Re: Attention: Planet F sound library lower price offer to e
<t>Replying to nudge the tread. ;P<br/> <br/> Anyway, I was working on a Rick Wakeman/ELP medley, and was having fun doing some synth voices, but sometimes the Fantom filters don't give me what I want. I find that in most cases, though the patches on the Fantom are wonderful, the filters on my Karma...

Re: Attention: Planet F sound library lower price offer to e
<t>I'll have to hold off until I can have the disposable cash. But another $10 for more patches, assuming they're excellent isn't a big deal to me.<br/> <br/> I'm particularly interested in what you guys have done with the filters, doing some analog emulations and stuff because the Fantom filters ar...

Re: OASYS
<t>I'm with the droolers here. I could have bought the Oasys last year as I just about had the money! But I wanted to outfit a studio and wasn't sure the beastie would handle everything I wanted in a music workstation. However the more I look at it, I wonder if I made the wrong decision not getting ...

Re: FantomX videos
I should be in bed. 
I like these videos. I just wish the producer hadn't used that dumb "happy camera" technique we started, but they are really nice.

Re: Better Piano Sound?
I have to say that I'm stunned. First that William Coakley is going to release a piano for the Fantom! Second, that he's a member here! And answers questions and stuff! So... do you have any idea when this beastie will be released? I'm always hot for additional piano samples. When it's out, I'll be ...

Re: The ideal keyboard for lush 'Pads'
<t>Uhm... yeah. ;D<br/> <br/> I just recently (yesterday) got my beloved Fantom X7 along with a Korg Karma which I had been lusting after for four years. What a combination!<br/> <br/> Best synth for doing pads... that's a tough question. I looked into all of the synths out there, and when I can get...

Re: Anyone had it with the Fantom pads?
<t>I remembered the Fantom X pads being a little easier on the fingers, but mine is just as stiff as ever. I did the Light touch setting too, left aftertouch on, and increased the volume of the percussion sounds too, and now it's much easier to be Terry Bozio or Bill Bruford. I still go to the keybo...

Re: Excerpt from Motifator
<r>I have to say that a Motif ES "anything" would complement a Fantom X well. The keyboard sounds are juuuust a smidge better on the Yamaha (in my opinion of course), and I really like the percussion sounds. Plus the eight insert effects on the ES give it a lot of power. It fills in the VERY few hol...

Re: S90 piano or Fantom X piano
<t>I say the Roland will complement the S90 very well. In non-piano areas like guitars, basses, organs, strings, synths and the like, the Fantom has some excellent samples. The filters and effects are marvelous as well, and it's a much better synthesizer than the Yamaha, very configurable and progra...

Re: New Fantom Threat From Alesis?!!
<t>Actually, I think the Fusion looks rather ugly, unlike the sleek gorgeous look of the Fantom X and Oasys, especially with the raft of controls on the Oasys panel. But Alesis is known for some great sounding samples on their QS synths, and great filters on their analog and VA synths, along with so...

Re: OMG!!!!!SOO NICE
<t>It would be nice if they'd offer a boutique synth to go with it, something like the equivalent of a Kurzweil 2600, Fantom X or Motif ES with some of the other synth engines like VA modelled, FM or PM.<br/> <br/> Soft synths are really good, but I have to have a Roland sound, a Korg sound, an Enso...

Re: Do you think that Roland’s answer to this new Korg works
<t>Roland and Yamaha both are going to have to answer to the Oasys and Fusion. I was hoping to see something this NAMM, but it looks like Roland and Yamaha are going to be sharpening their pencils and getting something ready for next year. Unless they hustle something to summer NAMM...<br/> <br/> I ...
