  • 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.

  • @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
