Re: Fanton and Integra 7 duplicative?
No, there are some things the Integra has that the Fantom does not. I don't know what the comprehensive list would be off the top of my head, but I think the Integra for instance has several extra categories of SuperNatural sounds.

Re: Piano sound at the Fantom.
Very much sounds like an upright piano. Yeah true. But the only upright piano I've found on the Famtom is the: PR-E 0386 Upright Pno I have found these to be good as an upright piano (all from the free expansions): EXSN03 12 Oslo's Finest EXSN03 13 Homegrown EXSN03 15 Mazurka 1849 EXZ07 276 JoyoCla...

Re: Fantom Aftertouch (6/7 vs 8)
One thing that I have noticed on my Fantom 8 is that the aftertouch is indeed almost unusable - except for the SuperNatural tones, where I find it actually seems to respond usably and there is even a noticeable gradient to it. I find this fascinating, especially given people's reports that it works ...

What global EQ or other changes have you made to improve the sound?
I've owned a Fantom 8 for about 4 months now and had honestly been very disappointed with the quality of the sounds for almost the entire time. Before this, I had an RD700NX for almost 10 years and always liked it. When it reached the point that it needed to be replaced, I spent a very long time res...

Trying to "map" a drum sound to multiple keys
Although I used the word "map" in the title, this isn't really what I want, at least not specifically: I just want to be able to accomplish the effect I am looking for regardless of how it's done. What I'd like to do is take a specific sound from one of the drum kits and get it to trigger ...

Re: When is Roland going to fix the Aftertouch on the FANTOM 8 instead of releasing updates to nickel and dime us with?
One thing I've noticed with my Fantom 8 is that the aftertouch seems to work far, far better with the supernatural tones. I don't know what is different about the way these are coded but I can more reliably activate the aftertouch and also I can more reliably control them over a range of levels. It'...

Re: When is Roland going to fix the Aftertouch on the FANTOM 8 instead of releasing updates to nickel and dime us with?
Considering we are talking about the Fantom 8, the feel of the keyboard IS the major feature. So, it is even more disappointing that reviewers haven't said much about the aftertouch issues. Unfortunately, aftertouch seems to be hit and miss on far too many synths. Synth makers need to understand, a...

Re: FANTOM 0x - SuperNatural Piano Polyphony issue
Jabberwocky, on the Fantom I have been layering a VPiano with the SuperNatural pianos to achieve a nicer tone, since the SN pianos sound much better but lack the string resonance and some other characteristics. The Fantom-0 doesn't have the VPiano, but you might be able to do something similar to a...

Re: FANTOM 0x - SuperNatural Piano Polyphony issue
This has nothing to do with ADSR. In fact, the way SuperNatural pianos are implemented generally ADSR does not affect them, and just testing now on my own Fantom that is correct: you can't change ADSR for the SuperNatural pianos. FGM, you said elsewhere that this has been your first synth. This has ...

Re: FANTOM 0x - SuperNatural Piano Polyphony issue
I wanted to see if this could be replicated on my regular Fantom, and it can be, so it doesn't seem to be a limitation particular to the Fantom-0. However interestingly, I can only replicate it if I hit a larger number of bass notes initially. If I strike only one or two (or maybe three or four - I ...

Re: When is Roland going to fix the Aftertouch on the FANTOM 8 instead of releasing updates to nickel and dime us with?
Yes the knobs have 0-1023 resolution unlike the usual MIDI values of 0-127, but the aftertouch on mine is like BINARY (ON / OFF). One of the worst things I find about the aftertouch being so BAD and ROLAND is not only IGNORING IT but releases a cheaper '0' model without the (faulty) aftertouch that...

Re: New Fantom and sound quality problems
I understand that TFX is already OFF or ON but with THROUGH, that is, no effect going on...? Same for IFX 1, IFX2, MFX....? I mean, no effects applied... Same for EQ...? Wheel 2 centered or inactive ? Everything is at factory default (so yes, most of those are set at "thru") except the eq...

New Fantom and sound quality problems
I've recently gotten a Fantom and have been enjoying it other than the fact that the sound quality has honestly felt somewhat poor. This surprises me as I often hear people complain about lower, sometimes "muffled" sound from the mid-tier style products like the Fantom-0 line for instance,...
