<r>My percentage of posts over the last weeks (before I didn't even bother to post here any more) has been MUCH too small to serve as pretext for any of you. <br/> <br/> I have only posted here again, because I thought that everybody had come to their senses a bit. If that was wrong to assume, no pr...

<t>FatBrass, it is important that you trust me, that I'm not into some kind of war of revenge thing. <br/> <br/> But it is really my conviction that concerns should be expressed anyway anytime, not to nag on some other user's or moderator's nerves, but to speak out and "walk tall" (if you understand...

<r>@V-Cee-Oh <br/> "I think you already had the time to understand that none of "these" moderators or fanboys is actually able to help you on your needs." <br/> <br/> I had enough time not only to understand that they are not able to help, but that they are more or less unwilling to help to enforce ...

<r>be sure we will be happy to communicate any new stuff for the Fantom G, whatever it might be... <br/> <br/> I personally would appreciate a well done, multitimbral VA ARX over anything else, including a B3 clone (second on my list) or a (for me not so urgent) V-piano board. I'm not talking about ...

This is a very well done user reference, especially for users trying to find their way into sampling and recording.

Nice job, Art!

Do the transposed sounds occur "wild", or are they fixed to certain patches after backup restore?

<t>Yes, agreed, Jabberwocky: fixing the G in big style would bring them back into business, even now, though it will be harder to regain customer confidence. <br/> <br/> @Fatbrass: it seems we can only agree to disagree. <br/> <br/> From my view Roland needs (positive and negative) customer feedback...

<t>Thomann (one of the biggest European sellers) selling rankings in workstation keyboards: <br/> <br/> - Motif XS7 and M3-73 on ranks 6 and 10 <br/> - six Motifs and M3s (together with cheaper workstations) in the top ten <br/> <br/> ... <br/> ... <br/> Fantom G7 meanwhile down on rank 27! <br/> <b...

<t>We never get this kind of information before publishing, neither for ARX cards nor for OS updates. <br/> <br/> In contrast to other companies Roland does not communicate with their customers in any helpful way. They just do what they want (which does not have to have much to do with real customer...

<t>Well, a workstation should have more than 7-8 sounds to cover a broad range of possible situations and tastes. <br/> <br/> But I agree that 200 high quality patches would be ten times better than 1000 or even 10000 patches with the well known high crap factor, which is so prominent on more than o...

<t>Velvet certainly sounds like one the better/best emulations. <br/> <br/> But it seems to me that <br/> a) the "clean" examples aren't clean, but are running through a chorus effect. <br/> b) the whole dynamics seem a bit over the top compared to a real Rhodes (as if we had another case of dynamic...

<r>These are two of the super-natural boards which I prefer over all the emulations. <br/> <br/> They have only one disadvantage: they don't fit into a small expansion slot <E>;-)</E> <br/> So I I'm still glad I have some workstation sounds on board, sounding more or less similar enough to get by. <...

<t>Very well done direct comparison. <br/> <br/> In harmony central one user hit the nail: <br/> "I'm amazed at how much better the korg and the nord sounded compared to the roland. I think the basic sampleset from the roland is even better than the ARX board.... I liked the korg sound best, though ...

We completely agree on that.

But the smoke will only stop when the fire stops.
Not when those who shout "fire!" keep silent
