Roland Clan Forums

<t>It's more than worth the ten bucks, and I found it quite easy and simple to use despite the interface looking quite overwhelming. It's one of the few things for which I have actually been motivated to create my own patches.<br/> <br/> There's a free version coming soon which will act as a demo. A...

<r>Ahoy folks!<br/> <br/> I've been a little quiet in the Clan lately, have sold my Fantom X8 and haven't had much time to crank out professional audio reviews... until now, that is!<br/> <br/> I've been playing with Noise.io for the iPhone over the past week or so and it's absolutely mind-blowing w...

From the Roland UK PR: "Street pricing will be around £1,499, £1,899 and £2,199."

I don't like the idea of digging up an extra £200 over the £2000 mark, I don't think I'll manage to sell my Fantom X8 anyway.

<t>With the X8 currently at £1,549.99 that would be insane, the G8 is good but it's not £798 better than the X8.<br/> <br/> That said I'm not too educated on the insanity levels of synth pricing but if you're correct then I'm not going to be getting one unless I can sweet talk them a couple of hundr...

<t>Woohoo. Looks like I may be getting on in April/May for review- if I haven't sold my Fantom X8 and bought one by then. The full low-down will be posted at Gadgetoid but I will do Q&A for anyone who hasn't by then had a chance to play with the unit. I'm sure plenty of others will be doing the ...

I might have mis-interpreted what was told to me, but I believe the Fantom G series will support a single 1gb stick of RAM anyway.

<t>I, too, bought my Fantom X8 about 6 months ago. Alas I have an absurdly short attention span and very little patience when it comes to the godawful Fantom X8 GUI so I started advertising my X8 for sale the day after the G8 was announced.<br/> <br/> I certainly don't need the G8, but I have good r...

What I want to know is: "Where's the internal hard drive!?"

As mentioned in the main thread.

£1999 for the G8
£1699 for the G7
£1399 for the G6

These are projected high-street prices, I have no idea how accurate they might be but they seem reasonable.

<t>I have unofficial UK pricing from Roland UK.<br/> <br/> The projected prices for the G series Synths are as follows:<br/> <br/> £1999 for the G8<br/> £1699 for the G7<br/> £1399 for the G6<br/> <br/> They seem almost too good to be true, but it's important to note that the G series will have comp...

Edit: Never mind, after a little head scratching I finally remembered the shifted transpose function of the Juno and set it back to normal. D'oh!

<t>I'm sure many will agree that the Fantom X boasts an excellent multi-sampled piano in the form of the "Ultimate Grand". Sure it's not the best, but it's currently what I have to work with.<br/> <br/> My problem with the Fantom is that I bought the X8, wanting 88 keys and a weighted keybed- this b...
