Do you now own a Fantom G?
G8 -- just got it. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, although I'm wondering if anybody can recommend a speaker/amp set up so I can play without headphones!

sold it last week.
sold it last week.
I gave it another try
14 Jun 2008, 20:25Well folks, over the weekend, I gave the G another try, tweaking, playing, tweaking some more. Sound IS subjective of course, but after 4 hours with the G I really did not feel the "love" I do with the X.
Best of luck to those with the G. I know the reviews are positive, but I have played enough with the G (over 9 hours total) through excellent powered studio monitors, and I just cannot justify selling my X8 for a G.
There was an X8 in the store side by side, and frankly, the G IS worth the price of an X8 but not worth the price tag Roland is asking.
I also had the opportunity to have some hands on with the PC3X. The programming possibilities are absolutely insane and many serious new features are coming for this board. The sounds are nothing short of astounding. What you can do in terms of manipulating the wave ROMS makes up for the relatively smaller ROM set. Creating entirely new waves that are properly multisampled is a breeze, the new DSP algorithms go places even the OASYS has not gone. The VA engine is phenomenal and you don't have towait for an ARX card.
It will play VERY nice in live gigs with my X8, XV88, SH-32, and Wavestation EX
Best,
Vlad
