I engineered a PIPE ORGAN on my FANTOM-08!! 

Hi, Thank you! At that time I used the Studiologic mp-117 foot pedals, it's one of the better options in its pricerange (around 500$). They have a range from C1 to E2, which is far less than real church organs, but still a good option if you're on a budget. The main reason to buy this one if you're into pedalling is, besides the budget, the fact that the range begins so low, so it will hardly ever interfere with your manual playing. But if you really want a broad range, I'd recommend Nord pedals or Viscounts. There you need to decide wether you want radial ones, concave pedals... They'll start at C2 and end around D4 a lot of the time, which is inconvenient when you play both pedaliter and manualiter. My solution for that was buying a viscount pedalboard and sending the midi to a roland fa06 that I once bought second-hand, and then sending the FA06 audio into my fantom-08. It works splendidly, the sounds mingle terrifically, because the wavebanks are very similar (not the same though)

Hey, thanks man!! personally I like the Fantom-08 overall, I like the fact that's intuitive, you have a very high amount of tone control (this pipe organ sound is engineered with the internal wavebank and tone edit parameters, not a default patch), the sounds appeal to me personally, but I don't want to deny the famous polyphony issues and very scarce disk space, but those are not that problematic for me. About the MODX, I did consider it, I like the sound bank as well (especially the pianos, E-pianos and strings), but I just had a better feeling with the Fantom-0 after comparing the specs. I don't know exactly anymore what shifted the balance, but I do think these workstations, along with the Korg Kronos, AKAI MPC are all very similar in quality but answer to different needs. I feel that the Fantom-0 answers to musicians/producers/composers who like straightforward machines, but require a high level of control over their sound and want to streamline their workflow. This also makes it particularly adequate for preproduction (I do this for Petra Nova, so he comes over and I let him have his way with the fantom-0 and assist him wherever his fantom-0 skills stop or I look for the right tone or something). to summarize: For me, even though it has some small technical shortcomings, it's the best I could have bought.

Btw, check out the youtuber "a Mack Classic", he's also a Fantom-0 user and he makes jams and songs very often with it. Although I would advise you to always take into account that people tend to be very enthusiastic about devices they have learned to work with. We tend to forget that it's not for everyone. 😬

@@deinstrumens1177 hey, buddy, many thanks for those detailed responses! I'll take them into account, definitely. As you already noticed, I own a Yamaha, which means new sounds and perspectives are mostly welcome now.

@@helvecioguimaraes you're welcome! Go for what inspires you and have a blast like they say!! 💪
