Roland intentionally left out [ Multi-sampling to keyboard ] function where you can create multi-samples from live sampling without having to save the sample first. Fantom only allow singular sample to the keyboard. They allow you to sample one sound only to a zone. But you cannot sample multiple sa...

Can you start the process of eating a broom, maybe one from the kitchen, because Fantom got multi-sampling now?

In next firmware there will be the possibility to use User multisamples Roland has not said this, so that may be a rumor, hearsay, hope or whatever, but it's not announced by Roland. Roland reps said multi-sampling is coming soon very possibly in next firmware update in the Ed Diaz Youtube tutorials.

Still no multi-sampling. So that's a bummer! Like I said above, this update is a sign. A sign of commitment and listening and getting on with the vision for the full potential of the Fantom ;) That's great to hear. I know this is not the final update. I expect them to release a nice O.S. upgrade by...

Upgrade roadmaps are not presented in the Keyboard synth industry. Because when they sell you the keyboard they expect you to assume you're getting what you paid for. In a rare cases they may tell you additional sound options are forthcoming. They hardly ever roadmap any hardware features beforehand...

It doesn't sample.

You can load samples possibly but not sample them. Multi-sampling is multi sampling sounds or instruments. If it doesn't sample, then sampling should be taken out of the phrase.

Balanced inputs with XLR / TRS combo jacks (and phantom power) is a lot of hardware to throw at something which is not intended to be part of a future multi-sample engine (for the roll your own content side of the equation). I would say these features are some leading indicators. A tip of the hand....

Actually Roland says they plan on upgrading and adding multi-sampling capability in the future.

1. Full Multi-sampling capability and the ability to play samples on the keyboard. 2. Skip-back sampling ability like on the Fantom X series Workstations. 3. Ability to load SoundFonts files like on Kronos. 4. Ability to use user samples as source samples for partials and tones on the keyboard. 5. A...

If you change midi channels while a note is playing will cause it to get stuck. If you were recording and changed sounds that changed midi channels then your notes got stuck. Playing with 2 or more midi channels and switching between them will cause one to get stuck if you changed the midi channel n...

A simple O.S rewrite would only route the samples to the keys instead of the pads. You need to do more than map the pad samples to keys (which it might be able to do as it is... I think the similarly configured FA works that way). Realistically, to make your samples a keyboard-playable instrument, ...

Real sampling, at least the level which would make most people happy, would massively increase the cost of the board. You'd need SSD and it's controller, all the editing software and a way to import/backup the hard drive. All for what, so you can load a piano or some ancient Akai sample? Making thi...

Well it has 16 Partials or Tones. Each Partial hold 4 sounds each. But I read that sound engines and features can be optionally upgraded. "And FANTOM is part of an expandable platform, with new sounds and new possibilities coming." So I think Roland will add Multi sampling capabilities at ...
