Title: Roland Fantom-G new reigning champion.. :) Post by: rharv on January 19, 2008, 05:27:35 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_vyw6TjK2Q&feature=related
Get a napkin to clean up the drooling before viewing. Title: Re: Roland Fantom-G new reigning champion.. :) Post by: kara on January 19, 2008, 06:14:04 PM Looks like a great tool
It was expected somehow that they would release something like that, they needed an answer to the Korg M3, which is clearly the goal.... At least they where smart enough to give it vsti visiblity for your DAW, something that korg overlooked. But then, they don't have karma :) k Title: Re: Roland Fantom-G new reigning champion.. :) Post by: rharv on January 19, 2008, 06:29:56 PM Now to research the scary part- the price!
Title: Re: Roland Fantom-G new reigning champion.. :) Post by: kara on January 19, 2008, 06:52:23 PM I've found it on a couple of dealer sites, but no price >:(
Title: Re: Roland Fantom-G new reigning champion.. :) Post by: folderol on January 19, 2008, 07:03:39 PM Which model?
In the UK the series ranges from 629 to 1499 uk pounds.

I don't see the difference with the M3 here: my Korg M3 sits nicely as a VSTi in my DAW, or am I missing something...??? But, even compared with the M3, a great devive indeed, ready for the competition! (Even without Karma and a touchcreen). I like the mouse connectivity. It probably will sound fantastic too... I'm looking out for the rack version of this one...

Propably the worst demo of a new keyboard I've EVER seen.... k Title: Re: Roland Fantom-G new reigning champion.. :) Post by: rharv on January 22, 2008, 02:35:56 PM Yeah, the way the drums were ringing around and echoing in that concrete environment was terrible.
Funny though, Hannah's demo of the Juno-G is what sold me on it. When I heard him lay his bass track over one of the drum patterns and then play some keys and have the control over it I knew this a board I wanted. The FantomG just expands on that concept (to the extreme) and allows a lot of additional nice features, like mouse,video out, extra tracks, and new sounds. Plus it's 24bit where the Juno-G is 16bit/44. ..then again I only spent $900! I still like it. |
