Be careful with OS update V2.02 for Fantom-XR

Post by DoItAgain »

Roland has a great chaos regarding the Version Management of their OS updates.
Downloaded .bin file from roland site (Fantom-XR->Updates).
Folder inside zip is named FantomX678v202.
That's their first fault.
Second fault: fanx2.bin file is for keyboard version not for Fantom-XR (you see an [err] instead of [ok] on XR display when file is checked during update).
Maybe they corrected it now.

Downloaded OS-Update for XR from site www.roland-musik.de.
Update works right.

If you have the same problems, have a look at the file size.
Update V2.02 Fantom-XR must have an uncompressed size of 11.706 MB

Hope that Roland will improve their version mangement in the future !!!
