Setting Up Your Computer for the Fantom-G

Installing the Fantom-G Software on Your Computer

The Fantom-G works with the following computer operating (OS) systems:

Windows XP™ • • Windows Vista™ (32- and 64-bit)

Windows 7™ (32- and 64-bit) • • Mac OS X™ (10.3.9 and higher)

In this booklet we’ll describe the Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, and

Mac OS X installation of the Fantom-G’s USB MIDI driver and Editor/Librarian

software.

When you connect the Fantom-G to your computer via USB, you’ll

typically get the best results using USB jacks on the back of a desktop

computer or on the side of a laptop. We recommend not using a hub.

Though the Fantom-G’s software can be found on the CD-ROM that shipped

with your Fantom-G, we’re always improving and enhancing the software for

our products. The best way to ensure you have the latest Fantom-G software

is to download it from the RolandUS.com website. You can click here to jump

to the correct page—the software you’ll find works for the Fantom G6, G7,

and G8. Be sure to select the correct download for your operating system.

Windows XP

Installing the Fantom-G Driver Software

Power up your PC with all USB cables disconnected except for your 1

keyboard and mouse. If any applications are running, quit them.

Expand the downloaded installer file.

Open the XP Drivers folder, double-click the XP folder, and then 3

double-click the Setup.exe file inside.

If you see a warning that the software’s publisher can’t be verified,

click RUN to proceed.

The Driver Setup window appears:

If an “Install Program as Other User” dialog appears, quit the installer,

and then log in as the system administrator before re-launching the

Setup application from Step 3.

5 Click Next to display the installation start window:

If you see the Software Installation window instead of

the one shown above, click Continue Anyway. If you can’t

continue, see “About Driver Signing Options” later in this

booklet. (You can click this button to jump there now.)

Click Next—the driver is installed and instructions appear telling you 6

what to do next.
