My comments on the new Fantom-G series
Bugs/Enhancements
Okay here is a question
did they fix the X bugs !?
or have they just been re-branded as G-bugs?

Re: My comments on the new Fantom-G series
Artemio The Motif XS in sequencer mode has the ability to automaticaly asighn the effect to a track when you chose a particular sound, so if you like a wah clav with it's effect in voice mode, all you have to do when your in seqencer mode is hit the catagory button,chose the sound you want and that sound with it's effect is asighn to the ttrack you chose. Can the Fantom G do the same thing in studio mode? When you chose a certain sound,will the effect be added to the a track?
Re: My comments on the new Fantom-G series
lelo, it's done completely automatically, you just select a patch and that's it.
Re: My comments on the new Fantom-G series
Hmm, in light of my previous question about the effects, I wonder if it would be possible as an option to 'free' effects for use on other parts. Of course, this would compromise the concept of full effects in studio mode, but nevertheless...
Can't wait to read the manual!

Hugo, there are two global MFX processors in addition to the 16 patch MFX processors, but indeed we'll need to wait for the manuals to see how these can be used.
Re: My comments on the new Fantom-G series
Great to finally hear from you Art! This may have been answered already and if so I apolagize, but I was just wondering about the sequencer. Does it allow you to work with more traditional pattern linking? With the X I never really gort comfertable with the pattern system and would just end up copying and pasting.

wudsiba, sorry again, I have no details or opinions other than those I have posted - I'll need to get my hands on the G's when they start shipping here.

Artemio:
Hello my friend. It has been some time since we have been able to communicate at all. I'm sorry that I've been so distant -- I've been really busy actually, trying to find a job and staying healthy and all of that. I would like to offer some comments of my own on the Fantom-G, from YOUR perspective...
I agree with what you said in your kick-off post here. You have a good eye and a keen ear, and I agree wholeheartedly with what you said. I'm not even going to contradict you, because I like what you wrote.
I have certaiinly put Roland down more than once, but don't take my word for anything. The direction that I have chosen in music suits me, but for you, I think that the G is a great improvement.
I remember how years ago, you were simply dying to get a Fantom-S. You set up the first-ever Fantom-S newsgroup and forum, and I was pretty much sold on Roland gear back then. I even (briefly) owned a Fantom X, before I finally gave up on hardware synths. I returned mine to its seller, and never looked back.
But I need to make sure that you understand something -- your music is great. I have listened to what you created, back when the S was your world, and I was impressed. You once said that you aren't a "great" musician, but I beg to differ. I think that what you have created sounds amazing, and I hope to hear what you do in the coming years.
Anyway, that is it. Again, I hope that you are well, and I hope that I haven't alienated you or anyone else on this forum. I haven't been out-and-out mean, but being critical isn't necessarily called for. I will try to remember that what drives others isn't always what drives me. And hey -- that is a good thing.
If we all wanted the same thing, we wouldn't be able to live on this planet.

Re: My comments on the new Fantom-G series
Sammy, thank you very much for this post, and for the kind words.
Yes, I of course do remember how all started here, in fact it was almost five years ago. And you too have to be proud of carrying the member ID of 2, and I will never forget those first romantic days we had testing the forum out.
Thanks for commenting on my music - and yes, I do hope to be making some this year, now that I have a rather vast library of my very own sounds.
Glad you're here, Sammy!

korg m3
has anyone yet done head to head testing between the m3 and new fantom g? I was impressed with the functionalilty of the m3 but had decided to stick with my fantom x8 and korg karma.
Re: My comments on the new Fantom-G series
I believe that a bunch of Roland Secret Agents have already done it back in the Hamamastu R&D centerhas anyone yet done head to head testing between the m3 and new fantom g?
