Re: When will ROLAND release their next Workstation ? in Other Roland gear · 13 Oct 2011

Because I'm likely much older than most of the members here, I've seen most of the changes in synths over the years. ( I used to hang out at the ARP factory!) My best guess is the world economy was a factor in Roland's c...

Re: a new count down is started, maybe is it the right time in Fantom-G · 14 Sep 2011

For what ever reason, Roland is inundating me with Jupiter-80 email. I've no interest in the board for a number of reasons (one being the weight) but my primary reason is the handling of the FG series. I looked high and...

Re: If your G was stolen or lost would you buy another one? in Fantom-G · 31 Aug 2011

GW: I use the G7 as a master keyboard. When purchased, I was the only keyboardist in my weekend gig but since then, we've added a second player so I can play more sax. I got a good deal on a floor model G6 via Ebay and i...

Re: Roland Fantom G6 vs. X6 in Fantom-G · 24 Jun 2011

The older X and newer G series are really apples and oranges. The X, IMO was the pinnacle of the Fantom series. It pretty much got everything right, functionality wise. It had 2 predecessors and Roland took the X to the...

Fantom G fan club in Fantom-G · 21 Jun 2011

I've used the G6 and G7 for several years now and follow this group frequently. I've found many of the foibles and shortcomings in the G series but just want to state that I'm still a fan. Previously owned the original F...

Re: Another BUG on the Fantom G? in Fantom-G · 30 May 2011

Haven't experienced the issue described. Have you tried copying the patch to a different location? Could be area 51 thing. Seriously, would try relocating the patch. T

Re: New Roland Workstation during (2011) ? in Fantom-G · 25 May 2011

Sweetwater Sound is the acid test for cutting edge equipment. As soon as gear is outmoded, they drop it like a hot rock. The G series is still on their site and in their catalog.
