Re: Fantom X vs. Triton Sequencing in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 23 Sep 2005

I have a Fantom S88 and a Korg Triton Studio 88. Although both can get pretty efficient after you get used to them, I mainly like the Triton better because it easier to do multitrack pattrns and chain them together. Also...

Re: anybody have an Alesis Fusion? in Other gear · 22 Sep 2005

I played an 8HD for a while at Sam Ash in Cincinnati the other day. I thought the action was nice, and the board looked cool. Also, it has a very small footprint. The sounds were good I thought. The piano sound was quite...

Re: Pianos in Synthesizers and Keyboards · 9 Aug 2005

Hi William, thanks for posting here. I have a couple of questions. I tried to find the answers here and on your site, but couldn't. I appreciate your response if you've already answered them. 1. Does your Fantom piano Vo...

Re: fantom s or xa?? in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 29 Jun 2005

Fantom S is more of a pro keyboard.: Fantom-S: Better keybed (same as X) more user ram more SRX expansion (4) velocity touch pads same sixe screen as X (but mono) better built (same as X) Xa: 128 poly vs 64. Besides the...

Re: xa or x6 in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 29 Jun 2005

And don't forget about the Fantom-S. Besides being less poly (64), it's a more professional instrument than the Xa. It has the same keybed as the Fantom-X, no wal-wart power supply, more SRX expansions, more user memory,...

Re: Is the Fantom Xa really just a beefed up Fantom S? in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 3 Jun 2005

No, the Xa, is a scaled down Fantom-S in most ways. The Fantom-S has a larger screen, more user memory, no wal-wart power supply, better quality keybed, touchpads, more expansion slots, and is better built. The Xa does h...

Re: Better Piano Sound? in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 31 May 2005

The SRX-11 is a big improvement over the stock Xa pianos. For that matter the SRX-02 is an improvement too, but not as good as the SRX-11. The SRX-11 isn't perfect, but neither is the Mo-ES pianos. It's centainly as good...

Re: Another SRX-11 artifact? in Synthesizers and Keyboards · 30 May 2005

Jeff, You're absolutely right. The middle C has a ringing character that only it has. I find it just like you described. I've heard these type of keys on some real pianos, and it definitely gives the SRX11 an element of...

Re: Will Roland surprise us with the F-X successor? in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 17 May 2005

My prediction is the next Roland workstation will have the color touchscreen, tonewheel modelling and maybe the weighted 76 keybed of the G70. It's stuff they already have. bb

Re: General Sound of the Fantom in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 6 May 2005

I used to own JV1080, JV2080, XV88. Now I have a Fantom S88 and S. I agree that the Fantoms (stock) are better in most regards. There are a few JV/XV sounds that I miss, and a few things that they can do arguably do bett...
