Roland says, "This is the latest operating system for the Fantom-X Version 2. Your unit will already have to be running Version 2.00 to perform this update. Please refer to the readme.pdf for the update procedure."

Lol, but how do I get to Version 2.00?

You need to purchase an Audio Track Expansion kit wich takes the version to 2.0.

That kit is hard to come by, but you´ll have to ask in every music store for remaining stock.

Thanks jgore. I called Guitar Center, and they ordered me a "Fan X UP1" for $50.

You are welcome.

You have been quite lucky to find it. Old fantoms users are crazy to get one of them.

After the upgrade is installed, you can go from 2.0 to 2.10

So all this thing is is a CompactFlash card? Why dont't they just make this available for download? I already spent $3000 on an X-8, lol.
