Hello,

Do you know if there are plans to release a Fantom G tutorial DVD? I know there are companies who makes them for a lot of workstations.

I guess there are plans to do a tutorial DVD right after "Fantom Grave Experience" has been updated. So it can't be many years... ;-)

Actually - you're mistaken. The promised (and the arrival of which is anticipated like it's the Second Coming) NAMM demo IS the tutorial. And it's going to be posted on the website ... soon.

Hey, it's David Wills! Speak of the devil and he appears.

I just reviewed your video in another thread here - see http://forums.rolandclan.info/?action=show_thread&thread=27250&fid=8&page=1.

Nice one. I found it very helpful, just like the Tascam 2488 tutorial of yours I watched a couple of years ago.

Out of curiosity, though, where are you from? Your accent had me wondering.
