<t>Kakaroto,<br/> I will offer you my opinions of my experience with the Sumo 300.<br/> <br/> #1. Lot's of Power<br/> #2. Onboard Digital Effects (Versus Spring reverb) Which is superior in my opinion to any vibrations from band/stage moving<br/> #3. Stereo Link availability - allows you to hook 2 (...

<t>Thanks for the responses that have been given, was just curious why there are so many listings for 1GB of Ram on Ebay if you did a search using "Buy" then "Roland Fantom" as search criteria.<br/> <br/> I personally avoid using products that don't "ACTUALLY" match up to known compatability in my e...

Other than obvious storage, are there any benefits to having a 1GB or more CF card?

Thanks

<t>Many Ebay listings have Ram for Fantom S or X offerings.<br/> <br/> The biggest issue is, some are offering 1GB, and all the threads and manual say is that 512MB is MAXED RAM in the Fantom X.<br/> <br/> I know musch like PC's motherboards have a max ram, I believe that the Roland Fantom's MB is 5...

<t>Thanks for asking about the amp Kakaroto.<br/> <br/> I Purchased the Alesis Sumo 300 this year in February due to my OLD Peavey KB300 having all kinds of noise issues.<br/> <br/> If I had to rate the Sumo 300 in comparison to the Old KB 300 I'd say "Good".<br/> <br/> The major benefits of the Sum...

<t>I use alot of .wav files throughout a given night live. <br/> <br/> If I remember correctly there used to be a thread about creating patches from wav files, but I've searched and cannot locate it.<br/> <br/> I remember from another thread something to the effect of "if you want to make a wav file...

<t>Pertaining solely to those of us playing Keys that is.<br/> <br/> Am considering the option of going to In Ear monitoring of my Fantom X6, rather than using a On Stage AMP.<br/> <br/> If any user of the forum currently uses this type of setup for live gigs, I would sure love input on the choices ...

<t>Can anyone tell me or explain how I might be able to power up the Fantom X6, using samples on my CF card only without the drum kit underneath?<br/> <br/> <br/> I rarely change the pads after I power it up and select my samples and assign them to a pad, but I sure would like to know If I can do th...

<t>You might consider taking a look at the Alesis Sumo 300<br/> <br/> Onboard digital effects, 15" and horn speakers, 4 channels stereo inputs, linkable to another for true stereo...not to mention 300 watts rms of power.<br/> <br/> I bought one in January, and love the extra power headroom.

Thanks for all the responses. I have a Alesis SUMO 300 for an amp. 300 watts of power, and last weekend tried using TRS cables on my X6 into the Sumo. NO DIFFERENCE IN VOLUME !!!! Now ... if I now correctly understand, I need to buy DIRECT BOXES in order to get the volume out of the X6? Might anyone...

<r>1.3 Why and when should I use balanced cables?<br/> <br/> The short answer is since the Fantoms main outputs are balanced, if you are plugging it into a mixer, amplifier or powered speakers with balance inputs, then you should use balanced cables - otherwise you will experience a 50% drop in volu...

I may have stumbled across an issue that might solve a problem I thought I had. I just read and want to confirm with any users of a Fantom X series synth, that if you use standard instrument cables from an "X" to your amp, you will loose 50% volume vs. using TRS or Balanced cables. I recen...

<t>All in all, it comes down to simplistic reasoning. Will the rig I decide to invest my money into, do what I want it to do?
