Best SRX card w/Fantom X
23 Mar 2007, 13:15While I understand my question is subjective, which SRX card, if any, do you feel enhances the Fantom X best?
Fantom-S and Fantom-X

Re: Best SRX card w/Fantom X
23 Mar 2007, 14:25To reply to your question it's important first to know what style of music you plan on doing?
I only have 3 different SRX boards. (Symphonic Strings, Complete Orchestra, World Collection).
Complete Orchestra is a very good card for a wide variety of orchestral stuff but it's strings aren't quite as good and don't offer up the same variety as Symphonic Strings do. The World Collection is a great board and is nice to havev for different sounds as well as some of it's nice acoustic guitars.
They each have different strengths that I wanted all three of them. If you're into dance, techno I have heard on here that The Supreme Dance is perhaps better than the Platinum Trax.
So there's no real way to say which cards enhances the Fantom best.
You can have a listen to some samples of the SRX boards here: http://www.rolandus.com/Multimedia/Flash/srx/index.html

23 Mar 2007, 16:53If you want to do symphonic stuff, SRX-06 will blow your mind. I'm sure visionaire is right that the dedicated string board is better for strings, but SRX-06 has amazing strings too. Check out the samples visionaire posted, and If you want to hear more of the SRX-06 strings, check out my song "Almost Home" (link below) everything on that but the piano is SRX-06. Good luck.

Re: Best SRX card w/Fantom X
24 Mar 2007, 07:43I quite like the SRX-06 strings but if the SRX-04 card has even better strings then I think I'll get shopping right now! 
I have SRX-06 and SRX-09, both have tons of useful and rich sounds on them.

24 Mar 2007, 08:41Hi, Depends on your style of music. That said...
SRX 01 Drum...you will get a little overlap with other cards. People say you can build your own great drum sounds. Ahh you can but these sound terrific and I am about to buy it any day now.
I own....
SRX-07 Ultimate Keys...you get a great variety here especially basses.
SRX-05 Supreme Dance...lots of wave forms. I say a must have.
World and Orchestra are the other two I have. At first I was crazy about these but I notice I don't use them much. One of these will come out when I get the drum card. However I am not getting rid of any.
I think the CLassic EP sounds great and I wish some of those clavies were on the Ultimate keys.
I do reggae, dnb, and dance music so there you have it.
cheers

Re: Best SRX card w/Fantom X
24 Mar 2007, 12:01I have about 15 strings patches loaded in my fantom S from the Ultimate Strings Collection CD. They're pretty good for the price. They also cover pretty much the common sounds I'd need.
As for other sounds, I'd like to get the World Card when i get some money.

If at first you dont succeed, then skydiving is definitively not for you.

Re: Best SRX card w/Fantom X
24 Mar 2007, 16:46First off let me say thank you to everyone for responding to this thread. I can completely see how the type of music you play would dictate what cards would be most useful. I also think that many of you have purchased cards according to your needs. Many of you seem to use the SRX 4 strings and 9 world exp. I was thinking about strings already but you've got me thinking about 6,the orchestra card. I have wide variety of musical aspects I work with as the business side of things for me creates a wide spectrum of musical uses. I guess in many ways your comments got me thinking that I should get to know the Fantom X8 and then ask more specific questions. You have all given me alot to consider and I appreciate that.
Re: Best SRX card w/Fantom X
24 Mar 2007, 17:28I've got four of them and I find them all invaluable:
Complete Orchestra
World Collection
Ultimate Keys
Complete Piano
I use the Orchestra and Ultimate Keys the most when I'm looking for unique sounds. I do use one of the pianos off of the SRX-11 card as my primary piano. World Collection I use the least but when I need something it offers, there is no substitute since those type instruments are few and far between in the factory presets.

I know you said you're not getting rid of any of your SRX cards ... but perhaps you would reconsider and make some kind of trade for SRX-01? I just don't use it ... I'd be interested in your world card.

24 Mar 2007, 21:25Hi Diametro...sorry but I am not selling the cards I have or trading them. I just want to collect more of them. I got all my cards for good deals(under or at $200) and it took a while to find those deals so I would be silly to get rid of them.

I have the SRX 06 and 09. I had no idea that these were the same ones that everyone else had. I would also like to get the vintage keys and classic ep's... Maybe if I got these, I would have something different. Do I need the 04 for good bass strings?

25 Mar 2007, 21:37Diametro,
I've seen alot of the SRX 1, drum cards on Ebay. Many of the ones on auction have sold well below $200. It might be worth checking it out if you really want one.
