My G8 just arrived today.

First keyboard I've purchase and I'm a complete newbie.


Sounds fantastic so far.




Got a lot of reading up to do.

If possible, it would be really interesting seeing an in-depth video demo of the ARX cards!

The Roland videos barely scratch the surface of what can be done.

since I'm a newbie with synths and G8 as well, though I'd better post it here.

so I'm waiting for my G8 to arrive these days, I also have another synth but only 2 active monitors.

I know that I can connect my other synth to the G8 via audio and hear it it while in sequencer mode, but in the other modes will I hear it, or do I have to connect it to a separate set of monitors, or have them both connected to a mixer

Basically, my question is if I have these two synths do I definitely need a mixer or not

thanks guys and congrats for all the valuable stuff you are putting in this forum

marcosabiu are ARX drums much better than those inside FG ?

Yes , the ARX drums are way better than the FG ,fatter,more dynamics
customizable,each single piece of the kit can be EQed , compressed,panned.
there are some electronic kits as well , useful with dance music.
Overall it sounds very real .

Hope this answer your question .

If you want to hear both synths together at the same time then yes, a Mixer will be necessary.

I use a Behringer Eurorack Pro 16-channel line mixer to route all my synths and mic preamps to the Fantom's line inputs. It's great for synths because it has eight stereo pairs (L/R) of balanced TRS inputs. Plus, it's only $109 and it works great.
