Might add it to the SRX-02 already in the S88.

<r>Hello by the way it's been awhile and hope you are well.<E>:-)</E><br/> I bought a floor model Motif ES6 last summer rather then lament that our Fantom-S was long forgotten by Roland like it's predecessor was.<br/> But having the S88 with the SRX-02 I like the samples from the new SRX-11 and migh...

Happy happy joy joy!
LOL.......
Peace,

<r>LOL!A lot of us S88 pioneers put the SRX-02 in our Fantoms.So it is not so painful.The 07 is another route.After previewing the X88 I bought an open box Motif ES6 instead of the XR for right now anyway.<br/> If I didn't already have the S88 the X88 would be my choice.<br/> Hopefully I'll add the ...

<r>I like to make and edit my own patches and my Fantom-S88 is a breeze for this.<br/> I'm a retired singing drummer but I played an EML 101 and a Putney in the past along with my DX7.<br/> I had lots of Echoplex treated tape loops on old four track tape machines.<br/> Had a Korg Vocoder and used br...

<r>THE MOFA SX KILLER will not only use cutting edge technology of newest Asian synth market (USB 2,Firewire,enormous ROM.Compact flash)it will also undercut the Yammy and Roland workstation pricing by 1500 dollars US on the 88 key line with 256 poly voices.<br/> It will also carry HDTV on a DLP tou...

<r>I own the S88,use a borrowed Motif rack,and recently bought the Motif ES 6.<br/> I still prefer the S/X8 keyboard feel over the Motif ES8 or Korg.<br/> Other than that IMHO either a combo of the S or X Roland with the Motif rack or ES series is a great way to have the best of both worlds.<br/> If...

<r>As mucsusn said the dynamic super/hyper cardoids for your purposes will do a great job.<br/> SM Shure series has been the standard but IMHO Audix OM series is better bang for your buck!<br/> You can get the Audix OM5 from Zounds,Music 123,etc. starting at $149 or even less these days.<br/> Great ...

<r>I have the S88 and have the SRX-02 installed.I like the dark tone of the Premier despite some of the nuances like velocity problems in certain registers.I also like the X and XR pianos especially the Dark patch on the new X.Playing the new X8 and ES8 side by side through decent monitors helped di...

<r>I just bought an ES6 for $1400(hear that FBJ) cash US moolah from a friend who just bought a Kurz K2661.<br/> He loaned me a Mo rack last summer and we swap and buy each others gear from time to time so we usually give each other a good discount or loan out for potential selling.<br/> He has a V-...

<r>I rarely post much as my approach to the Fantom series and workstations in general is newbie all the way despite a pro background in early analog synthesis and electronic music.<br/> Artemio's HOUSE O FANTOM is indeed a family of diverse Workstation MANIACS and offers fellowship,communion,great i...

<r>I still stand by the SRX-02 ex board installed in my S88.<br/> I know others hate it or are unimpressed but it is a dark rich piano sound IMHO and perfect for practicing my "P"chops.<br/> I was not over wowed by the X6 as far as trading in my S88 but I did finally play the new ULTIMATE piano on t...

<r>Just tried the new X6 and still prefer the SRX-02 Premier Grand in my S88 over what I heard of the new Ultimate Grand on the 61.<br/> Pads are much improved and Ultimate is better than the stock FA-S piano hands down but I'll have to do some runs on the full 88 of an X8 to hear what I AM NOT HEAR...
