Members Natasha Shah Posted October 23, 2008 Members Share Posted October 23, 2008 Dear all, I'm a new user of the Roland Fantom G6. I've created my first favourites bank only to find out that: 1. I can't use the transpose function in this mode i.e when i transpose up or down 1 key and then change sounds the transpose goes back to zero ! 2. When I use the Roland EV5 foot pedal to control the sounds, ALL my patch volumes change instead of the master volume. I would highly appreciate if someone would kindly guide me... thank you. xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChristianRock Posted October 23, 2008 Members Share Posted October 23, 2008 Have you heard of the Roland Clan forum? They have a lot of information on the Fantom G over there... http://forums.rolandclan.info If you have the original OS that came on the Fantom G you will have a LOT of bugs including global changes, but I think a lot of that has been fixed with their newer OS release. You'll find update instructions there, too, in their FAQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Natasha Shah Posted October 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 Dear Christian, thank you for your fast reply. I didn't realise that the Fantom would ever have a bug ! Had i known, I'd have kept my Triton Extreme.... I've looked through roland clan, but am struggling to find out anyone with a similar problem.

Members born2die75 Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 just ask there are members from here like me over there. There are plenty of bugs in the G they are awaiting an upgrade at the moment to fix quite a list of them it seems that the G was rather rushed and half baked. This and finances is why I went for the X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Natasha Shah Posted October 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 OH DAMN...Thanks for your reply born2die. Is the sampling from a wav file as easy on the X6 as it is on the G6? I should sell mine. Anyhow, do you know whether the Os update 1.10 for my G6 from the rolandclan forum is trustworthy?

Members ChristianRock Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 I'd say Rolandclan is very trustworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Natasha Shah Posted October 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 i just updated the OS to 1.10 and the transpose function is still an issue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChristianRock Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 If you ask around in RolandClan and nobody else is having the issue, you probably have a faulty unit. Maybe something similar to what Jordan Ruddess had, when his keyboard transposed to a different key and there's nothing he could do to get it back.

Members born2die75 Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 no probs was sampling on the x is a simple as attaching the usb cable dragging and dropping to either the internal memory and card then editing or creating a multisample I have never tried the g Diametro is a whizz with the fantoms so I will leave it to his and others better knowledge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Diametro Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 Tasha was/is a Fantom-G owner who raised a big commotion and finally got banned at Roland Clan ... Came back as "Understanding ... " Something of a mini-legend over there ... Lots of complaints against Fantom-G ... many of which began to be echoed by other "less volatile" members ... eventually made a YouTube video railing against Clan founder Artemio ... (The pic is from Tasha's video ... ) ... Basically a case of it's not what you say but how you say it ... ............. I second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mrcpro Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 I don't own a G but with my experience with other Fantoms if you go into System and set master key shift there it should hold through anything you do. The G does patch remain a little differently though. You might have to turn that on. Roland Clan has one of the snarliest moderators in forumdum but it's all we've got. There are helpful members over there though who may be able to give you further assistance. Diametro, do you have a link to that Youtube video? That oughta be good for a chuckle this afternoon....

Members Diametro Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 I think it's been taken down ... Tasha said he was going to, and the last time I looked for it, I found it instantly ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Natasha Shah Posted October 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 thanks to branko at rolandclan for this: Try this. 1.Menu 2.System 3.Switch S1/S2 4.set up: Switch S1 Assign MASTER KEY DOWN Switch S2 Assign MASTER KEY UP 5.F7 Sys Write Now you can transpose-it with S1,S2 keys in the favorite mode.And there will be no changes when you change live sets from FAVORITE mode.

Members espo Posted August 27, 2019 Members Share Posted August 27, 2019 Can anyone tell me how to insert a blank bar at the front of a midi sequence on the Phantom G6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members samespo Posted November 2, 2021 Members Share Posted November 2, 2021 I have experienced problems recording audio tracks on my Fantom G6. I record and audio track and then write (save) the finished song. When I turn off my G6 for the night and come the next day, I turn the G6 on and when I load the song I had saved from the day before, the audio track I recorded is damaged and has cracks in it. I thought I had been saving correctly but now I am not sure because this problem prevents me from recording any audio tracks onto my songs or sequences.
