Roland FANTOM - How to install 3.0 Update 

Bravo Ed! Your videos are always the best! Thank you for this!

👏 appreciate it Roland time signatures makes a big difference Keep them updates coming

Thanks, Ed! Always very clear instructions.

Thanks so much for this walk through. I feel like I forget how to do it every time. Also you answered my question about skipping a version in the update which was helpful. A nice update from Roland. Still waiting patiently for the ability to handle mixed meter.

Nice job, team! A great update indeed.

Always a pleasure seeing you Señor Diaz!! #TonesInTheZones #GiveItAWiggle

Hi Ed, It was amazing, thanks a lot. After 20 years break with playing music I am back now. When I have bought Roland Fantom 8 I needed a support to keep going(I was scared a bit 😁... ). Thanks to Roland and People like You I managed. Great job, keep it up, please. Thank you very much! Cezary

Perfect instructions. I'm a composer from the Czech Republic. The video commentary is perfect, easy to understand. I use automatic translation subtitles. Thank you.

Welcome back! Great video

Nice update. Took over two years for time signature feature to appear.

Thank you for new update, Roland is always best.

Thanks for sharing us..good luck for the next

Running update...... (End). nice. thanks for the walk through Ed!

Excellent explanation. Thanks for the support.

You’re the man Ed. Thanks for your help. This is Hector.

Thanks Ed. This really help me update my Fantom 06❤to 1.03

for as much as I am adept at playing, when it comes to this computer type stuff, I am woefully challenged, but you made it as clear as could be, and I just successfully updated the Fantom to 3.01.......thanks as always, Ed!!!

Amazing video my friend

Amazing video my friend!!!

Great video as usual. I ordered my FA7 yesterday and can't wait for it to arrive. How often does Rolan releases these free updates?

Your super awesome Ed,

Thank you 😊

Gracias por tus videos. Son muy útiles

thanks. Hoping for some n/zyme tutorials soon

Thanks 😊👍

Roland is so awesome for this! I can start selling some other synths!

Excellent instructions, but I had a mishap (my fault). The power button was accidentally hit while doing the 2nd part of the update (don't ask), resulting in the Fantom not powering down afterwards even though the power button was off. I unplugged/replugged it back in, then redid the update from the beginning, and am happy to report that all is well. Whew! I would have tried "factory reset" if that didn't work.

Bro i need to increase the loops tempo speed and slow it down , how to do that

Thank for making a very understandable Video for us Ed :) Thank You again George Amodei

Hi! Update performed successfully, but the new mfx are not showing… was looking forward to trying the phonograph one in particular, anyone else had this issue? Thanks!

Hey quick question I notice on my Fantom that some scenes have usb midi out and some don’t why is that. Is that how suppose to work or is that an error? For eg. When the fantom just turn, on the first scene it doesn’t send midi via usb but the scenes with patterns or songs sends out midi via usb to my DAW

OMG! I was starting to update to 3,01 with a San Disk Thumb Drive for 2 hrs. ... brought out my NEW LEXAR Thumb Drive ( Formmated It! ) AND NOW I was ABLE to to Update to 3.01 ( i'm sharing a Switched Receptacle) that's the same Power ( all my Studio Hardware runs through a FURMAN POWER CONDITIONER. Still wondering why the happened?

Best indtructor🎉

Did this update change anything with Tr-rec (dim red lights always on)?

Boa tarde Muito obrigado pelo seu vídeo, a forma de atualizar o Fanto 0 é da mesma forma? Obrigado Cumprimentos

Hi ! Congratulations for the post! I followed the steps to install the expansions on my Fantom-0, but I'm getting the following error message: "Incorrect file!". I have my equipment registered on Roland's website, this could be a problem in generating the expansion files, from what I've heard. However, I don't think this is the problem. Please could you help me? Thank you !

Updated !

When is the next update? Would love to see DAW control with FL Studio! :)

Is this the same procedure for the 3.0 update for the Jupiter X?

Hi Ed . I just got my fantom 6 and try to update 3.01 today. But the update keep running didn't moved forward just stay there i tried very things very careful but still no luck. I already changed 3 USB drive.. I checked the currently on the new famtom version just 1.0 wow been long time ahh.. Maybe have to return to guitar center today feel bad....

Please show me how to save/store sound to the user bank…?

My instrument's memory USB isn't recognizing the thumb drive. It does see the thumb in ext but there is no file. Any thoughts ?

Ok the Fantom 6 and the Fantom 06 have different system updates. The 6 has 3.01 but the 06 has a system update of 1.02. Didn't know that

Please upload what is new in fantom06 update 1.02

Updated Ed ;).Thank you and continue to support especially, recording automation ( rec should be record all the knob movements such as cut off or resonance) it can be on mc-707. Because for long bars such as 16 bar. It is too difficult to draw effects with touchscreen. I expect copy entire row & at least 16 row improvement on sequencer. These are in mc-707 why we are waiting so much for fantom ? ☺️. Please Roland please :)

how do i delete the backing tracks off the pad i deleted 16 mp3 track and it saying internal memory is full please need help

Qualcuno per favore mi sa dire se è necessario prima dell’ ultimo aggiornamento 3.02 della Fantom bisogna fare anche quelli precedenti? Grazie per la risposta

I formatted the usb, Turned off the power held down write then turned power on and I do not get the "Preparing to update" page. I just get the insert usb page. But I get the usb insert page even if I don't insert a usb. Wonder what I did wrong

Done this on the Fantom 0 but it will not restart. The only thing is see is Fantom 06 07 07.

I'm trying to update my Fantom from 1.0 but it's not seeing the thumb drive. I just bought the keyboard a month ago. it's the 06 is there a different way to update. It keeps saying insert usb drive when the usb drive is inserted. Can you help

what happens if I install this on my Fantom0 ?????

I did exactly same thing as the video said, but still problems found me. the update stopped at board2 (time is 7:33 in video) and nothing happened for next 30mins. I got nothing to do but reboot to check what's going on, finding out screen says "programs version error."

Can I use this in my Fantom X6? Or is this a Separate Keyboard?

This didn't work for me, the piano doesn't seem to be reading the thumb drive, and yes I did all the other steps, but when I press write and then the power button, it takes me to a section that says insert your USB drive board 1 and board 2

upon second stage of updating it gave an error message. Board 2 Error !!! (1). Any idea what could cause it?

I've followed the instructions EXACTLY. . when i turn on my FANTOM 06 and hold write i do not get promped for an update. . . it just stays at Insert memory to usb port 1. . .

Steps were left out. See instructions in download section.

I have a question : can you use a monitor with the Fantom ?

It fails for me on the second stage. It works for the first part of the update, but when it's time to switch the USB drive to the other USB port, it just doesn't do anything. I've tried with different drives, all formated in the Fantom. I'm on 2.11 and I don't know what else to do to make it work.

Hello Ed, I am stuck at insert memory to usb (board 1) prompt. I have done all the steps, tried two (if not three) different perfectly fine thumb drives. Still, the same spinning forward slash followed by the non-flashing text cursor Help of you can please…not a newbie by any stretch

Can this update be use for the roland fantom 08 as well

Does this update have time stretch

Which Fantom? 08 latest is 1.04 not 3 plus

Wavetables must have 16 steps as the korg wavestation. 4 is very poor..

Is the model expansion costs $149? No free download?

Pro Tip: Reset your date and time BEFORE you take a backup! This way, when you're trying to figure out what backups are what, your timestamps are at least close to reality. Go into System, go all the way to the bottom, and put in the current date and time. Then don't forget to "Write" it, so that your backup will be properly timestamped! And this is the biggest oversight for this keyboard. Why doesn't it just have a damned clock chip in it with a 2032 watch battery for keeping the clock going when the keyboard is not plugged in to AC power? For crying out loud, it's 2022 and this is really a computer, no matter what anybody says. It's high time it had a working date/timestamp clock inside. I still have to set date and time every time I want to save something with this keyboard. If I don't, then every single change, every export, every backup would be dated 2021-03-15 at 00:00! Bring it, Roland. You could even call it Roland Fantom: Tempus Fugit Edition, right?
