Roland Fantom-S 61 Expansion SRX-02 Piano

[muzikman2008]

Better than Rolands demo... i need this expansion thanx!

[omgitsrook]

Gorgeous! Nice to hear someone actually PLAYING and not banging out some tasteless techno lead.

[MrBigrumor]

Greetings! First, great demo of just a few of the MANY piano's that this board offers, Second, thank you for demoing all of the various styles of music/sounds from classical, pop, rag, etc... I just have to tell anyone looking for a complete awesome keyboard, as I use this exact board on stage every weekend in my band, the Roland Fantom S is simply amazing from sampling, sequencing, ability to use expansion boards for just about any sound possible, ease of navigation and being able to layer, sp

[SethANix]

typically how much is a fantom-S 61?

[acaruso36]

@SethANix used i think there selling for $950.00 to 1150.00. might be selling mine soon.

[VOD102]

Can i record my own songs with different instruments like a piano part a guitar part and a drum part together and ON the keyboard?And how many instruments can we add?Please answer me in a message on my account

[acaruso36]

@MrDannycock Not sure, i never got that error before. You might have used up all your sample memory. check with roland. Good luck!

[danydrumsable]

you are amazing man!!

[acaruso36]

@danydrumsable Hey Thanks for the kind words! I did this demo for a friend from the UK who wanted to hear what this new Sound Expansion board would sound like . Glad you stopped by to take a listen.

[eXPerienceyeah]

Roland piano just stomps all over Korg.

[luisfgalvez]

hey man!!! you have a wonderful skills!!! I´d love to play like you!!!! Keep it up! I have a Fantom-S too!

[acaruso36]

@luisfgalvez Thanks much for your kind words. Roland Fantom keyboards Rock!. Great piano patches.

[luisfgalvez]

@acaruso36 My pleasure buddy!!! I´d love to know if you have some tutorials??? I really like how do you play!

[acaruso36]

@LAZERFIST888 I guessing the JV 2080 is an older Roland Synth or sound module?. Google a search about the specs of your unit. I don't believe The Roland SRX-02 Piano Module will work the JV 2080.

[juanchomtz100]

do you want to sell it ??

[SkoaBeatz]

what is the second song, which he has played?

at 1:14

[acaruso36]

@SkoaBeatz  the songs called superman by Five for fighting

[SyriaTransNapoletana]

Sei bravissimo

[acaruso36]

@SyriaTransNapoletana

[acaruso36]

@SyriaTransNapoletana Il tuo modo gentile. grazie



[100benjamin]

I have the same bloody roland, but mine doesn't soundlike that LOL. Are you the one who made the demos for the Roland S?

[acaruso36]

@100benjamin I wish! I just had a Youtube viewer wanting to know that the SRX-02 piano sounded like. So , i made this video.

[100benjamin]

you are talented man, beyond your workstations!

[BrownWZ]

Does anyone know what is the keyboard he has on top??

[acaruso36]

@BrownWZ why yes. Its a Yamaha Sy77 FM Synth 16 track Seq. Its over 20 years old and Still kicks butt! That's why i never got ride of it. Check out my demo of the yamaha sy77 in my other videos. Its digital.. but... sounds very analog.

[mattpbeats]

the second song sound like da akon song "dont matter "

[BigTimeBeatz2007]

When you were playing at the 1:14 mark that piece really touched me. Seriously loved it! Is there anyway I can get that whole section in midi please?

[acaruso36]

@BigTimeBeatz2007 Thanks Much, I love this song to. about midi. I don't have a midi set-up for the song. But i guess it wouldn't be hard to redo. I'll redo the song some time and save the song as midi. I"ll get back with you.

[BigTimeBeatz2007]

@acaruso36 Thank you very much sir. I will highly appreciate this and I will make a production out of it and also let you know when I finish.

[herwig76]

Nice Playing, man. You made my decision. I found the SRX-02 much more realistic and "nice" than the SRX-11. I have to decide because I only have 1 Slot (Juno-G).

Keep on going!

[xmjimenez]

Beautiful, ¡congratulaciones!

[Mrsony23]

great

[jtbhoy]

simply beautiful

[freemusic1979]

grande espressività,bravo

[acaruso36]

Thanks Much. Get your gear out man... specially your Korg Oasis.

[djjevo]

i want to know the name of the 2nd song

[acaruso36]

Its from a band called "Five For Fighting". The name of the song is called Superman.

[djjevo]

i like it

[comptongameLA]

price in europe?

[acaruso36]

Not sure about price in Europe. New or Used. I purchased my SRX-02 on Ebay used for $125.00 it list retail for $259.00

Hope you find a great deal to! Oh And Thanks for The comment below.

[comptongameLA]

but this is very cheap for your synth..... to compare. the mm6 from yamaha costs abou 560 euro....

[STYRUMBEATZ]

the price is just for the SRX expansion, not for the synth ^^

[comptongameLA]

boah nice sounds!

[loveco13]

Do you experience the abnormal velocity switchings that so many people claim they have with the srx-02 card and if so have you found a way to tweak them? thanx for the great videos btw.

[acaruso36]

No Experience with bad velocity. I even tried to adjust the V. Switching to see if i could make the response a little better. I found out that the preset Velocity switching was just fine for me. I think tweeking the Velocity switch to much can make it sound worse. in My opinion. Thanks!

[fresh2def1]

hey good playing man. question - i have a juno g, are all srx expansion boards compatible with it? and do i need to get one of these to expand my ram? how do i expand my ram? because i have no memory on my juno g... thanks a lot

[loowbudget]

a expansion board needs no memory

[Mahavishnu80]

Would you recommend buying this used (good deal locally £450). If i sampled truepianos on this would i get good results?

[acaruso36]

If you sampled true pianos, It all depends on what type of quality mic, set-up, velocity switching setting, sample rate and bit rate. Also room acoustic effects to where the true piano will be in. But, overall, you might just get a great sample. I sampled my moog little phatty and it turned out better then expected. Good luck!

[Mahavishnu80]

..but truepianos is a vst..could i not  just do a midi file and then export to wav then sample?

[acaruso36]

OH, True Pianos is a VST. Midi File then export to wav then sample? Don't see why not . it should work. Good luck and have fun!

[jeffemir]

Thanks. I would give anything if I had the ability to play the piano. Great talent you have.

[acaruso36]

Thanks for the kind words.

[123curling321]

Thanks!

[123curling321]

I have a question, does the fantom-s have good recording capabilities? And if you know, is it able to compete with the fantom x series?

[acaruso36]

The Fantom S has great recording capabilities. 16 tracks. still very upgradeable. great user interface just like the fantom x series. Compete with x series? well, its, all a matter of personal choice of what a musician wants i guess. I'm happy with my Fantom S and i'm not into hype of new products that come out. Had my fantom s since 2003

[damix500]

01:10 nice :)

[ger4541]

hi can you tell me if you think the srx 02 would be a good addition to the soniccell. im not sure if the sonics piano sounds are new or from the same sound source as the early fantoms great plying by the way

[VITIXER]

Looks like that you are playing a Fantom S. What's the keyboard beneath it?

BTW, I like the ragtime at the end of the video!

[acaruso36]

Yes, Its a Fantom S that I'm Playing. Beneath that is a Yamaha PSR 3000. Thanks for watching!

[maddenjunkies]

I like it very smooth. Question what keyboard stand do you have? Is it a 3 tier stand? Thanks

[acaruso36]

Yes, its a 3 Tier keyboard stand by Ultimate. I got it from musiciansfriend about 10 years ago. works great!

[Schnuckisworld]

oh you hit me with your music..beautiful

[acaruso36]

Opps, I hope i didn't hit you to hard. Anyway thanks for the comment and i'm glad you enjoyed the music. Makes ME Happy!

[farddanny]

what kind of tool

[acaruso36]

A Short hex wrench i think . but i installed with just the tools laying around my house with no problem.

[farddanny]

do you expand the memory in the fantom before buying a srx sound card. thanks.

[acaruso36]

Yes, But i don't think that the memory upgrade is required before you install the SRX. I just added the memory because it was cheep and i was opening the bottom of the roland anyway. Its was a simple process. Took me all of 5 minutes. Roland recommends a curtain tool to  install the SRX board.

[seraph127]

Very nice playing. I wonder if you have any impressions on how this compares to the SRX-11. I'd like one of the two, but unsure of which one would better suit me.

[acaruso36]

To be honest, I haven'r realy tried or heard the SRX-11. I was lucky enough to get my SRX-02 on ebay for $125.00 If your looking for better tone and professional Piano Sound Samples, Then the SRX-02 is your best bet. Anyway thanks for watching my demo.

[vpoci]

Thaks for the demo! I've got a Ronand SonicCell sound module along with a Fatar 990 keyboard, and I've been thinking about buying an SRX-02 card. You made me make up my mind!

And great playing, by the way.

[acaruso36]

Glad I could help. I think you'll be very impressed with the Sound once you hear it for yourself in person.

[THC79]

FANTOM G FUC X

[acaruso36]

Well.... No, You Mean FUC-S. This is the Fantom S-61 And It Rocks. Don't comment if you're going to Disrespect other Peoples gear. It in poor taste.

[qube123]

Nice playing, how does the SRX-02 compare to the SRX-11?

[LPFan3118]

Great job!

Amazing tones!

[DereckLamar]

I wish i can play my roland like that great video man!

[acaruso36]

Thanks much! no matter what skill level you have... just remember, keep play'in and have fun. Thats what realy counts!

[as23we12]

Hey Guy..soo true!

I bought a Fantom XS8 workstation. I'll be paying for it for two years.

I fight the guilt of having something I can't really use, and couldn't really afford. I keep promising myself I'll read the manuals one day...but each time I get them out....I lose myself in the moments that follow switching it on.

I can't play..I can only play well enough for me...but for me...thats enough.

I've had it for a year....I turn it on each day...and still the manual will have to wait.

[KancerStick]

hey there! great playing and sound.

That srx-02 sounds great, i got a question though.

i currently own the rd-700gx, i love everythinga bout the piano except for the piano patches..do you think the srx-02 would solve my problem ??

[acaruso36]

Thanks, I checked out your RD-700GX on the web. Haven't listened to sound patches from your keyboard. The SRX-02 piano was the right choice for me. With a keyboard like yours, you should have great piano sound. Tinker with the effects and experiment. Or, You can purchase this SRX-02 and you find that its not for you, return it. I got mind on ebay used for 125.00 retails for $259.00 good luck!

[CULTUREOFMUSIK]

well done !!

i just bought an x7 and bought the srx dance card.

how do i move the sounds from the expansion card to my computer via usb..anyone?

thnx

culture

thnx

[acaruso36]

I think you have to create a sample from the SRX card using the Fantom X sampler feature and save the file. Then, upload the file to your computer. You might want to check out roland forums for help. good luck.

[elexitoso]

Hi are these piano sounds good for playing other rythms like latin music? merengue and salsa?

[acaruso36]

Yes, all you have to do is change your playing style and thats it. The SRX-02 expansion board can do all types of music styles. Blues, classical, Lantin, Salsa.

[033635]

man ive never seen keyboard piano playing like this ITS AWESOME!!!... seriously!

i was wondering are u using a pedal? how do you get such good sound? are the srx expansion boards worth investing in?

[acaruso36]

Yes 100%! The SRX boards are worth the money. I was using just a standard foot sustain pedal. Anway, Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the Demo.

[imposiblequeexista]

How worthy can be the expansion card? are they commercial? not very seen in my country.

[imposiblequeexista]

heavenly tunes

[Mattz007]

the 2nd one is REALLY COOL

[acaruso36]

I liked the 2nd one to! Thanks

[Mattz007]

im going to buy a roland xp30, WAYYYY BELLOW THESE PIANOS^^ but i really liked it on the store

[acaruso36]

I just looked up the Roland Xp30 keyboard up on the internet. Looks like a great keyboard. Hey,have fun with your new Roland.

[Halunlimited]

Thanks for the nice playing and demo of the Expansion. The Fantom-X can be pretty overwhelming. Is there a good systematic way of learning how to play this model? The manual seems kind of complicated and the DVD that comes with it is not that helpful for me as I've never played a synth before. Thanks.

[acaruso36]

no, not realy a easy way to learn. Just experiment and go to Roland forums on the net. Thanks for comment.

[Halunlimited]

I found about 11 free workbooks on the official Roland site that explain a lot of features much better than the User Manual so I'm going to study them. Plus I'll do a lot of trial and error since, usually, by the time I read the instructions, I forget them if I don't apply them immediately. Thanks.

[acaruso36]

Great, I might needs some workbooks to better my understanding of this exp Board. Good luck and have fun jam'in!

[VITIXER]

I have those PDF workbooks too. They are certainly better than drudging your way through the manual!

[acaruso36]

Great, Just be careful. A bad flaw in adobe reader software that opens up PDF files that hackers can used to take over your computer. Get and update of adobe soon. I am.

[NickRama86]

That was a really cool video. You are very good. I have one question? How can i learn to play like that?

[acaruso36]

well first, you have to have passion for piano. Find a Good Piano Teacher. Then, practice, practice, practice... then more...practice. I've beeen playing since i was 5 years old. I'm now 39 years old. Still learning something new everyday. Thanks for the nice comment. I appreciated it very much.

[Daedus08]

haha loved the ending =)

[digitaljosh]

Great Demo! Love the patches!

[FrikZz0r]

Beautiful ;)

[duledush]

hahaha this is stupid CORTAN THE KINGGGGGGGG

[acaruso36]

Thanks for the comment. I enjoyed the melodies of the first two Songs.

[downbg]

i like the melody you are playing, and like that you know what to play(good melodies) :))

[acaruso36]

No Problem. I had fun making this video!

My Keyboard set-up and having fingers stick to the keys made some playing styles a little difficult. Weather and Temp High 80's effects my keyboards.

[weaponEX]

Thanks a lot for posting this! It's useful to see how the different patches compare
