Cannot you build it using the terrific amount of things we already have....?

[Per]

Yes! Selecting partials is a small thing but going to be so much nicer now, and will make tone editing and creation so much quicker.

The new multisampling looks pretty comprehensive at first glance though I didn’t see any round-Robin/random sample play option which would have been extra nice. Still nice progress there.

Fingers crossed for per partial/zone arpeggiator and arp sequencer in a coming update, as well as tonewheel and ABM, wavetable etc fun stuff. But looks pretty good so far, could do with less sequencer updates.

You can but not efficiently. The issue is that once you start filling up those partials and zones for each drawbar and tieing them to the slider controls you very quickly run out of polyphony, and on top of that anything that uses those sliders seems to be buggy when loading the patch back in.

A drawbar or tonewheel sim could do it using just a single zone with probably a lot more polyphony and probably a nice UI to switch to control it via the sliders. Without an actual API Roland can just do a better job than us using the Zen-Core system.

[FGM]

Enjoy, and when you are done with the clonewheel, let us have a listening, please.

Nice Update!
Also a new Pad Mode: Group Play, this is fantastic
Good work Roland :)
what I miss is multiple Clip or hole Row selecting,copy/paste function in the Sequencer but lets wait for the
next Update...
Good Vibes out to you Fantom Fam, lets create some good music...

yes polyphony is lacking badly in the Fantom I really hope it gets boosted, right now voice stealing is a common occurrence even under a very moderate load.

[FGM]

The issue related to the start scene being attentively saved to A001 is fixed.
Great !!!!

[FGM]

Really nice deep black with wallpaper at 1; red, green and blue [we better care our eyes] at 0, and alpha at 255.

[TokyoScarab]

I'm really happy with this new update so far! The sampling mode to keyboard is something the Fantom has been missing since launch and it's here and seems very well implemented so far. I did notice one thing that gets me a little hype though. They completely reworked the UI for the MFX sections. They very closely resemble the Zenology style and flow. I can only assume and hope that this means they'll add the model expansions to the Fantom line like they've been cryptically teasing for a couple months now.

Again Waveform search missing, I have create no one user tone that utilize samples because the waveform search is impossible, I’ve only modified an existing tone (because here there is a search function) and created VA tone .

I think perhaps this might be available anytime before Ver99.0 arrives...

In the meantime, I can help with a list...being in pdf format the search is really easy.

Waveform listing available from page 62.

Thank you mister ...I know very well this PDF file, but I must search waveform by type and name in order to be creative, also this file don’t contain the 15 waveform expansion so the search is very very very limited.

At the actual state I only search for needed tone - modify it . and save as user tone

[Perplextor]

I‘am very pleased with the update.
