thanks.

Stop Press!!!

Ver. 2.5 now available, includes Organ!!!!!!!

A pair of Adam A77X for me! I do like very much also the Sony noise-cancelling headphones for serious practice. The piano (V-Piano types my fave) sounds really very good through them. Also I do not get distracted by "key-clicks" form the keyboard mechanisms. Each one has their own preferen...

Welcome to the Fantom club! I would suggest you first set it up by using just the main outs, either XLR or 1/4" jacks, into your amplifier/ mixer. Don't try anything too complicated just yet. There will be plenty of time to get clever with it in the future. Just enjoy the amazing sounds, soak i...

I wish I could select any number of zones to be displayed. Currently we have 1, 4, 8 or 16 as the options. At times I use 6 or 7 or 3 zones, and it will be nice to use all the screen for them or as much as I wished. For example, having 4 zones working and planning to add a 5th, I would select 5 zon...

I quite agree regarding the limitations of 3/4 and 4/4 choice when selecting time signature. Come on. Roland, give us some more choice! Also, while I am happy to fiddle with drum programming/backing to suit my mood, I also find that the presets we have for practice accompaniment are old-hat and don'...

Likewise I just do not turn on the amps when I want private sounds! Incidentally, I use Sony noise-cancelling headphones and I can only say they are fantastic on the Fantom. The piano sounds are so authentic I am sometimes reluctant to go back to full PA audio (I have Adam A77X's for main sound out)...

Yep, thanks for that quick reply. I quite agree with your comments. The Fantom Supernatural Piano is very poor in comparison to a). V-Piano on the Fantom, and b). on my RD-700. It is obviously personal choice, but I used to gig my RD-700 (Jazz Trio) for some years, and was very pleased with the qual...

I have installed the new update that includes Supernatural piano. However, I am a little disappointed that I appear not to be able to make any adjustments to the sound, as I was able to on my old RD700NX. For example I cannot make the sound alter by "raising and lowering the piano lid' Have I m...

There is a very good chance that you will find the update already installed. Roland are pretty good at that sort of thing. You could check with your supplier.....

Yes thanks for that. I have now read them. I did not quite know how to drive the forum threads, but now realise that I should have posted with the other remarks. Well, at least I am not the only one with the glitch!

Hello all! Just joined up. I have the Fantom 8 and on version 1.11. Has anyone else noticed an occasional glitch when playing? I am merrily playing away when out of the corner of my eye, there is a flash of blue from the leds that illuminate the 16 in line buttons that enable selection of sound genr...
