Once done, click on Read to read the current Fantom X settings and it should work.ħ.) Thereafter, you should be able to start it without dismissing any other windows by following the steps in 5.) above. Download Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 latest free latest standalone offline bootable DMG image. wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Roland/Fantom-XEditor/ĥ.) First time it starts it may take a moment since the MIDI ports are not defined. The Yosemite 10.10.5 is the brilliant and a powerful Mac OS X update and improves the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac. Let it do that.ĥ.) Once the setup is finished, in that same Wine HQ terminal window do this:Ĭd. (Your mileage will vary above depending on where you unpacked it).Ĥ.) It will probably ask to download and install Gecko.

Download Wine Stable from the link below and install. Here are the modified instructions for Sierra / High Sierra.ġ.) Make sure you are using MIDI cables, not USB - the USB driver isn't working for me (it did under Yosemite but is not working under Sierra).
