Re: Fantom as master controller/sequencer
24 Dec 2020, 17:40Not sure this is strictly on topic but:
Using the Fantom to trigger sounds in Zenology is a pretty good way to increase Fantom polyphony in a dense song. Zenology Pro is still free as of today. FL Studio 20 demo version is free so you can try this all out without spending a dime.
All of the Fantom factory sounds + all of the Roland sound libraries show up in Zenology. They are categorized and numbered exactly the same as in your hardware Fantom.
So even if you hate DAWs (I do) this becomes a useful way to quickly find a sound you need by scrolling on your computer screen and trying them out one after the other. You can save any sound you find in Zenology as SVZ file and import into the Fantom via USB.
Finally even if you hate DAWs, having linear recording available + audio recording + full featured sampling is not such a bad thing. These features may or may not ever show up on the Fantom so finding a cheap and good workaround is not such a bad thing either.
