fantom x - xp / vista 64 bit driver ?

answer is: NO

I am having the same problem

So, my advice is:
Send some emails to Roland, ask for the 64bit drivers.

The only way to use your Fantom in Vista64 is by using a Vista64bit compatible "USB -> Midi" device, like the EDIROL UA-1EX...

Vista 64 bit is available but NOT xp 64-bit. I have already sent them email. They said people in Japan must make that. Maybe we should contact the folk in japan directly!

by the way, that Erirul UA-1Ex is very expensive! Thanks for sharing though:)

Hey, the Vista 64bit driver is there!!!!
Thanks Roland!

Glad it is here where exactly does on go to get it?

EXPLANATION:
I am completely new to all of this and learning, I did just get a new computer which is Vista 64 bit and I have a Roland Fantom X8 that has been sitting covered up for over two years since I bought it.

I am hopeing to set up a home recording ability to record my husband's guitar and singing, with some accompanyment from the X8. So at the moment I am both trying to learn about audio/midi recording, mixing etc. and trying to learn what additional hardware and software I might need and what will work with what.

So since i have the Vista computer and the X8 I need to be sure they are compatible.

@McCall
The X8 and Vista 64bit should be compatible (now) since there are 64bit drivers.

Download the driver from the roland site,

then install the drivers.
During the installation it will ask to connect your roland machine to the pc.
your roland machine should be connected to your pc with an USB cable, and ofcourse it needs to be switched on.
thats the story for midi connection via usb...

for recording audio you shoud put a audio cable between the 'line out' of your roland and the 'line in' of your pc. then use some software ('audacity' for example) to record your music...
