Fantom-G

famous fantom users

I first saw this guy in the Fantom G demos on the Roland sight, and thought, "what a nutcase". . . Then I heard him play and said WOW! Then thanks to rbarkhouse, I checked out some of his videos on Youtube, and gained an appreciation for his energy and quirky excitement. . . .Then, I purchased both Frost albums and CAN"T STOP LISTENING! Anyone into Prog, I HIGHLY suggest checking them out. GREAT stuff! Thanks for the tip!!!!

Anyone know where to find any original material by Jimmy Kresic other than the Youtube clips of him Demoing the Fantom or him being a goofball in his studio?

im not famous but i make music for famous artists using a fantom g6 mpc and logic!
I caught the end of a PBS Soundstage Seal did in February. The first part of the show he performed with an orchestra, but in the last part he was backed by a drummer, guitarist and keyboardist.

I saw them play Crazy and Kiss From a Rose and the keyboardist was using only a Fantom G8. He covered a wide range of sounds and triggered a number of sequences from the pads. At one point the cameras were alternating close ups between the keyboardist playing and hitting the pads and Seal singing - it was very cool. The guitarist and the keyboardist alternated playing bass parts. The whole thing was very unusual.

Here is a short clip from youtube:
