I recently thought about making music for online concerts from home. These could then be streamed on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok and other platforms. I had just started to put together and configure my equipment for this when another huge problem arose:
The central keyboard for everything I do is the Roland Fantom 8 - a €3500 workstation that has everything I need except for one thing. However, this one feature can be added with a software update, and that's exactly what I wanted to do today. I was guided by a video from a Roland employee on YouTube, which explains every step in detail, and I did everything exactly the same way.
However, when I tried to restart my Fantom after the update, only a white screen appeared. The whole device no longer starts.
I did some research on the Internet and found that several other Fantom owners had this problem. They all had to send their device back to Roland and pay over €1000 for the repair. This is basically an outrage for such an expensive device, just because Roland can't manage to programme a sensible installation routine. Now I'm once again faced with a problem and don't know what to do.
It almost feels like something is always happening to stop me from making music. Why does this always happen to me?
