BREAKING NEWS: The all-new sounds you can hardly imagine are

[Artemiy]

Have you ever wondered, how can you make your Fantom sound totally different? Have you ever dreamt of a completely new production environment which wouldn't cost like another synthesizer? Didn't you ever think how nice it would be if you could turn your Fantom into a groundbreaking orchestra of amazing, unbelievable and fresh sounds?

2007 update: the new Planet V information is here:

[DogZilla]

Good work A-Man.

Wouldn't a programmable SRX card be just about the sexiest expansion?

how do we receive the discount?

[Artemiy]

lazeeboy:

SRX technology is what it is, it's a ROM wave card with patches, there is nothing more the slot itself supports AFAIK.

Haven't you received my e-mail yet? I've sent it to all Planet F owners. Your mailbox filter misbehaves again! Please send me a personal e-mail ("E-mail us" page at the store).

Agh, you should warned you're in DOES DREAMS mode Reminds me when I had the XP-80 everyone was raving about a sampling SR-JV board...

[The Un-dr.]

Artemio, Sorry for my ignorance, but would you mind explaining the difference between Planet F and Planet V? I'm pretty sure I'll be purchasing Planet V, but I'm curious what Planet F would add to it.

Thank you!

(BTW: did you create these projects all by yourself?!)

[Artemiy]

The Un-dr.:

Planet V and Planet F are very different.

Planet V includes it's own waveform bank (samples and multisamples) made with Roland V-Synth, as well as patches and rhythm kits based only on this waveform bank. Planet F includes patches which are based on Fantom's internal waveform bank, and some bonus samples too. This means, V and F have totally different sounds.

Basically, Planet V includes a greater variety of sounds, simply because there are several times more material in there. But Planet F for now has more patches to offer and even more are coming in two weeks, though Planet V will also have future updates (next version will jump from 72 to 96 patches for sure).

I'd say go for both, because 1) they sound really different 2) the bundle gives you over 10% off both, and you get Planet F for like $15 in result, I think it's too cheap to miss. You can install Planet F into user memory and Planet V on card. Planet F also offers librarian format so you can select only the sounds you need at the moment and mix them with whatever you have in the user bank.

"did you create these projects all by yourself?"

Hey, of course I did! Planet V took me four months of full-time work, I mean it. It really has fantastic sounds inside and many classics too.

artemio

that makes sense, i can't check my mail until i get home
our web filters at work won't let me

can't wait though

[saintjoetheservant]

Artemio-

after reading through the manual, am i right to conclude that i can't use the planet v with my card currently holding my samples

i'll have to load the planet v to another card then resave my samples in number slots that are after the planet v samples?

basically the samples have to remain in the order they were created in for the patches to be able to reference them correct?

if i were to load the planet v samples on my card after my personal samples the patches for planet v wouldn't sound correctly as they would reference some of my personal samples and not the planet v samples

[Artemiy]

Fantom uses numbered sample reference, this has some advantages but also disadvantages. The bad side is, yes, you have to first install Planet V and then your own samples (and use slots from 1000 because I'll be adding more samples in free updates).

[saintjoetheservant]

okay thanks, how can i choose which numbers it starts at
like starting after 1000?

usually when i load a sample and create rhythm kits it automatically chooses the next numbers in sequence
