Re: Should I replace my Yamaha s90es with some powerful Rola in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 7 Jan 2009

The Roland Fantom G and FP series do what you want perfectly. I'm not positive about the RD series but I think they do too. Older Fantoms like the S and X will also with patch remain engaged. But it's a bumpy ride as eff...

Re: XP30 in Synthesizers and Keyboards · 11 Dec 2008

I believe what you are referring to is that the organ presets are given the same key range as a Hammond console with the 16' drawbar as fundamental. To move up an octave, go into Patch Edit/Common, set Octave Shift to +1...

Re: Buying Fantom X8 need advice in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 20 Nov 2008

I've bought a couple of scratch and dent items in the past and have always been disappointed. Both were damaged, probably in shipping. I wouldn't get anything this delicate and huge delivered unless double packed in orig...

Re: Cutoff and keyfollow in lead synth patches in Fantom-G · 21 Oct 2008

ON Rolands, opening cutoff all the way up (like the patch settings above) and then adding resonance boosts the high frequency content above what it would be with no filtering at all. This is actually a useful programming...

Re: Please Help Me With My Roland XP-30 in Synthesizers and Keyboards · 18 Oct 2008

I don't have an XP-30 so I can't tell you precisely where parameters are but I can point you in the right direction. There are two types of Roland XP performances: Single and Layer. You want Single. Your channel assignme...

Re: Fantom G price going ^ in Fantom-G · 8 Oct 2008

I've felt all along that Roland couldn't indefinitely price the Fantom G at a premium to the Motif XS. With the uncertainties in the economy right now I really feel that way. It sounds like adjustments are being made at...

Re: Insert 1/2 measure in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 6 Oct 2008

It's the same process as described by cgreene above. If you go to the top of your sequence you can change the beat (time signature) of the whole thing.

Re: fantom X - using 2 keyboards at once in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 4 Oct 2008

I don't know if this helps, but for years I used a Fantom S and a Studiologic SL-880 together onstage. Both played the Fantom S. On the Mixer screen I would highlight the part that I wanted to play from the Fantom S. Ano...

Re: Insert 1/2 measure in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 2 Oct 2008

The way I would do this is to change the time signature of the whole sequence to 2/4. Then your two beat half measure is transformed into a whole measure. As we all know, Roland really likes to see things in whole measur...

Re: Roland XP upgrade to Fantom series?? in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 29 Sep 2008

Ease of editing: editing is actually easier on an XP than a Fantom S/X, which don't have a numpad and require you to switch out of the main screen to do even simple things like switch tones and effects on and off. Roland...
