There is just something so easy going about this keyboard that I missed. I have a Fantom 6, Jupiter 80, Korg SV-1, Oberheim OB-X8… but I keep coming back to this one. I’m super glad I saved all my files, backups, softwar...

Final update: The tech did not register the new main board to my serial number or model of keyboard. He sent me a pdf of the pages from the service manual on how to do it myself. I'm able to load expansions and models no...

Thanks for your reply! The problem was not incorrect license, but the synth serial number was not registered in the main board so no license would work. But they fixed it quickly and returned the synth so now everything...

SO.... my backup failed So I'm starting over after losing songs, scenes and expansions I go to load expansions today, I’ve downloaded new ones from Roland cloud, loaded to usb (newly formatted drive that has always worke...

UPDATE: So my fantom is repaired and I'll be picking it up today. It cost me a total of $67.50 in labor since Roland decided to pay for the part. It was the main board that failed, and for no reason that the repair tech...

I purchased mine from Musician’s Friend Sept 2019. There was not a 5 year warranty for registering. They claim it was only 1 year. Roland got with the repair tech and contacted me to let me know the most they can do is d...

So the repair center called Friday to tell me that the part for the main board, which he believes is the problem, is $1366 plus shipping, along with 1.5 hours of work at $65/hr. This is going to cost me dearly!! I'm so s...

Well, still no response from Roland at all about helping with this expensive (potentially) repair for a keyboard that is in practically new condition after only 3 years it shouldn’t be failing.

Ironically, I use my 35 years old DX7 as a reliable backup when synths fail 😄 Yup, directly above my Fantom is my D50, Alpha Juno 2, Ensoniq ESQ, Yamaha DX11, Yamaha DX7IID and Casio CZ-1000... all working just fine! ug...

Agreed! and hope that is what I hear today! I bought it as they announced it in 2019 and waited until stock hit Musician's Friend. Paid full price and never regretted it — heck, I was even just boasting about it the othe...
