I'm using a vintage midiman midisport 2x2, downloaded the latest driver (which is win8 and not 8.1.) to connect my external keyboards to play the soft synths, record.etc. I had a similar problem when I upgraded my xp machine to a new win8.1 machine. If it doesn't then maybe the collective mind can think of another solution.

I'd suggest having another try at downloading the drivers and see if that helps. The documentation included with the drivers says you may need to boot Windows before switching on the Fantom or Windows might not pick it up. The URL I used for the download is I'm not familiar with the X6 but according to the specs it should show up as USB memory for file transfer plus the USB should handle MIDI as well. It looks like something went wrong with your download somewhere.

I just tried downloading the Fantom X Windows drivers from Roland's website and I received a zip file containing 32 and 64 bit drivers plus documentation. As are my RME UFX and MOTU microlite, and the built-in USB to MIDI interfaces in four different fairly inexpensive synths work fine as well. The MIDI interface in my Cakewalk UA-101 interface is fine with Win 8.1. Attempting to use the thing with Win8 was a disaster, though some people claim to have got them working by using the M-Audio driver written for pre-service pack 1 Windows 7. I gave up on M-Audio back when I used Win7 after their 2x2 MIDISport's terrible SYSEX handling thoroughly scrambled the patch memory in my Mopho. It's not Microsoft's fault that M-Audio can't be bothered to update their drivers for new Windows releases (or sometimes not bother to write drivers that work properly in the first place). Windows 8.1 works very well indeed with many different audio and MIDI interfaces. I officially hate Windows 8.1, A Total Nightmare with any interface I tried downloading the drivers for the fantom X but when I opened the download it said The File Does not exist.

If this is possible can you send me a link to show me how to do it. I've never heard of recording without an interface. There is no option to interface with MIDI. Have you tried the tutorials that came with Sonar? Bob BoneĬarlcasso Hi Greg, The only USB option I get on the Fantom X6 is file storage. Lastly, there are some REALLY good books out there that have really good walk-through info for just about everything a given Sonar release has for features. There are ZILLIONS of free videos on YouTube, CakeTV, etc, and there are also a bunch of commercially-produced videos. I think you would do yourself a BIG favor and cut out a lot of frustration, by looking for and watching introductory videos on getting external keyboards connected and routed to Sonar. As far as the SOUND goes, your keyboard will have audio outputs that you can route to either an external mixer and then have the mixer connected to speakers, OR you can feed the audio outputs from the keyboard into Inputs on an audio interface, which is connected to the computer, and with the correct drivers loaded into Windows for that particular audio interface model, you can then route those inputs from the audio interface to audio tracks in Sonar, then with Input Echo turned on, you would be able to hear your keyboard's audio sound from within Sonar.

There may be drivers needed for the keyboard to properly work with the USB connection, so check the manufacturer of the keyboard's site for the drivers for your version of Windows, and install them. Modern keyboards use a USB connection to communicate information (but not sound) back and forth with your computer.
