It is out of their hand. The Japaneses guys have to make one for us:(

Here's what I received from them:

We have sent a request for 64 bit drivers to our corporate Roland/BOSS/Edirol headquarters in Japan.
Unfortunately, at this time, we do not have any information regarding when, or if, they plan to release them.

Note that no driver is required for USB storage mode; that is, you can transfer MIDI and audio files to and from your computer right now, even with Windows 7 64-bit. The only thing you'll be missing is the ability to send and receive MIDI data in real time through the USB cable. This behavior can be duplicated with any $30-40 MIDI interface that supports Windows XP 64-bit. The Fantom-X editor software and librarian can communicate with the Fantom through the MIDI interface in the exact same capacity as if it were connected directly via USB.

Thank you for the link, such news are very great.

Is it also working with Windows 7 (64-bit)? Anybody?

This doesn't work for me. I am working on WinXP 64-bit! I guess this only works on VISTA. It did not work on my XP machine:(

Excellent news!!!

Downloaded it and it works like a charm. Everything is so much faster.
Lower latency on my audio, Reason 4, Sonar 8 Pro. Wonderful.

Thanks everyone, and to those at Roland who made the effort, even if it
took so many months.

PS:
This is off the point, but just so you guys know, note that when using 64-bit, then you can't use Rewire since the Rewire Standard is not 64-bit compatible, then again, life is all
about give and take.

Rock on.
