Hi DNGmaestro,
According to the soundlists of the two boards, the differences are as follows, from the Fantom-0's point of view:
Scenes: 128 Scenes x 4 Banks
- Scenes are the same on Banks A027-A128, B001-B128, C001-C016, C028-C128 and D001-D128 (so the vast majority) [CORRECTION]
- Fantom-0 has new (different) scenes between A001-A016
- Fantom-0 has 5 Demo songs instead of 3 on the Fantom (A009-A013)
- Fantom-0 Scenes C017-C027 appear as A017-A027 on the Fantom
Zen Core Tones: PR-A 0001-0239, PR-B 0001-0459, PR-C 0001-0128, PR-D 0001-1109, PR-E 0001-0896, CMN 0001-0837 are all the same on both boards
Drum Kit Tones: PR-A 0001-0074 are all the same on both boards
VTW (Virtual Tone Wheel) Organ Tones: PRST 1-25 now also exists on the Fantom - implemented by Update 2.50
SuperNATURAL Acoustic Piano 1 (EXSN01): EXSN01 1-10 Now also can be used on the Fantom but needs to be downloaded from Roland Cloud - implemented by update v1.60
SuperNATURAL Acoustic Piano 2 (EXSN03): EXSN03 1-20 Now also can be used on the Fantom but needs to be downloaded from Roland Cloud - implemented by update v1.60 [CORRECTION]
SuperNATURAL Electric Piano 1 (EXSN02): EXSN02 1-36 Now also can be used on theFantom but needs to be downloaded from Roland Cloud - implemented by update v1.60
V-Piano Tone: PRST 1-17 Does not exist on the Fantom-0
EXZ Expansion Tones (From Axial website): Up to 16 Sounds can be downloaded for free from the Roland Cloud.[CORRECTION]
MODEL Tones (need to be downloaded from the Roland Cloud): EXM001 (Jupiter-8), EXM002 (JUNO-106), EXM003 (JX-8P) and EXM004 (SH-101) - free for the Fantom[/i] - implemented by the update v2.10.
NOTE1: Despite being supported on the Fantom-0, these tones are not free and need to be purchased from the Roland Cloud via the Roland Cloud manager
NOTE2: n/zyme (wavetable) Tones now added to Model Tones on the Fantom- implemented by update v3.00
SuperNATURAL Acoustic Tone (SN-A): PRST 0001-0070 are all the same on both boards - now also available on the Fantom -implemented by the update v1.50
Preset SN-A Inst List: 001-025 are all the same on both boards - now also available on the Fantom -implemented by the update v 1.50
Preset Drum Kit Inst List: Inst Groups A 000-710 and B 000-225 are all the same on both boards
Waveform List: Waveform Banks A1-963, B 1-257, C 1-620 and D 1-268 are all the same on both boards
In summary:
Despite a different (a lot lighter) hardware, less Inputs/Outputs, no internal Power supply, no Aftertouch keyboard, a simpler panel layout (less dedicated buttons for the Synth section), less Sampling capability (less Memory available), smaller (but more pixels) Display, few different Scenes (A0001-A016), not having V-Piano engine and not having free EXZ and MODEL Expansions, No Analog Filter nor Overdrive applicable to Input audio Signals, Only supporting 8 Zones with Tone Remain / Seamless transitions, the Fantom-0 is very much alike the original fantom in terms of functionality!
Here you have it.
I hope this was useful
Cheers,
PauloF
