How to put sounds(strings,piano) from computer to roland x6?

Yes you would use a USB cable to conect the computer to the X6. Yes you would store the sounds on a external card such as the one you noted from ebay. Format the card in the fantom. Then load the sounds from the computer into the import audio folder. Once loaded, use the load/save button to import the audo into the fantom sample memory and proper save locations to play them.

Thanks bro

it depends on the size of the samples you want to upload in the fantom

the fantom has a 32mb memory onboard on which you can load samples with the usb cable, but it is a small memory


i think you have to buy the 2nd one

you need 2 (3 if you consider the compact flash adapter) things:
a compact flash memory (to store samples permanently, when you switch off the power)
and ram memory (on which you have to load samples from the compact flash memory)

the fantom reads samples from ram, not directly from cf
so, every time you switch on the fantom, you have to reload samples from cf to ram (20mb per minute)


on ebay you can find better prices than that you have linked

thanks for the advice :D ettore

The RAM can actually be PC100 or PC133 as set out on page 245 of the manual. This is also in the FAQ and can be found here.

I use Translator to create a Fantom bank of my own samples to use on Fantom. It's not the best though but it can be a easy way to start a project.

You can also transfer programs you make from other samplers or softsamplers to fantom this way. Better than single wav imports though IMO.
