OK. I see. Can anyone tell me the max LFO rate in the Zen-Core engine of the Fantom? One thing I'm disappointed in the SN-S engine of the FA is that the max LFO rate is kinda low.

I love my FA-07 and have been interested in the new Fantom. I'm confused as to what additional sound-generation features the Fantom currently offers. Both the FA and Fantom offer the SN synth engines and the XV-5080 PCM engine. It looks like both synths offer exactly the same set of SN and PCM tones...

Now sure what you are asking. As you wrote, the FA-08 uses the Ivory Feel-G Keyboard with Escapement.

In the Preview Studio Set mentioned above, the keyboard mode is set to "Single". If I change the keyboard mode to "Studio Set," the above issue doesn't happen. So it seems that volume level = 100 seems tied to the "single keyboard mode." Weird.

In 001 Studio Set (FA Preview) the preset is "Full Grand 1" and its volume level is set to 100. I change it to 127 and save the Studio Set as a user set. Next time I turn on my FA-07, the volume level of Full Grand 1 in 001 Studio Set is, as expected, 127. However, when I select another pr...

I'm surprised to know that someone is using GM....

Have you ever played a real grand piano?

I just saw it, and it's exactly what I've been hoping for!

If you had the cash, what would you buy: an original Jupiter-6 for $3000 or a Jupiter-X for $2500? I'm asking because a fairly decent looking Jupiter-6 just went for $3185 on a Swiss auction site. Incidentally, does anybody know of a review (preferably on video) where there's a comparison between t...

I've been playing synths since 1991, and I couldn't care less about aftertouch on any synths I've owned or played. I personally don't find it musically useful at all.

Then, Roland would have to charge $4,000 for the Fantom 6.

I tested a Fantom 8 at a GC in NYC on last Saturday. No screen movement at all.
