I bought my Fantom 6 few weeks ago and made at first my update to 3.0 and after some soundcheck Bbooommm i am in LOVE with my Fantom 6 :))) great Sounds and music production is so easy ! First i was looking to buy Yamaha Montage 6 and than i decided to buy Roland ! I hope that there will be some more cool updates for Fantom 6..great job to ROLAND...JUST KEEP IT 😉
Roland have always been so strong with this type of workstation keyboard. I still have a Fantom X and it still holds upto modem synths. Great video chaps
Ed is a legend and well done Jack , as a long term Kronos user this keyboard is getting more interesting. I did have an FA06 for a while but have always yearned for my mc500 days back!! Maybe this can take me there, also enjoying Roland Cloud....
I know Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can give me.
@Kace Taylor i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Great video...!!! Was longing for a video like this...!! Kudos Ed...!! Have been boredom with comparison and voice videos...! Great job Ed and David Ahlunds video that explains the possibilities of a ‘workstation’
I’d love to see more about the online sound expansions. I used to have a fully loaded Fantom XR, and would love to see more about the expansions, from the JD/SRX ones to the new ones.
This is the only workstation with sampling that impresses me. I really hope they will increase the 2 gigs of keyboard sampling to whatever you have available.Other than that everything is perfect.
Dear Roland, please listen: you are still selling the FA workstation keyboards. Your paying customers have been waiting for years for a simple upgrade to let it multi-sample, and use it’s filters, and map our own samples across the keyboard. Even the Juno series does this now. Please finish the half baked software that you left inside the FA, and let us have this feature now. Thank you.
Better yet a newer FA with the DNA of the Fantom. Of course with some knobs removed and a dynamic knob that you can press in, but something up to date to rival the MODX and the other keyboard.
it's a shame no time stretching. And in the Pattern Loop Seting mode we can't if we all want to do half measures and stuck in time ??? example I want 4 and a half times it's not possible it's either 4 or 5 times why Thank you for your answer.
At this time the Fantom does not auto sample, but there are plenty of softwares available for that. I suggest using the Auto Sampler which is available in Apple Logic.
@@EdDiazKeys an autosampler for the Fantom would be a fantastic idea because a lot of people (including myself) bought the Fantom not wanting to use computer DAWs
My name was meant to be a misspelling of "fandom", and what I realized, it is the name of so many stuff, fantom foundation, fantom wallet, fantom Swedish velo mobile, fantom investment, name of an artist, fantom synthesizer, that is not what I was expecting
This is probably a stupid question, but I'm struggling with this: I have a sample recorded to one of my pads (it is a beat, so it is the tempo I want to use). How can I record another sample to another pad, but be able to hear my first sample while I record the second? This way, they are all the same tempo.
Does Fantom 6 have RPS function which triggers sequencer patterns when the pads are pressed ? I didn't find it in the user manual. It was available on Fantom X & Fantom G.
Can you edit and adjust the sample start point while playing another tone (so stay active in split mode while editing a sample)? A feature that the fantom x6 has that is super useful for analyzing samples.
Can you make loops on/and crossfades...?.. Greetings from Orange California...!!! ..Looking to buy my next rig FANTOM 8.. I will love to sample my KORG Wavestate...!!!
I'm looking to replace my Akai S-950 sampler. The Fantom seems to display busy screens a lot, "processing" sample takes forever and how come the changing mono/stereo takes so long? That slowness is a turn-down when you are in a creative mood. My Akai from 1980's is instant. You did not demo loop editing. Does it even do cross-fade looping or ping-pong looping? Although nowadays there is a lot more memory than in the 80's I still want to stretch a short sound by looping. And are samples in the 2 GB memory immediately available when you turn on the Fantom or does it take a long time to load? My V-Synth is veery slow starting up, which I don't like.
Whether you add or remove samples, the startup time will always be 35-40 seconds. It's flash memory and not RAM. This video is just a feature overview and not a deep dive, plus Roland still need to add a few more functionalities overall for this board. No cross fade or ping-pong fade options yet. If you are looking for a dedicated sampler than go for the SP-404MKii or any of the MPC range from Akai. Fantom is not dedicated to sampling like those devices.
I’m really interested in the Fantom. The sampling feature is of great interest to me. The amount of sampling time listed for the board though seems ambiguous. Sampling to the keyboard says 2’44” per sample. It has a separate listing of 60 minutes/660mb for sampling to the pads. It doesn’t say if that is a continuous record capability or if it’s 60 minutes, 2’44” at a time. I have need to play extended song files for special events during breaks. It would be great if I could sample a number of files 5 to 10 minutes in length and fire them off from the pads. Then I wouldn’t have to use an external device anymore. Anyone have any info that can clarify this spec? TIA.
You simply CAN'T launch a sampler functionality in 2020 that has less LOOP options than a equipment from 1991!!!!!!! And you still have to listen that the "Reverse Loop" is something incredible... in which Universe these guys are living?
No Juan. I think this is because the Fantom does not have a Sample Bank per Scene. It only has 256 locations divided up into 4 Banks with 16 locations. If you were to chop up samples then that space might be easily taken up.
You were right when you said "lets talk sampling". Talk talk talk - how about showing how the sound Jack sampled from the SE-02 could be shaped? Great talking but not very interesting. Patting ourselves on the back for a great Roland product (which it is) but how about letting the product speak for itself? Not very informative.
I'm with ya Steve. My bad, one of my pet peeves too and I hate seeing myself do it 😔 Especially to a Saint like Ed, thanks for watching and for the feedback.
@@jackduxbury1632 Jack the man .. I feel awkward now.. it’s just cos you’re a damm Nice chap.seriously. My reason for the comment was I’m a beginner/ intermediate And this is the keyboard I would wish to get I’m just thinking would I be biting off more then I could chew.. I mean how would a piano BE/IM novice start at such a keyboard Love the stuff you all do .. good luck Steve b london
No need to feel awkward at all brother. Thanks for the kind words but I'm with ya again on the "Board" front. These things are "packed" with features and I'm obliged to show them off and communicate them but at the same time does everyone need them?! That's why I feel comfortable doing the vids for Andertons, non of the staff work on commission so if you phone up it's in their interest to sell you the right thing more than just the newest most expensive thing! I genuinely dig the feedback though brother, much love and thanks again X
