The system update version 2.5 adds a new Virtual Tone Wheel organ sound engine to the FANTOM 6/7/8 which allows for a realistic tone wheel organ sound and traditional drawbar control. You can download this update from our website: Roland - Support - FANTOM 6 - Updates & Drivers
Virtual ToneWheel Organ for Roland FANTOM Synthesizers (FANTOM 6, FANTOM 7, FANTOM 8)
Here are a few notes on this new option for the FANTOM:
- The VTW is available on Part 2 only.
- The Tone Remain function is disabled for the VTW.
- Both Preset and User banks are available for the VTW.
- The knobs under the screen (E1-E6) are pre-assigned to specific functions when using the VTW.
To access the Virtual Tone Wheel Organ, select part 2, press the ZONE VIEW button, and then set the TYPE to "VTW."
You can then press MENU and select "TONE EDIT" on the touchscreen to view the organ settings and adjust the drawbars.
You can also adjust the organ settings using Pitch Bend / Mod wheel, the Wheel #1 and Wheel #2 controls, and the part faders on the left side of the front panel as well as the Synth Control section on the right side of the front panel.
