So what you're saying is that you like all the imperfections introduced by the D/A and A/D converters. That's a very common phenomenon and what you describe (ie: duller & warmer) is absolutely typical of the analogue process. But you have degraded the quality of your signal.

<t>The closest analogy would be copying tapes (analog) and copying a WAV file on your PC (all digital)<br/> <br/> The digital connection should ensure that the signal leaving the Fantom is identical to what you record on your PC down to the last bit. (Assuming you use the same sample frequency etc.)...

<r>Hi<br/> <br/> Does anybody have good information on what uses up the most processing power (impacting polyphony) on the GT?<br/> <br/> My limited empirical evidence is that the SBF filters are CPU hogs, and the HQ oscillators dramatically reduce the polyphony, but however turning effects on/off h...

<t>Your choice of buying a V-Synth or not shouldn't be predicated on its lack of a sequencer!<br/> <br/> That's a bit like choosing which car to buy based on whether it comes with a radio or CD player!<br/> <br/> At risk of upsetting all the Fantom owners (and I am one) - have you considered perform...

<t>Yes, the vocoder patches were significantly upgraded in the v2.0 presets. No idea how they compare to Roland's VP range.<br/> <br/> I used to have a TC Helicon Voiceworks - that does a bunch of other stuff including pitch correction, or having 4 different voices with independent male/female &...

Interesting comments on the V-Synth effects. I do find there's a lack of choice there, my cheapo Kaossilator has way more interesting effects & filter combinations including grain.

Can you get a more Virus-like sound through using the compression on the V-Synth?

<t>Surprised at your describing the analogue modelled sounds on the GT as inferior to the KS4. I sold my KS5 18 months ago as it sounded so thin, very little presence on the low-end, the GT is way better IMO and competes head-to-head with my Prophet 08 to the point that I'm wondering why I'm keeping...

<t>I've sampled a few sounds from my Prophet 08 (an analogue synth) and found that Variphrase does a pretty good job of mapping a single sample over 4 octaves. It works particularly well on the bass, yielding a slightly fatter sound than the Prophet itself! But high notes become problematic. You may...

<r>Great! Thanks for that!<br/> Will download the book & patches.<br/> <br/> I had a try this morning, sampling the "Car Crash" sound from my Fantom.<br/> <br/> I assigned the TimeTrip pad to control Time on X-axis, and SBF Width on the Y axis with Hold enabled. That gives a fair bit of control ...

<r>Hi there,<br/> <br/> Has anybody tried creating "tuned" sounds from unpitched noises? Possibly using a combination of SBF to accentuate the pitched sound and Variphrase to control the time & formant?<br/> <br/> Advice appreciated (and even more so any cool patches <E>:o</E>)<br/> <br/> My nex...
