Nxt Fantom Driver

[Sabel Kantah]

Ihave the Mindstorms NXT software and brick (CPU), and I worked with them a long time ago running NXT on a Windows XP. Now, I would like to retrieve the brick to teach my son, and I installed the NXT software on Windows 10. The application runs well, but it does not detect the brick. I have read that NXT software is not supported on Windows 10, but other sites tell that NXT works well on Windows 10.Could someone give me more details on how to install and run the NXT software on Windows 10?

But some of the driver installers for 64bit have an error in the install script, and need to be patched before they work. If your driver setup (Assuming you use the exe setup method) fails, the instructions to patch the driver can be found here:

Hi, hope someone can help me? Right, I have Cubase 10.5 pro, Fantom xr sound module, Apollo twin usb interface, Midi keyboard. How can I use, record get sound etc from this set up? Bare in mind, drivers for the sound module etc are not working with current cubase. Hope that makes sense lol. I just wana be able to hear sound from module, record midi & bounce audio file with sound from module.

Hey you,

I am wondering what you exactly tried - maybe with more detail we could still help.

I think you maybe dont need the Roland driver at all, because your audio is going from the sound module to the audio interface. Does sound reach cubase this way?

What you need is a midi connection from your computer to the sound module - which maybe works without the driver over usb anyways. Or the apollo has a midi out - then you could connect this with the roland sound module. The audio-path in your case would be via the apollo and so no fantom driver needed for this.

So: Is it clear what the problem actually is currently? No midi-connection? No audio? If the apollo has no midi connectors a cheap midi interface (class compliant, so no special driver needed) would do the job in case the midi connection directly to the fantom is not working because of the lacking driver support.

Thank you for sticking with me! Ok! I have got a midi usb cable now. Connected to the fantom IN, usb side connected to pc. A jack cable from fantom OUT to apollo interface. (Mic 2, line IN) cubase, added midi track with all midi inputs & output as (usb interface) Which is my usb cable connected to fantom. Added a audio track with (Mic 2 line IN) as input. Enable monitor etc. P.s audio signal sound Very bad. Nothing! Lol. If i hit keys on my nektar midi keyboard i can see activity on midi channel. What am i doing wrong?

Hi you,

ok - so your cubase midi track is receiving midi data from your nektar, right? And the midi output of this track is routed to the sound module (via your new usb midi). Have you enabled midi through in the cubase settings (program settings/midi) and did you enable the monitor button on the midi track?

Hi Elien, thanks for your replys checking rite now. Quick one, do you know the Apollo twin usb interface? Should i plug my line IN from fantom to front, which is a guitar line or at rear which is mic. I already of a mic plugged in at rear so one more free. Also if you can check the fantom. Just incase im pluging it in wrong. Thanks. P.s i cant post a video on here can i? Just find it hard sometimes to put things into words

P.s just tested the demo songs with headphones sound is there! Also can hear demo song via apollo, speakers to. Also i can hear demo on cubase audio channel inserted & record sound. So at the mo its playing keys, instruments i cant hear

Hi you,

I dont know the apollo interface, but it is obvious that your audio connections are ok. Otherwise you would not hear the demo songs. So there has to be something wrong with your midi connections. Yesterday you succeeded in sending midi from your keybaord to cubase. So the issue seems to be with the midi connection from your computer to the fantom module. As far as I understood you used your midi usb cable for sending the signal from your computer to the fantom. I assume there are TWO midi (DIN) connectors on this cable. Did you use the right one to plug into the fantom?

And: Dont forget to enable midi through in cubase (program settings) and enable monitoring (the little brownish button with the speaker icon).

I suggest that you create screenshots that show your midi connections in the studio setup window and a screenshot that shows your midi track (inspector open with the midi in and out visible).

You are absolutely close to a solution I think. Maybe you can also tell us what usb midi cable you use!

Had spinny-wheel probs with Imac, Apple support directed me to upgrade to Sierra: now my previously-working-fine Fantom X8 USB connection to the iMac (was using Maverix) won't work. Is there a fix or is it better to retreat and restore to the previous set up using Time Machine?

Not sure what happened? I just downloaded the 10.8 drivers and in my Downloads folder, found a folder called "FANTOMXUSBDriver" which contained the driver package. However, trying to run the installed prompted an alert explaining my Mac isn't compatible with that driver.

You are gracious to answer twice. Here's what I get: fanx2.bin.cpgz. I went to Roland's site, but they are not offering support for the Fantom X8. So, I'm not exactly sure how to contact Roland. OS 10.8 isn't Sierra...it's Mountain Lion. It looks like a restore to pre-Sierra status is going to be necessary. The hardware all worked beautifully 48 hours ago. I didn't have this problem upgrading along the advancing Mac OS previously.

When I first came across a deal for the Fantom Drives 500 GB Titanium II External USB 2.0 Hard Disk Drive, I almost passed it up. From the online photograph, it looked boring with no flair. It wasn't until I saw the back of the drive that I realized that it is the same enclosure as the AcomData E5 HybridDrive External Hard Drive enclosure that I reviewed and disassembled recently. Both enclosures probably came out of the same OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and branded distinctively for the different market sector. At that point, I just had to buy the Fantom drive.

Since this drive is physically identical to the AcomData E5 HybridDrive, I won't do a full review on this drive. You can refer to the AcomData E5 HybridDrive review article I wrote to get an idea about this drive. Instead, this article will concentrate on the similarity and difference between the Fantom drive and the AcomData drive.

There are two reasons why I HAVE to buy this drive. 1) The power supply adapter is the same and I can move the drives between two computers without dragging the interface cables around; 2) I want to figure out reuse the Acomdata E5 HybridDrive enclosure with other hard drives. Plus, I needed another 500 GB drive to satisfy my Photo Storage Solution.

When I first got this drive, I had thought that maybe I was wrong about the AcomData E5 HybridDrive being an aluminum enclosure. After all, the name of this Fantom drive has the word Titanium in it. But apparently Titanium is just a marketing name and the product isn't made out of titanium. The Fantom drive card board box identified the drive enclosure as "attractive, rugged aluminum enclosure".

Unlike the AcomData E5 HybridDrive, the Fantom Titanium external drive enclosure doesn't have the fancy hokey-pokey proprietary partition that separate the hard disk into a CD PART and a HD PART. It doesn't use any specialized security firmware that you have to bypass to access your data on the HD Part. So theoretically it's possible to swap out the internal 500 GB hard drive with another drive easily. Disassembling this drive should be a piece of cake based on the AcomData E5 HybridDrive External Hard Drive Disassembly article I wrote before.

After opening the package, I pulled out the two power supply and did a comparison. They are indeed the same in power specification. The only difference is that the AcomData E5 HybridDrive uses a ground three-prong power plug while the Fantom Titanium drive uses a two-prong non-polarized plug. I tried the AcomData power supply on the Fantom drive and it worked just fine. Like the AcomData drive, a bright blue LED on the front of the drive indicates that the drive is on. Windows XP found mass storage drive and installed the driver automatically.

From the factory, the hard disk is formatted to FAT32. You can format it to NTFS in Windows XP, but because it's larger than 32 GB, you won't be able to reformat it to FAT32. If you want to keep the FAT32 portability among operating systems, you'll have to erase the entire disk rather than formatting the disk in Windows XP.

I disassembled this Fantom Titanium drive much the same way as I disassembled the AcomData drive. Except the Fantom drive doesn't have a fancy silver cover on the back. That's just as fine, because after I taken apart the AcomData drive several times, I've bent the thin silver back cover.

Inside the enclosure is a Samsung HD501LG 500 GB, 7200 RPM, 16 MB cache hard drive. It's connected to a much simpler SATA to USB converter board than the one found in the Acomdata E5 HybridDrive enclosure.

When I turned the internal bracket over to remove the Samsung hard drive, I noticed that Fantom only used three hard drive screws to mount the drive. I don't know if it was an oversight during manufacturing or if they purposely used three screws rather than four. Makes me wonder about their manufacturing process.

I have a Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L300S0 300 GB SATA150 HDD that I used for this test. I plugged this drive into the Fantom Titanium enclosure, powered it on, and then plugged it into the computer. The hard drive (formatted to NTFS) mounted immediately on my Windows XP notebook computer. The data on it were quite intact.
