<t>Hello! Has anyone tried using a controller with the Di? I wanted to used an 88 key Alesis, which has aftertouch (love that Fatar action)... This thing sounds like a Fantom G to me, and I just wanted it to feel better. <br/> <br/> 1. Will it respond to aftertouch? <br/> <br/> 2. Will the 88 keys c...

<t>Hey- sit around and "tweak" to your hearts content- but I need ready to go, quality sounds. I think I sat around twiddling knobs on my MG1 and Juno 60 when I was 16, but I have a business to run now- between my ebay business and 18 current clients (yep, mostly DULL commercial, video and education...

<t>Deifinitely. In fact, try layering Cello Orchestra with TransSweepPad, slightly detuned and panned.<br/> <br/> Holy smokes. Thats all I can say.<br/> <br/> Oh, BTW. I tried the JX through the board and directly throught the Fantom- no change. Sounds panny and analog chorusy through the Fantom, to...

<t>I have to agree. I don't want to start a "flame the 07" trend here, as I know many people love it, but from a studio standpoint- hmmmmmm. Not a very GREAT board, to be honest. The sounds are, well, OLD. Samples are a bit dull, and need EQ'ing, and are quite noisy and overdriven in the midrange (e...

<t>Oh- and for any of you software heads out there, if you haven't listened to a non-rompler, non VST, non emulation Roland analog lately (no, not a recording, but an actually hooked-up Jupiter, Juno or JX into stereo monitors)-<br/> <br/> <br/> -you've forgotten the true meaning of synthesizers. Ju...

Thanks, Artemio. I was trying to avoid another set of 15' cables to the Soundcraft, but I think if I don't, that super fat chorus is going to get compressed and cleaned up!

<t>Hey everyone- thanks for all the great posts. Quick question. I have a Roland Super JX hooked through my X7's TRS inputs and play it through the Fantom. My concern is sound. Am I losing any of the true nature of the JX10's built-in analog chorus, or, assuming a stereo in and out connection to my ...

<t>Guys, the simple fact of the matter is 90% of Fantom X owners never do more than make a few beats on it or utilize very basic features. Many folks impressions of the Fantom, and many other boards, are through poor sound, or poorly monitored live sound systems. As far as it's sounds, I have owned ...

Not to make you guys feel bad or anything, but GC sells SRX boards for $200 all day... (got both 07 and 08 for $216 with tax each)... My sales rep showed me the cost screen, and retailer cost is $170. Ouch.

<t>If you're considering a SRX 07, the Stereo Piano is quite a nice complement to all the others onboard. Yes, it's only two velocities, and yes, the older samples don't decay very long at the high range, but the COLOR is absolutely gorgeous; very rich but still bright and clear. It's great for mid-...

<t>I really do believe that an update of some sort is coming; there seems to be dealer cash involved as well as the $100 rebate. I paid $1,800, and got the rebate for $100 like two weeks later, for a final cost of $1,700 on an X7! Yes, 76 keys. Well, some tax, too, but ni modo, thats still a steal. ...

<t>Hey all... I still have my ES6 due to its great sounds. It's not really in competetion with my X7; it complements it, and stacked they make an incredible pad! Anyhow, I returned an XS when I bought my X7; the XS sounds about the same as my ES, and...<br/> <br/> * Slow display!<br/> * Slow navigat...

Call 'em up at the La Mesa store- ask to speak to Art in keyboards, tell em Chris sent you. He does $1500+tax all day, and a lot of other pretty sick deals.

<t>Hey all! In the past I've always used a good quality patch cable on my goodies, but I tried a set of balanced cables on the X7, and HOLY SMOKES! They really do make a difference on Fantom's balanced A/B outputs for live listening. I've heard some poeple say it's not a big difference, but... Well,...

<t>Hi... Well, I've owned all three of 'em. Sounds like your price range is $1000. First, let me suggest looking at the Fantom XA- not the best keys, but it does have pad triggers, which can be huge. Great sound on both the Juno G and XA. I have an X7 in the collection now, but it sounds the same. H...
