Common Roland FANTOM-08 Questions
How do I set up my FANTOM-08 to send MIDI data to my DAW and control external MIDI devices simultaneously?
In the System settings (Menu > System > MIDI), ensure "MIDI Out Mode" is set to "Merge." This allows the FANTOM-08 to transmit both its internal performance data and any incoming MIDI data from your DAW to connected external devices.
I created a custom drum kit with unique samples and effects, but how do I save it so I can use it in other projects?
Navigate to the "Edit" screen for your drum kit, then press the "Menu" button. Select "Write" to save your customized kit as a Tone, which can then be recalled in any Scene or Zone.
What's the fastest way to find and load a specific piano sound from the FANTOM-08's extensive library?
Use the Category/Sound Browser buttons to filter sounds by instrument type, or use the touchscreen to quickly navigate through the available categories and audition sounds in real-time. You can also create favorites to quickly recall frequently used sounds.
My FANTOM-08's touchscreen isn't responding correctly or is frozen. What can I do?
Try performing a power cycle by turning the FANTOM-08 off, waiting a few seconds, and then turning it back on. If the problem persists, try restoring the unit to factory settings via the System menu.
How do I use the FANTOM-08's Analog Filter section to create dynamic filter sweeps and effects during a live performance?
Assign the knobs in the Analog Filter section to specific parameters (like Cutoff, Resonance, or Drive) and use them in real-time to manipulate the sound of the currently selected Tone or Scene for expressive effects and transitions.
