Me three ...

[V-CeeOh]

After contacting my rep and since there's still a few hours to NAMM I can only confirm what's already said: The new Fantom is the Fantom-G6/7/8.

I'm on the run now. Got to sell my X8

[The_Magus]

Great news - let's wait to listen and play them, when they reach
finally music shops. Hope they will not cost too much more of
the X counterparts.

i also notice the big guys n especially art being quiet abt this topic.

Artemio is quite busy converting his Sinevibes libraries to Fantom G

[acoustictones]

Are you trying to tell me that Artemio has already had his hands on one of these bad boys???

[V-CeeOh]

Obviously not. I'm just joking about it. However, if by any chance he did, we still would know the same.

[acoustictones]

[stanley]

i bet art is gonna make a planet G too just like v-chee dreamt )) not forgetting to mention the tweakbook called the "G Book"

[SRUT, BUT...]

Fantom X sounds better than Fantom G

Agree on that.

But the evolutionary solution would have been "Fantom Y" (Fantom Why?) or "Fantom X2-6" or "Fantom XX-6" or Fantom X-66" or "Fantom X-6.2. That's uncool as well.

So, I believe ROLAND went for something further away from the "X".

[Shalako]

That's funny.

Over the several days I have been saying that I want to see things like a bigger sequencer and 20+ simultaneous effects.

And look at that dreams do come true.

>>>Fantom X sounds better than Fantom G

only because new G is silent yet,
but silence is gold

[acoustictones]

So which of Rolands MANY web sites will provide the specs fist? I heard that the UK site is going to be around midnight tonight (according to their count down clock).

Any others or web sites addresses that you think would be the first with the COMPLETE specs and pics (front, top, back, sides, screen shots, etc.)?
