X8 - thats different story, I thought that you bought X6.
X8 has great real keys action and definitelly good buy,
I played on it. Excelent instrument, but a little expensive...

I'm buying juno-g because I already have good digital piano (Fp5).

Am i the only one, or does anyone else notice that when he bounced his song, the final bounce sounded duller than the original version? Its the same problem in the fantom S too. When you resample something, it loses a lot of its high-frequency content and i have to manually emphasis it a coupla times.

yes, I've noticed it too. Same thing I saw on fantom X
with "skip sample" buttons.

in a mix, it doesn't really matter ...

more importanly, though, you need to set your levels right ...

the potential problem I've noticed with skip-back sampling is that there's no level meter visible unless you're in the sampler setion ... so your levels may be lower than what they should be for recording ...

I've just gotten into the habit of regularly checking the levels in the sampler section and it makes a BIG difference ...

BTW, who writes the script for these Roland videos? It's funny to hear the same kind of phrases that Scott Tibbs pulls off so winningly -- "Let's go check out that cool feature!" -- and hear this funky bassist uttering the same style of dialog, with some difficulty.

Some tunes and whatnot ...

Even with the levels set right, losing high freq. content is no small matter. Whatever you did, loses its brightness. When you apply EQ/enhancing, it adds artificial brightness to the EXISTING wave file, but its IMPOSSIBLE to bring back the original brightness. It sounds totally different and you would know it if you have resampled music containing bell sounds/percussion sounds/pads. I dont know how anyone could call it a small issue.

As I wrote a while back, Roland intentionally de-emphasize the samples during playback. Their ROM waves are all pre-emphasized. The samples, to sound true via the engine, need to be pre-emphasized as well. But if you resample something and listen to it on a computer, you will hear what you heard from the Fantom while sampling, a clean audio recording, not de-emphasized (it gets de-emphasized during playback). Again, not sure how and why, but they say that this scheme allows to achieve better quality in further sound processing by filters, effects etc.

Thanks for the explanation, art.

As for roland's mega-super-duper-getrichquick-scheme, de-emphasize my arse.

Agh you still didn't get me, you need to pre-emphasize your arse, Sam!

"you need to pre-emphasize"

Hi, Art.
How can this be done?
Max out the volume as possible before any type of sampling??

Big up!
So mi go so den...
