Can i convert an XP 60 sound into Fantom S

No you can't.

I used to have XP80 and, before selling it, I wrote down the key patch parameters of some of my best patches. It took about 5-10 minutes to recreate each patch on my Fantom-S.

It depends. If it's one of the patches in that library of 1024 JV/XP patches that Roland made available for the Fantom, then chances are you'll find the patch you're looking for already converted in that group. They're built from different waveforms, but it's amazing how acurate they are.

Maybe I'm missing the point...

But I would have thought it'd be pretty easy to get a JV/XP sound into your Fantom S.

I just sampled a load of sounds from my D50 into my new FS. Turn off all the LFOs, and choruses/reverbs/effects on the source, sample the pure wave, loop as necessary then recreate LFOs and effects. Simple...

I'm sure Artemio is correct. However, I have an XV-5080 and XP-80. The XV-5080 is compatible with the JV and XP patches and if I can figure out a way to easily convert the XV-5080 patches to Fantom ones, I could convert the XP patches to Fantom ones by converting from XP to XV to Fantom. I'll look into this in greater detail as soon as I get my Fantom X8 (end of this week).

though I assume there are a set of waveforms in the FS that are already very close or similar to a lot of the D50 waveforms, so what would be the point of resampling them?

It is the patch settings that might be more useful, and as Art says, the easiest way in the end is to just note down the parameters and rekey into the FS

And as stated, look in the XV patch bank, theres lots of old favourites there
