@martijnvandongen No, I haven't yet. Thanks for the info! I will try both when I have saved enough money but actually I prefer the Motif! But I'll give the Fantom a fair chance when I try it ;)

@bommel88 Dear Bommel, I don't know if you already bought the XR or the XS. I have bought the XS. I must stay the sounds are very great of the XS, specially the piano and the strings, the brass sounds are also done very well. I don't like the synth sounds so much. I'd rather use my Korg Triton TR Rack for. Korg is better with the synth sounds.
Hope I have something about this info.

I've seen a video on how to make a drumkit from samples on the Fantom, it's yet a nice feature to have... I'm really torn between those two synthies and my money won't suffice for both :(

you should go out on YOUTUBE and hear some of these older synths.... its how we got 'here'

ALWAYS CAN COUNT ON 'THE WIZ' to give great and thorough demo's... MERCI MON AMIS
can you make the pad sound from Roland JX8P.. that smooth cinematic one. but not the one in fifths.

Sorry, not familiar with the JX8P.

Is this the stock Fantom e.g. without addon cards? I'm looking forward to buy my first rompler next year, candidates are this one and the Yamaha Motif XS rack. But I can't decide... the Fantom is already a bit older (2004?) and has (from stock) less sounds than the Motif. But it is upgradeable (which is quite expensive...) and the sampler is also a nice feature to have, although for me atm not really necessary.
What's your opinion? Have you ever played on a Motif XS rack? Thank you.

There are no expansion cards in this Fantom XR. I have never played with the XS rack, sorry.

Hey Keyboard Wizard. Those are some crazy riffs you are playing my man. I also have a Oxygen 49 and i'm thinking about picking up an XR tomorrow too. I was wondering if it is difficult to set up the Oxygen's knobs and faders with the XR? and also how are the effects on it? Thanks

I have not programmed the knobs to control the XR - I do everything via the front panel. The effects are very good, but can be complex to configure (although there is software that makes programming the XR easier). Regardless, perhaps because I have been a Yamaha user for so long, I don't find the XR to be particularly intuitive to use.
