Is the G a save buy?

[jessej]

I think it's a very safe buy.

I mean, I've had my JP-8000 for 10 years and it has served well and still will until it eventually get rid of it.

The Fantom G has a featureset that is well off into the future. I can not think of a situation when the features would run out. Polyphony is enough, 544MB is more than enough for a full live set and any song I ever will produce on it. (My Akai MPC2000XL had a max of 32MB and I could fit all samples for a 12 song live set on it). 24 Audio tracks is enough. Backing up and saving on 4Gb USB sticks is great. 24bit. Enough effects for each patch. Enough and then some of every feature I can think of.

If you run out on features on this machine, I think you have ran out of imagination.

Ofcourse there will be a next model thats faster and has more of everything, but I rather have a well selected small amount of good things than a shitton of crap I don't use.

One thing thou. Why does all USB sicks have to pout out from equipment? They always just look like accidents waiting to happen. Why can't they be inserted sleekly sideways? Thats just a matter of designing the port placement smarter.

I agree for sure about the USB stick "sticking out". On the FP7 they got this right. It's located on the front left side just to the left of the lowest key.

well, yes, I have to agree although memory sticks are getting smaller and smaller. That's why I'm looking for a USB extension cable to put on the top panel. This way I'll have the USB port always at my reach

[Quinnx.]

what about an extension cable for the Input control

Can someone please give me some info about the VST/AV Compatible editor, Like can it be used with FL Studio, I would just like to know as much info about the editor as possible, I just can't seem to find hardly any info about the compatible editor. Or if anyone has any pics or vids of it can you please post.
