Update Me On Fantom News Please

Nobody knows what plans Roland has, except the people at Roland. And they aint telling nothing. So I guess the next opportunity is summer NAMM, but don't hold your breath....

New here? Check this out!

C'mon tzoid :¬) - its obvious that a new workstation will be released NAMM 2008, unless they've lost the faith......

Actually
I hope that Roland keeps the Fantom series at least another year. This way we will have less users moaning about their Fantoms beeing outdated and we moderators will have less tears to wipe

Summer NAMM is not typically about synth products ... I doubt Roland would announce then ...

Really, soundwise, I don't think the new workstations really do all that much to upset the balance of power of the Big 3 ... (For instance, it's very possible the X will still have the best grand piano ... I heard the XS's new piano patch and it's a very typical Yamaha piano ... to my ears, YECCCH!)

If Roland cuts the price of the X so that it's 20-25 percent less expensive than the new workstations (and/or throw in an SRX card) that should probably be enough.

Perhaps I'll be proven wrong when I demo in person, but these new workstations seem like no revelation.

Perhaps,a new OS,for the summer Namm!No?

hypothetically if they were to announce a new fantom in the summer, would it be avaiable in the summer to or would it be an autumn thing?

For the MESS in germany in march,Idon't believe it.For the the NAMM of Chicago,it would be surprising.There is also the salon of Paris in september!
It seems to me surprising for this year!

Maybe 2008. I think the Fantom X still outshines most of the new products just released. The latest surely ain't the greatest.

Don't sleep!
