Best SRX card w/Fantom X

I have one that I don't use and I'm wondering what to do with it.

Ideally, I'd like to liquidate and the proceeds go toward another SRX card.

How about trade it in for an Alesis MMT8?

Do you find the Complete piano cards primary sampled wav sounds significantly different from the factory piano on the Fantom x6/x8?
For some reason the srx-11 card has been discontimued by Roland.

Dynamic Drums (SRX1)
Supreme Dance (SRX5)
World (SRX9)
Brass (SRX10)

You can go wrong with these. The sounds are killer, top notch and compliment the X, S, or XV soundset very well. Being that I have an XV5080, I also have the SRJV02 (Orchestral), SRJV12 (Hip-Hop), SRJV98 (Experience I) and SRJV 10 (Bass & Drums). This covers the Complete Orchestra (SRX6) and Platinum Tracks (SRX8).

It all depends on tke kind of music you're into, but Roland always outdoes themselves with their cards.

I have been listening to the comments here as well as listening to all the demos I could find. I decided to two boards that would serve me best immediately are the SRX 6 and 7. Since I have RA from East West, the SRX 9 wasn't something I needed. I may look at others down the road but these two fit the bill for me now. I am also looking at seriously purchasing a V synth and I'm working on a great deal if it comes through. I'm not rich and its important to know I'm selling other things to make this happen as I'm sure many of you understand.

I find it fascinating how many people have different cards yet they are happy with them and work well for them. I know alot of it relates to need and what type of music you make. In the end we all use them to make music and this is what's important.

The 4 srx in my X7 are: SRX6 Complete Orchestra, SRX7 Ultimate Keys, SRX9 World Collection and SRX10 Ultimate Brass.

My G70 has the SRX4 Ultimate Strings.

One of my XV-5080s has SRX1, 2 and 3

Haven't purchased the updated piano card because the X7 and G70v3 sound fine to me. The electric keyboard card would force something out of the X7 and the SRX5 and 8....can't see a need for them.

I have the Brass, Ultimate Keys, & Symphonic Strings. The ultimate keys has been great for rhodes, vintage synths, & trons. The other two have served well to help me make backing tracks for what my live band lacks: horns/strings. I've also used them in production of some of my originals.

I wish I had enough funds to get the Ultimate Piano, Classic EPs, World, and Orchestra. There are better and larger sound-sample libraries out there but I like having the sounds ready when you boot your keyboard. Rolands sounds are decent and easy to tweak.

The only reason I would upgrade my Juno-G to a Fantom-X is to have more SRX slots... To have only 1 is cruel.

Juno-G + SRX-07

In my Fantom-XR, I have the SRX-03, 07 and 09. I think the next purchase will be the SRX-06. As a brass and woodwind player, I don't need the SRX-10.

My main interest in the three boards I already have is for a good acoustic guitar, and good electric and acoustic piano.

Matias,

I agree that it is cruel for Roland to have only put in ONE SRX expansion bay for the Juno G and Fantom Xa.

I realize that the above two models are cheaper than the X6, X7, and X8, and therefore must have some disadvantages, but why not at least Two slots instead of one?? They'd get more money with SRX sales at least but they might have got a lot of the other X6, X7, X8 users mad at them if the cheaper keyboards had near the same options as their much more expensive keyboards have.

If you can find one, this is also quite a nice little card. There is one electric piano on there that I really enjoy that would go well in many musical styles. Plenty of other sounds for electronica. Some good soundsets based on this card available at http://www.rolandsynth.net/.
