Roland XV & JV Power User Tips - Excellent reference for Fan

[Lawrencew]

FYI, the first part of the absolutely excellent Sound-on-Sound magazine masterclass - "Roland XV & JV Power User Tips" -has now been put in the free zone on the SoS website

http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/nov03/a ... 465f8e3bc8

This is a 4 part highly detailed masterclass on all aspects of the XV sound engine - and hence is highly relevant to the Fanton-S and X. There are excellent sections to come on patch and performance programming for example.

If you can't wait another 3 months for the other parts to unfold, you could always subscribe

Hi Lawrence. Long time no see, nice to see you again.
I had forgotten all about this. Someone, I think gtds, mentioned this before. I appreciate you making this post to remind me/us. I will check these out for sure.

Thanks for this link, Lawrence!

Thanks for the link Lawrence. I'm an SOS e-subscriber. They offered it to me this year for $24 US - a fabulous deal, especially since those guys at Keyboard raised their per issue price to $6 US off the newstand.

Just a quick plug for the SOS e-sub. It's really a great value IMO.

Cool! Thanks for the link, Jim!

So I quickly glanced over part two tonight. It did not seem to have much usful information for the Fantom but I could be very wrong about this with my quick glance. I did follow the www.synthzone.com/roland.htm link which I have not been to in quite some time and thought it was great that they are so on top of things that they had the following listed:

· Fantomized.info
A great Fantom user site with tips, related files, live chat and discussion.
· Fantom-S - Artemio's Website
Provides patches and sysex files for the Fantom-S.
· Fantom Fan
Fantom-S & Fantom-X info, tutorials and resources.

I'm famous

...I worked hard through the years on most of these XV5080 topics described in the articles.
Why didn't someone tell me earlier that these wonderful pieces of paper exist ?
It's absolutely great (as great as the XV5080 is).

Is there a possibility to get more of masterclass articles (e.g. about Fantom S/X/XR, Midi-Setup, Mastering, ...).
I would be very interested.

[FatBoyJim]

Don’t feel bad. These articles are pretty new. If you subscribe to SOS you could have had them 6 months or so ago when they first came out but if you aren't a subscriber you have to wait this 6 or so months to have these articles for free.
Sorry but I don’t know of any other articles like this for the XV-5080. I can see why you would want more. I appears to me that the XV-5080 was a beast but that it was rather hard to completely grasp. It really makes me appreciate the changes that Roland made in the Fantom-S/X to simplify things.
