The Naysayers were WRONG again about workstations being dead! But maybe not about flagship workstations ... This isn't a Fantom G replacement but rather a cheaper lower end board targeting the korg Krome and Yamaha MoxF market. It is a flagship. It has all the sounds you need and all the features o...

<t>I am not happy with the recording which I have payed for as this is my first single and it means that the release will yet be delayed since I have decided to do it myself with sonar home studio 6 one more time.<br/> do any of you guys use it and does it give professional results? As I have it but...

<t>I just got the chance to see the Korg M3 61 for the first time today it has a smaller foot print than the Triton Exteme 61 with almost the same sounding piano with many of the sounds almost the same as the Triton Extreme. It has a different feel not better or worse than the triton just different....

<t>I have to agree with Artemio the Fantom gives a fantastic mix I am doing a whole album (not demo) the real thing just using the Fantom it is great for any kind of music. I have just tested the motif XS a couple of days ago which does sound very nice but not better than the Fantom perhaps differen...

<t>back in 1993 my High Schools music department threw some of its old gear into the garbage bin and the students were offered the gear if they wanted it. the gear included a Roland SH1O1, a very old MOOG I am not sure which one it was both synths were working and there was a couple of old Yamaha ke...

<t>hi I own an x6 and I love it cause it has fantastic sounds both synth and acoustic and it has a great sequencer on board. I am also waiting for the next workstation from Roland but I will not sell this one even if I do buy it because I tend to regret selling gear after its gone and I never find o...

<t>I like the overall shape of the Fantom x over the Triton extreme due to the layout of buttons the shape of the panels the end caps and the text layout which is very well balanced. Triton classic looks much nicer than the Triton extreme but I must admit that the blue valve tube on the extreme look...

What is/are your favourite looking workstation and why?
This is just about Industrial Design product styling etc...

has anyone seen or played the korg M3 yet?

I have not seen the motif XS yet as they have not arrived in Australia yet and I wont even think about buying the motif Xs or the Korg M3 until the next generetion Roland is released, and by the looks of the V synth GT perhaps a Fantom GT is around the corner until then I love my fantom x.

<t>maybe there is a new version coming perhaps with USB. I own an AX1 Which is the older version red and does not have the screen on it and I also own a CASIO AZ1 which is from the 80s I am happy with both. The best place to look at this stage would be Ebay you will find some AX7s in almost mint con...

<t>yes that is not a bad idea Dire Virtuoso or the other option is to wait a few more months for the new workstation from roland which I feel would be very nice as I do feel that just like Korg and Yamaha, Roland is going to produce the next generation Fantom or whatever after reading this forum and...

<t>well if it is the natural sound that you are looking for then skip the big three and go for the Kurzweil k2661. I know it does not have USB but for the finest strings, spanish guitar, drums etc this machine duplicates them very well all you need to do is listen to it once and you will know but ag...

<t>I am happy with the piano sounds of the fantom x I like them more than the yamaha s90 piano. I am happy with this machine and I am not thinking of replacing it but I would like some nice guitar arps on it which will bring it to another level.<br/> the motif XS looks good too but I love my fantom ...

<t>At the moment the only thing that I liked about the motif es was the arps and what I mean is the way the Acoustic guitar strumming could be done using the Arps which is now taken to the motif xs it just sounds so natural. I just want to know if the fantom can also do this or has anyone been able ...
