Hi,
first of all: I've not bought my g7 to play smf...
but...
... in one of my projects i just have to play simple smf.
Until now I've used the G1000 - it sounds fantastic with standard-smf (GM/GM2).
Until today I've always thought no one's greater in conversation of gm/gm2 smf than roland keyboards.
Far from it!
After loading my normal smf to the g7 (that was an aventure itself ;-) i was shocked what's left from them:
- no sound
- no groove
- funny drums
incomprehensible for a roland keyboard like the fantom g.

I'm very disappointed, but I hope the problem is me ;-)

Who can support me (and/or the g7) doing this workstation side job!

... otherwise a very exciting instrument.

The problem is not you i had the same problem.
fine, I'm not the problem ;-)

But if I'm not alone with that "feature" - is there any solution?
Has anyone asked Roland before?
Did anyone solve that G6/7/8 GM/GS-Sound-disaster?

Not to be a smart a$$- but did you read the manual?

When playing SMF data, we recommend that you put the
sound generator in
Studio mode
. The Fantom-G is GM/GM2
compatible, so if the music data is compatible with GM/GM2, it
will automatically play back with the appropriate sounds.

Not sure if there is a bug- but the manual does clearly explaing playing GM filess
