Hi @Iain Bryden - I just wanted to post here and thank you for posting this video tutorial. I've gone back to using my X8 lately and really needed a refresher. This is infinitely better than reading thru my printed manual... I really really appreciate you've posted this tutorial online and linked all the important parts of the video w/in the 'info' section. For the foreseeable future, you are my current hero. You've made my life happier and easier. I wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors.
Hola. muchas gracias por el tutorial lo he estado revisando de apoco y hoy lo termine jajajaj me compre hace un rato un este Fanton X6 y supera mucho mas de lo imaginado apesar que esta descontinuado es excelente equipo saludos desde Santiago de chile
This is the best Roland Tutorial by far, thx. I've had this board since 2005 Do you still use it? Back then there weren't any videos beyond useless demo videos and you have to be an engineer for the manuals to be useful.
Hi, I have the Fantom X8, I wanted to connect it to my macbook pro but none of the downloadable usb drivers work, I guess that my macbook is too new, I love this keyboard, got it second hand and have been using it as a piano only for almost 20 years, I just never had the time to even try to use the other features, thank you for the tutorial!
I got the Fantom XA and a mc909, XA is closer to the mc909 as tge x6 has that cool usb audio recording update, however the XA lacks the digital i/o of the X6 and MC909. Cheers
Hi @Ian Bryden - thanks for this Great video, I’m still a bit confused.. I own a Fantom X8, it has the last firmware on it (2.10) the X8 has been gigged for the last 13 years, I’m due to buy another X8 next week, the new one is mint condition, my current X8 has 512k Ram installed and 4 x Expansion boards fitted, how do I clone my existing X8 onto my new one so it basically becomes my old X8? The new one has no extra ram installed, so I’d take the Ram out of my existing one and the 4 expansion boards out and put it into the new one? i have a CF card in the back of my current X8, I don’t want to lose any of my created sounds or settings
The markers in the description don’t link to the times in the videos on all platforms. I haven’t been able to find a way to make the markers link properly. If anyone has a solution please let me know.
Is there a difference between the mixer mode and the layer/split? I mean I know there are set patches for the split but I usually make songs through the mixer mode and it looks different from the “song edit” page. I’m kind of ignorant when it comes to terminology lol but is it possible to access the song edit page when using the mixer mode or are they two different sections?
I wish someone would do a video to show Fantom X user ms how to update their keyboard’s firmware. There are two different sets of instructions online and it’s very confusing. To see it visually from someone who knows how to do it would be helpful.
bad manual talking talking ,say nothing ! May you show for example play Straus bleu Daniube, withot midi file or loops etc, only with keyboard.May you show it ? Or Brass orchestra Swing the mood ?

Austin Himes - So glad it is as useful to you as it was to me. Enjoy! Hopefully it will stay put.

The X6 is basicaly an MC-909 with a keyboard ?
I got the Fantom XA and a mc909, XA is closer to the mc909 as tge x6 has that cool usb audio recording update, however the XA lacks the digital i/o of the X6 and MC909.
Cheers
@@andrewverran3498 : there is no more cool usb update, Roland doesnt have it anymore, I tried several ways, only ebay and reverb left.
You ROCK!!! Thank you.
Being looking for this
Thanks for the upload
Hi Iain, thank you for this. Please can you do a video showing how to use Fantom X with a DAW, both as MIDI CONTROLLER and as "MIDI" Instrument.
i'm trying to see how to connect the Fantom X with my Mac to use it as a Midi. Not sure how to do this. Any idea how to do so?

Thanks for the upload! you are the man
Thanks a million! Your explanation of patch editing was really helpful.
Can this play wav files like an Audio track like the new KORG Kross or just samples? Thanks
all I wanted to know was if there an output on the Roland phantom 8 that will plug in to a tascam 32 SD recording system
Saw someone selling an X6 online and wondering if I should pull the trigger.
Go for it

Just a quick question guys: i need to choose between Korg PA2X Pro and Roland Fantom X8. Point me to the best one please.
Alguien podria traducir este video en español por favor
Hello! Do you have the vídeo for Fantom-s?
Best keyboard ever made kills the New fantom and the fantom G
Pretty sure that the 4 TONES that make up a patch is only "1" polyphony used.
