Kakaroto, I concur; Pink Floyd were amazing (and admittedly were the main reason I watched the show!)

And people say that pros have stopped using Roland gear. Or maybe that was just the Motif fans on Harmony Central

Mariah Carey's keyboard player is using an X7 atop something else I can't make out. First time I've seen one in use by a "big" act...

<r>I know you specifically said you don't want to buy an SRX board, but do check out the SRX-11 sometime if you haven't already. It's awesome <E>:)</E><br/> <br/> I use my X8 mostly for playing piano, and since buying the SRX-11, I haven't touched the Fantom's onboard piano patches, which says it al...

Easily. There's a good inch or two of space left on all sides of the X8.

<r>I recently bought a Gator GK-288R for my Fantom X8, and can recommend it. Note that there's a similar case called GK-288SLIM that is /not/ big enough for the X8.<br/> <br/> Paul Roberts<br/> <URL url="http://www.m3fe.com/">http://www.m3fe.com/</URL><br/> Roland Fantom-X8, SRX-02, XV-2020, Yamaha ...

<r>Dunno about the synth-action 'boards, but does anyone else find the black keys on the X8 et al to be even harder to aftertouch than the white ones? I've written off aftertouch as mostly useless on the white notes because it's so hard to control it expressively, but on the black notes I'm not goin...

The X series don't have touch screens. Unless they do, in which case I'll feel very stupid.

<r>I'd be interested in hearing opinions from anyone who purchases the SRX-11. If it's sufficiently *different* from the F-X's Ultimate Grand then I'll probably buy it for the variety. I guiltily admit to use my F-X8 for playing piano 90% of the time <E>:-)</E><br/> <br/> Time to sell the SRX-02 met...

<r>Hi guys,<br/> <br/> I'm trying to use the F-X's resampling feature to sample the piano track from a song. I want sampling to start exactly on the first beat of the first bar of the song, so I can drop the resulting audio back into Cubase without having to try to line the sample up manually.<br/> ...

I'll give that a try. Thanks

<r>Mine's the same I think - the finish is really patchy. I considered sending it back, but I'd waited a month for it and didn't want to part with it!<br/> <br/> <URL url="http://www.m3fe.com/~paul/fantom_x8_yuck1.jpg">http://www.m3fe.com/~paul/fantom_x8_yuck1.jpg</URL><br/> <URL url="http://www.m3f...

<r>Yikes, you're right, you do have to press hard, especially on the black keys. It seems to be rather an "all or nothing" effect as well. I guess I'll play with the sensitivity and see what happens.<br/> <br/> I don't like pressing my brand new keyboard that hard, it can't be good for it! My old Ya...

<r>Hi folks,<br/> <br/> I'm a new owner of a Fantom X8, and I'm having trouble getting aftertouch working.<br/> <br/> If I edit a patch and specify that aftertouch should control (for example) panning, then play with that patch on the pads, then the aftertouch works fine. However, playing with the s...
