I second that motion! I have yet to dwelve in the depths of Fantom programming, but man, if you figured this one out, you deserve to be rewarded. Thank you for all your time and effort, you will be blessed.

Warmest regards,

Thanks to Lazeeboy one more time!

I can confirm that the solution included in Lazeeboy's tutorial works on my Fantom S. I've prepared Sysex messages on Fantom and have used them in Song file to turn on/off parts by hitting pads. But I can't understand where I should change 00 on 01 to achieve that RPS status ON. Where is the 00097 byte? Does it have to be change in every string on every part or another sysex message on the beginning of the song?
If anybody could help me ....

The magic byte is in the song file. Activating RPS on song load requires the folowing steps:

- Save the song
- Copy the SQV file to your PC
- Change byte 97 of the SQV file from 00 to 01. You can do this with any hex editor available for your computer. If your computer is a Windows PC, you might consider using Lazeeboys batch file, since it can convert multiple SQV's in one go (see elsewhere in this thread).
- Copy the SQV back to your Fantom
- Select the song and admire the orange glow behind the RPS button

Because there is no way to save this RPS ON status directly into song files at the moment, the above steps are required after every change you make to the song on your Fantom!

Don Philippo,

Thank you for your post. So there is no way to turn that RPS status ON without using a computer! Now it's bad information for me.

That is correct! Maybe in the future this bug will be fixed but don't count on it.

Would this string work for the RPS on the MC909? Currently, User RPS on the 909 won't save. I've tried everything.

Re: RPS Status accidentally DID save!!

It just might ... if the format's the same (I don't have an MC909). Just try it on one of your svq's. Make a backup of the song first and run the batch file.

Hi Laurenz,
have you made a new template file with the RPS button on?
regards

Re: RPS Status accidentally DID save!!

20 Mar 2006, 16:02

No, because the next time you save it the status is lost again. And as the template is meant to be saved again I really didn't see the point.

Hi Laurenz,
I have read all this thread. Please, confirm to me if these informations are up-to-date?
1- There´s no template file with the RPS button on?
2- The only way to convert the svq files with the RPS button on is using the batch file in the computer?
regards

Re: RPS Status accidentally DID save!!

21 May 2006, 05:18

That's correct. I'd love to post a Template.svq with RPS ON, but as I already told you, as soon as you save an SVQ using your Fantom the RPS status is lost; the template is no exception to this. This is a bug in the Fantoms Firmware. The workaround is using the batchfile posted here. In my experience when a song based on TEMPLATE.SVQ has been made I rarely change anything so it's actually a good workaround for static SVQ's.

BTW, just to let everyone know, lazebooy did receive a reward in form of both Planet V and Planet F, which he well deserved

Re: RPS Status accidentally DID save!!

21 May 2006, 07:31

Which was much appreciated! Freebee heaven man! It's like an endorsement from the Roland clan!

Not to look a given horse in the mouth but I actually purchased Planet F in September because I knew just how good it would be, so the horse was already mine so to speak

Now if jcthemc holds up his end the bargain ...

Tempo changes saved

3 Jun 2006, 06:03

Hi there..
Maybe i have to get into RPS too, all my user/card performances are being used due too all kinds of keyplayers asking me to show up for their band..

but about the tempo.. When i create songs the tempo is always saved, never a problem...
I create the tempo before the song starts, so at measure -1 (rec, change tempo, ready). When you then load the song, tempo is automatically loaded too.. Handy for arps and delays etc...
