ROLAND FANTOM Xa SAMPLES IMPORT

Hi!

I'm about to buy a ROLAND FANTOM Xa and I'm wondering about something-as I have a ROLAND MC808(I think that the sampling and sequencing is similar with the FANTOM),when you import wav/aiff samples into it(MC 808),there's this auto sync function that allows the sample to sound in the same tempo as the tempo of the sequence is,only the pitch of the sample is different,depending on the key you're pressing.So I'm wondering if the ROLAND FANTOM Xa has this function too(I couldn't find any info about this on the net)?Thanks!

Yes, the Fantom-Xa can sync loops to the tempo as well. In fact, it has the same sound chip as in the MC-808, so you will feel at home

OK,thanks!And something else-I saw that there are mute buttons below the screen,can I mute the 16 channels of the sequencer with these buttons,or they're for something else(I mean to mute the tracks of the sequencer like on ROLAND MC808)?Thanks!

Yes, you can mute parts/tracks with these buttons. But the Xa can't mute single drum sounds as the MC can do.
