Roland Clan Forums

I heard a rumor... that there are absolutely no rumors.

I keep it all strictly in Live Mode and do as you said, step through one by one with a footswitch. I'll often have multiple Live Sets per song, e.g. 001 Watcher Intro 002 Watcher Verse 003 Watcher Solo 004 Watcher Verse 005 Cigar EP 006 Point Intro 007 Point Verse etc... Then, before every gig, I si...

You could also try buying one of those spray cans of compressed air (you might find it in the office supply store, its usually used for cleaning out computer keyboards), and try blasting that in under your buttons.

I'd be more interested in ARX-04 "Fantom-S Sequencer"

I don't think you're going to get any more realistic than what is offered in the presets (which is not very realistic). The base waveforms in the Fantom are very limited. For some reason, going back to the original FA76, all the way up to the FG, Roland have never had good choir sounds :( Korg has t...

To me, the biggest problems lie in the sequencer. For anyone who has any background in sequencing, it is extremely frustrating and limited. You see, the sequencer in the Fantom is a dumbed-down loop / beatz recorder, with everything centered around patterns that you are expected to loop, reuse, etc....

Fantom G sequencer = proof of no god :)

Looks great!

Option 1 is my preferred method :)

Possible NAMM 2012 releases:

Fantom-V
D-50X
TB-303G
iSpace-Echo
VP331

You never know!

Ahh, that's good. What JunoJohn lists is exactly what you should see in the project.

I have never updated to the latest OS (doesn't fix any of the real problems anyway so I don't see the point)

It would in no way surprise me if 1.50 could not load projects created earlier than 1.50 :P

No, sorry, that's not going to be possible. The patches that you find on your SRX card are made of wave samples that are actually ON THE CARD, not inside your Fantom. So a Fantom without the card will not have access to the right waveforms. You could go through the process of trying to duplicate the...

The drums are really good. They perfectly match the style you are playing.Which drum kit do you use for the song 'The sun always shine' ? One thing I learned doing these songs: you usually get the best results when you go looking for individual kick, snare, clap, tom, etc. sounds, instead of trying...
