What happens during Factory reset?

28 Feb 2010, 20:53

I am about to install the new update 1.31.

However, I see that it is recommended to do the factory reset procedure first.

Will this in any way affect any of the downloads I have done? F.ex. I have downloaded some of the free Sinevibe stuff.

I understand a factory reset to be like a turning back to the same condition the Fantom G was in when I bought it, and if this means that the Sinevibe sounds will disappear I dont think I will do the reset.

But hopefully they will not?

When I upgraded to 1.30 and did a factory reset, nothing happened to the 1.30. It just returned everything to the original conditions. If you want to keep files you created you will need to save them on a USB.

OK, so I assume the new sounds will not disappear then. However I would like to have this confirmed by someone who knows for sure.

What new features are there in the 1.31 upgrade?

Unless you save the internal project named FantomG.prj before you do a Factory Reset, you will lose the project. I installed 1.31 & after I tried a Factory Reset to get back the original Factory setups (512 Live & 512 patches), but instead I have the latest OS version which comes w/ some 1178 patches but NO Live setups! I am trying to find a way to get the original Factory Reset to get me back to where I was when I bought the Fantom G, as I would like to pick & choose what I replace from the original Live presets, but it is not posted on the Roland Fantom G site. I may have to reinstall a 1.2 OS to try to get back to where I once belonged!
