2 Fantom Gs (does it make sense?)

Why 2 if you can hardly use 1 at 100% ?

the goal is not to use the instrument to the max (i mean it's not a piano or anything) and use with a good margin.

urh..... just in case you didn't notice, I was joking
To give my personal oppinion, I would never get 2 synthesizers with the same sounds unless I could afford having one on the studio and another on the road. Having a G8 on the studio and 1 G7 on the road still would not make sense for me since their keyboard is diferent. So your performance would also be diferent.

oh....

yah, i use my G7 more like a sound module extension for the G8 and both never leave my music room.

i have differenet projects loaded up so it's quite a different animal if you set it up that way.

Why not?

Myself I am considering going the other way...I find the G6 a bit heavy for gigs, so I plan to saw it in two so I have two G3s ... easier and more portable that way...

two G3's ?
Hummm. not enough keyboard....I need at least 4 octaves on each...

It does make sense....If you wanna access to the three ARX card @ once. No need swapping out cards.

@ en

one of the better reasons that someone has come up with... still not a VERY good one... but then again, if need to use ALL three ARX cards to make your setup complete, then it may just be a VERY GOOD ONE!

well, lets just say you do all sorts of gigs. weighted keys for that intimate piano moment (only if they come out with supernatural piano for FG) or that crazy DJ live mixing for house or club, or scoring that a huge film or that back yard home videos, I guess FG7 and FG8 does make sense. If one to go, I guess the other will be just the right amount of keys to support such music. plus, FG7 will suit you well for that quick set up and rehearsals with descant amount of keys minus the weight of logging around. And more so, your better half can finally understand how you feel by playing along with you. Now that will absolutely free up the check book which spells out more awesome gears! LOL!

Well, back ups is always a good thing.

I bought THE first Fantom G (a G8) sold in all of the Washington DC area. I was mistakenly sold it a full day before it was publicly released. It's a great keyboard and aside from a few gripes, I absolutely LOVE it. I gigged with it for a full year, but after that I grew tired of lugging a 70-some pound keyboard to/from gigs and practices 2-5x weekly. So, I invested in a G7 for
gigs and the G8 stays at home as my practice keyboard. I configure all my Live Sets on it, save the project, load it into the G7 before a show and I'm set.

In my case, owning 2 FG's makes perfect sense, and I don't
regret it one bit. Your mileage may vary.

And if you're curious, in my gig-rig I use the G7, a Yamaha Motif XS7, and a rack with 3 synth modules, effects, and in-ear system, etc. I used to have a Korg Triton Extreme 88 and I truly miss it.
