Hi everyone,

I'm a new fantom G - owner, and i'm really loving the instrument!

First I was playing around on it, trying to discover the endless possibilities.

Now i'm also using it in the coverband which i'm part of.

So, now i'm busy to make live sets for each of the songs. One song i find rather difficult, and i wonder if anyone of you could help me.

It's BEAUTIFUL DAY by U2. It's a great song and i get close with the sound but it could be better.

It don't need to be exact either.

I think i don't use the right patch to start from.
And then there is the effect. I tried with flanger and with delay but i don't really succeed.

Is there anyone who can help me? It's not the purpose to make an exact copy but i believe that this will help me learning to work with the patches.

Thanks in advance!!

It actually sounds like it might be a heavily modified piano sound. Things I might try:

- Choose one of the more duller piano sounds
- Try lowering the cutoff a bit, add a slight amount of attack time to disguise the piano's attack, bring the sustain time down to 0 and adjust the decay time to get a "plunk" sound that dies fairly quickly
- Add a tempo synched delay, sounds like either a triplet or 8th note delay, adjust the feedback until you get the right amount of delay pings

If I was at home in front of my G, and not stuck in a cubicle, I'd give it a try for ya

I tried this one out, but the result isn't really satisfying...

If anyone could try this out on his fantom G?

Thx
