Re: That old chestnut: the best Hammond clone in Other gear · 16 Jul 2008

I don't think the Voce has a built in Leslie effect, so that might be a problem. Also don't forget the Nord Electro, which is supposed to sound really good, but doesn't have real time drawbars, which may be a problem. I...

Sampling an SRX sound in Synthesizers and Keyboards · 12 Feb 2008

I have a fantom XA, and as it only has one SRX slot, I have a problem, because I have 2 SRX cards that I want to use. However, one of the cards only has a couple of sounds that I want to use, so I was thinking that I cou...

Re: Prog Lovers: Frost* studio video featuring X6 in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 8 Feb 2008

Jem, I think you were entitled to be excited - lots of work you'd lost there! I was quite puzzled in one of your other videos why you'd got the Dance SRX card (apart from getting it free) until I discovered your *day job...

Re: FCB1010 Foot Controller in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 25 Jan 2008

I use one, but as I have a combined keyboard / guitar setup, then it is useful as a multipurpose midi controller. Essentially for keyboards, I use one of the pedals as volume, 2 of the switches for leslie slow / leslie f...

Re: NEW FANTOM-G, PLEASE TALK HERE in Fantom-G · 17 Jan 2008

"Just because they are using the old samples, doesn't mean that they are going to be the same sounds. " Well yes - perhaps not a good way to put it - but if there were different ways of using the same samples - more velo...

Re: NEW FANTOM-G, PLEASE TALK HERE in Fantom-G · 17 Jan 2008

Surely if there are no slots for SRX cards, that might mean that they are not compatible with the new system. In other words, the new system might not be based on the old 4 tone structure (unless I've missed that somewhe...

Re: Has anyone tried the SRX-97? in Fantom-S and Fantom-X · 13 Aug 2007

I'd be interested if you come up with any decent versions of the overdriven hammond :) Cheers James

Re: SRX-98 and SRX-97 in Synthesizers and Keyboards · 3 Aug 2007

well I've got one of those, and I was inspired last night to go beyond the presets a bit, and came up with a half decent hammond, but it really isn't overdriven enough for what I want. The Gimme Some SRX isn't too bad, b...

Re: SRX-98 and SRX-97 in Synthesizers and Keyboards · 3 Aug 2007

OK - thanks for that - a real shame - although I always thought the XA had basically the same hardware as the X6 etc, just with less ROM. I'd still be interested in your review of what the sounds are like though - it mig...

Re: SRX-98 and SRX-97 in Synthesizers and Keyboards · 2 Aug 2007

Thanks - I'd be very interested to hear Rolands response to that one - it does seem unusual to only work with limited models. Buying outside of ebay would be fine - we just need to sort out a price. It sounds like you ha...
