There are previous discussions on the differences between FA-0 and Fantom-0, for example:

I am only aware of one source that has not yet confirmed that version 1.04 fixed the polyphony issue on the Fantom-0, and others have already mentioned in https://forums.rolandclan.com/viewtopic ... 66&t=70221 what they think of this source. You can do the following, which should address your concern, and which would help others to get more clarity on this topic:

Create a multi-track song on the FA-06 that maxes out the polyphony (based on your needs). Use only preset tones, export it to MID and WAV, and share both the MID and WAV files on this forum, including the list of used preset tones.

If you do that, then others can replicate the song on the Fantom/Fantom-0 using the corresponding Z-Core tones, and share their WAV files. This would allow you and others to hear how the corresponding tones on the FA-06 and Fantom-0 sound, and whether there are notable differences in sounds cutting off.
