Common Roland FANTOM 6 EX Questions
How do I connect the Fantom 6 EX to my computer and configure it to send and receive MIDI data in my DAW?
Connect the Fantom 6 EX to your computer via USB. Then, in your DAW's MIDI settings, select "Fantom 6EX" as both the MIDI input and output device, and make sure the Fantom's System settings MIDI mode is set to "Vendor".
I created a fantastic Tone and Scene, how do I save it so I can recall it later without losing my edits?
Press the [MENU] button, navigate to the "Save" section, and choose a location (USB drive or internal memory) to save your Scene. Name the Scene appropriately before saving, and be sure to save any individual Tones within the Scene as well for full recall.
What's the easiest way to create a simple drum pattern on the Fantom 6 EX?
Enter the Sequencer, select a blank Scene, then tap 'Record' and play your drums directly into the sequencer using the pads or keyboard, or load a preset drum kit and use the TR-REC style sequencer.
My Fantom 6 EX is not producing any sound, even though the display is on and I'm pressing keys. What should I check first?
First, ensure the master volume knob isn't set to minimum, and then check that the "Local Control" setting in the System menu is enabled to allow the internal sound engine to respond to the keyboard.
How do I take advantage of the Fantom 6 EX's Zen-Core sound engine to create layered and complex sounds?
The Fantom 6 EX utilizes Zen-Core's 'Model Expansion' feature, allowing you to load entire sound libraries based on classic Roland synths. Access Model Expansions within a Tone in the Edit menu to quickly create signature sounds.
