I do not own any other B3 emulator, but this one you have made is very flexible and inspiring. It has grit, depth and warmth. I love it!

I WAS READING THE CLAN, AND I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT JC'S ADVICE DIDN'T ANSWER OR FIX MY PROBLEM. I'M NOT SURE I COPIED THE FILE RIGHT, I DON'T KNOW WHERE FANX.SVD OR ROLAND\SND IS. IF YOU FIGURED IT OUT PLEASE EMAIL ME AND TALK ME THROUGH IT. MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS CMCRUTCHFIELD1020@YAHOO
THANKS

If you use a blank card, like he said, then you can properly load everything. You end up going to the song list and load the B4REAL8 Song. It will read the patches from the card. I then re-routed the patches to my internal memory so I could use the card for other things.
From Page 5 of this post click on JC's attachment: From JC:
this is what I have of version 8.0
it is undocumented but easy enough to use
copy the entire folder onto a blank cf card and plug it in..
you should be in business
there are patches, performances and svqs.
good luck

Hi JC, I have found very good comments on your work. The thing I want to know if this Hammond sounds are free, and where I can download them from. I have downloaded B4Real_8.zip but all I find there are SVQ songs. Where are the sounds?

Do I have to pay for the Hammond sounds here?
I don't have a PC Card, and I am new in this, but what I want to do is to put the organ sound into my Fantom. How can I do this and what files do I need? Cou you attach them and explain me?


Thank you very much,
Sincerely.
T14.

I've know found the fans.svd
I don't have a card but I replaced my fans.svd for the one you provided in this download 98752-ROLAND\ROLAND\SND
But nothing happens, I don't get the sounds, neither the performances or patches.

Hi, I'm sorry for posting 3 times, but I am glad to tell you that I have made a progress.
I don't have a card. I copied the fans.svd into my ROLAND/SND folder. I couldn't find the sounds there. But I also copied some SVQ files into my ROLAND/SEQ/SNG folder. When I load the song I can play a sound. I will stop here to explain what is actually happening.

Each track has asigned a CARD: D 3 for example and so on. The sound is formed by 16 tracks. with D3 D4 etc.

The problem is that the patches appear to be in a card which I actually don't have.


Do I need a card o how can I get the patches on my Fantom X8 without it?

I was able to load some songs and play some sounds which I did like and so I congratulate you. Now I would like to solve this problem.

I am waiting for your answer.
Thank you very much, and congratulations.
Sincerely,
T14.


PD As soon as I make or get some sounds I will be providing them to you.

Hello,

are there similar patches available for the first Fantom workstation FA-76, or can these B3 sound be used on this machine as well?

No, FA-76 is not compatible with new Fantoms of course.

Hi Artemio,

thanks for the quick response, I thought so ....

Do you know if there are patches availble on the web for the FA-76 which provide reasonable Hamm,ond sounds? I'm using the SRX-07 Ultimate Keys board in my FA-76, but am not really satisfied with the patches on the board. Since I'm not a great sound programmer I am looking to get some patches which may make use of the waves available on the SRX.

Hi,
I'm a newbie here I bought my Fantom X6 last year in August. Now I found Jason Carroll's "B4Real emulator 8.0 " here... but I don't know how to use it?
I tried it with Save/Load --> Load Songs/Samples... but if I load a .svq-File , I can only hear a keyklick or another sound but not that B4-Organ sound.... so.. how can I import it correctly? Sorry, but it would be very helpful if someone could explain the progress in a very easy-language cause i'm from germany.

Thanks so much!

Kind regards
Dominik

Hi hervshahn,

I was thinking about buying the SRX 07 Ultimate Keys expansion card. I have excellent references about this card. Could you develop (tell me) a bit more your experience with this card. Why don't you like the sounds?

Is there any way the fans.svd could be made available? I have no problem with using those although I am having some difficulties with the individual RPS/svqs.

(Maybe at a separate link if there is some concern about confusion - just a thought)

I thought I'd jump in and give a liitle hand here.

So this is to those who don't have (or don't want to use) a memory card. First of all let me tell you that this was made partially, meaning you will only get the MAIN B4REAL performance (I'll explain what that is next). I will also would like to ask JC to check this, please.

So B4Real is (at least as I see it) meant to be used in Performance mode. For this you will get 13 patches layered. Each patch "simulates" a drawbar or percussion sound that you can freely "mix" - as you would on a real B3 using the MIXER mode of the Fantom.

When you load a B4REAL SVQ file, this one will bring you up these patches and also the RPS patterns to trigger the several effects (rotary, chorus, vibrato etc) into the "temporary memory" thus you won't overwrite nothing on your Fantom. THE SAME WILL HAPPEN with the file I'm attaching.

On the original JC file the Performance points to patches in the card where JC has originaly stored them. So what I did was just WRITE the patches in my internal user memory so they now point to there and I don't need a card anymore.

Now, I will attached 2 files.
the fisrt one in here - "INT_B4R8.SVQ" file is exactly the same as the B4REAL8 from JC except that it points to the internal user patches.

so:

1 - load my attached file "INT_B4R8.SVQ"
2 - Put your Fantom in USB-STORAGE MODE
3 - Select Internal
4 - Copy my INT_B4R8.SVQ to the FANX USER(E:)\ROLAND\SEQ\SNG folder
5 - Terminate the USB conecction
6 - Go to Song Edit
7 - press F1 Song List
8 - Select INTERNAL B4REAL
9 - Press F8 Load and again to Execute
10 - Press MIXER
11 - Press RPS

et voilá
use the knobs to mix the "drawbars" and the pads to trigger the effects

If you want to save some time and have the patches in your Internal memory see my next post.

Follwing my previous post:

If you want to to keep the B4REAL patches you can just WRITE each one in the internal memory. If you want to save sometime you can download the file SVD file I'm attaching and you will get the 13 patches used.

ATTENTION - DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
This file will OVERWRITE your USER sounds. You will get a Fantom with all the original stock sounds except USER PATCHES 1 to 13 and USER PERFORMANCE 1

Please consider that each patch must be considered as a "partial" sound and you will not get much with each one individually. However, when mixed in Performance will provide you the necessary "drawbars, percussion and leakege for the B3 organ "emulation".

So

1 - load my attached file "fans.SVD"
2 - Put your Fantom in USB-STORAGE MODE
3 - Select Internal
4 - Copy my "fans.SVD" to the FANX USER(E:)\ROLAND\SND folder
5 - Terminate the USB conecction
6 - Turn your Fantom OFF and ON again
7 - Check your USER perfomance #1 and USER PATCHES #1 to 13

Obviously this wont give you the RPS patterns used to trigger the eefcts , like I explain above. Please use the SVQ file to do this.
