XV drum patches for Fantom X ?
20 Jun 2008, 02:51Hello fellow Roland'ers, I am in the process of upgrading from XV3080 to a Fantom XR module. I am playing live using the module as backing band and I have a lot of XV tweaked Midi files to repatch for the XR.
My first disappointment was the total lack of a useful fretless bass. This problem was solved by the Roland "XV sounds for Fantom X" patch package that I have installed as USER patches. There are some great overdrive guitars too on the XV that the XR misses.
The next issue was the GM2 standard drum set on the XR, it sounds really bad (or at least very different) compared to the decent and usable XV GM set. The hihats are very lo-fi and the kick and toms are twice as loud as they should be.
I have the SRX-01 Dynamic Drums but some songs are made for the GM drum kit and sounds best with the GM set.
I wonder if someone has made the XV drum patches availabe for the Fantom X to be loaded as USER drums kits?
