Hello Keybdwizrd ! I need an advice from you! I want to buy a Roland module and i really don`t know what to choose: JV1080, XV5050 or Fantom XR. My main concern is the SOUND QUALITY! From what i read..jv1080 and xv5050 have a special vibe...but what module do you find with the most inspirational sounds from those 3?

[keybdwizrd]

@AdiV8 IMHO the Fantom XR will give you the best sound quality, but the 1080 is easier to use.

question: does this have all the sounds from the fantomG ?

[keybdwizrd]

@xVenu5 I don't know.

i recently bought an XR and i was wondering is there any way to make the velocity consistent within playing the notes? Alot of times my notes are softer than others and it's somewhat annoying. I'm used to Ensoniq keyboards which possess a "Full On" mode which turns off velocity completely and the notes are played at full volume. Any suggestions? I'm stumped.

@ThatsMrTimex2You Sorry, I no longer have the Fantom XR, and don't have an answer for you.

[AdiV8]

Thank you very much for your answer! Greetings from Bucharest, Romania! Adrian

@xVenu5 if you fill up the entire SRX expansion bay on an XR you can more or less get all the fantom G sounds, the only upperhand the fantom G has is a different platform of expansion so to speak. ive owned a fantom x7 for over 4 years and i gotta say i tried and tried upgrading to the G but i just cant.....instead i expanded and got spectrasonics omnisphere running on my protools interface

IMHO, Fantom X is way better for sound design, that's because you have more waveforms to choose from, obviously havin' at least 3/4 SRX installed.

The G series instead is better for producing, that's because has a very powerful sequencer capable of play and record up to 24 audio tracks (in sample ram) and 128 midi tracks pointing to 16 midi channels only obviously.

i use a fantom xr and a rack full of sound modules and i control them with cubase or logic, i don't like internal seq.

[kyma1999x]

@keybdwizrd fantom G has a total amount of rom samples that's 256 megabytes vs 128 megabytes of fantom x series....but fantom xr could be expanded with 6 srx cards each containing 64 megabytes of samples, so with 6 cards installed the total amount of rom samples would be 128 internal + 64*6=512 mega of rom samples (double of fantom g).

Roland made a selection of the best material from fantom x series, srx and also new samples and stored that stuff in 256 mega, and that's fantom G!

[Novaheart1998]

@xVenu5 no, the X series was replaced by the G series, the Fantom G is newer than any Fantom X line.

Wonderful!

The vortex reminds me of the Playstation 1 startup song :D

Excellent video, I also have a Fantom Xr in my setup, and the sounds are lovely its a great sampler too. The only thing is I wish they had made it taller so they could have installed a larger screen. There is always going to be something we want though.

I hope Roland bring out a version with flash memory also.
