Fantom questions..

5 Sep 2019, 15:40

Hi. I've been watching the demo videos and am loving what I've seen so far. The spec looks amazing.. Very nice looking board as well.
Just wondering about sampling... Can samples be allocated to the keyboard?
Also, strange question, but how long does it take to startup?

That'll do for now.. :-)

They are 1 shot or looped samples that could be mapped to the keyboard. The sampler is not intended for playable instruments across the keyboard things such as choirs & pianos.

Does anyone know if the Scenes can be recalled in an alphabetic fashion? It looks like it has the saving schema of the FA-series, which puts everything in numerical order when recalling saved songs or patches. I really hope there is a way to sort through them alphabetically.

Also, I haven't seen much in the way of set list/live modes. I've seen Scene Chain and I've seen the Scene Selection screen, but neither seem very conducive to live set list playing. I'd love to see the TR buttons be able to be used to step through a set/scene list--you can quickly see which number song/scene you're on in the set list and can just select the next one or jump forward or back to the exact spot without having to stare at the screen.

I heard in one video that it takes about 40 seconds to boot up.

No multi-sampling. Hopefully it'll get added in a software update.

Should it be possible to morph with the wheal changing down volume on one zone and in the same time putting up volume on other zone?

Looking at the manual, it looks like you would need to use the mod matrix to accomplish this. The wheels can only be mapped to CC's, pitch, and aftertouch.

What about the 'virtual pad' for morphing sounds. It comes up with a single button to press. For me it is a good solution.

Ok thanks. So it is not possible to use wheal to morph like i nord stage

This particular function (morphing from one sound to another by lowering the volume of one and raising the volume of the other) can be done via the touchscreen, they call it the Motional Pad. It allows you to swipr your finger around to alter the balance between up to four sounds.
