Appreciate you, your videos are vey helpful and informative for Fantom 0 users. They should provide a card with a link to your channel with every purchase

I just looked at my guitar last night and wondered if I could connect it to my fantom....I found your video just in the nick of time.

Fantastic video. Even Roland's own training content on KZread did not answer the questions I had, which you have in this video. Thanks a lot.

This was the absolute best, most concise tutorial ive ever seen on the fantom. Thank you so much for making a video that actually has quick hitting information in a tight format.

So very cool... I just ordered this Fantom and being a guitar player as well... you just made an old man even happier... this is going to be so much fun! Thank you so much for sharing your experience of this board with the rest of us.

Your Fantom 0 videos are so good. Thanks for making them!

Another great video! I keep learning something new to do with my Fantom O after watching. Can’t wait to try hooking up my guitar, running it through the effects and recording to the pads. Cool stuff! Keep it up!

Pretty amazing....Awesome stuff. Thanks mate :)

Thank you for this video. I learned a lot and I like the track you made too. Great video

This video is quite simply outstanding! You made a song, which is what many people are trying on these keyboards. You explained with clarity normalizing, how to set loops on/off, etc. You used the sampler, sequencer and internal sounds as well as a kit downloaded from the cloud. You even explained how to get the downloaded kit into the keyboard. There is so much information packed into this video. I love the practical in depth approach of videos like this. And it is always refreshing to me to watch a video that is not trying to "sell" the keyboard. Not that I have a problem with sales people. Your video showed how a singer/songwriter or live performer who uses backing tracks can really benefit from a product like the Fantom-0. Again outstanding! And yes, I subscribed.

Awesome - good luck! There's so much to learn. We're probably still just scratching the surface.

Swiss knife tutorial FTW!

Nice lesson

Not my style of music but that is irrelevant as your Fantom “how to” videos are incredibly helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make them and share them.

@@contemporarysynth You must do you and play the music that matters to you. It is what I do (when I can) and as you say, your demonstrations are to show how to get the most from a Fantom whatever genre you choose. Thank you again and have a great day.

Yet another highly informative and brilliantly explained video thats opening doors on my fantom. Im so glad i found your channel. Thankyou. Btw do you have a background in studio engineering? Did you record bands or anything? You talk like a guy whos seen a mixing desk or two.

No studio time but many years of working hard with well-meaning volunteers. Someday I'll make it big, though. Maybe just a few more videos!

Thanks for the info! With my current setup I am having the guitar go out to the sub output, and it seems I can only use one effect (amp sim) But I was hoping that I could also use pitch shifting with the amp simulation. I can use amp simulation for the MFX and pitch shifting for the TFX as long as the output is to main, but as soon as I make the output be sub out I lose the ability to use TFX. I'm guessing there's no way around this though

@contemporarysynth

Yep, I think you've found one of the FANTOM-0 limitations. I suspect the big FANTOM offers more options there - I know it has two MFX buses and two SUB OUTs. Still not sure it's worth the extra cost for me, but every now and then I see why people might buy it!

I have got a fantom and i love it but i think the better for reccord a song is for example logic pro. the fantom with logic are the ultimate tool for me Make all with solo the fantom is much more dificult and much more longer also

I completely agree that using a computer makes things easier and more powerful. But it's one more thing you have to bring, set up, and operate if you perform anywhere!

Great video. I'm a guitar player with some keyboard basics (I have a Roland VR-09). Now, I want to buy a Fantom, but I don't know which one yet. Is this also possible with the Fantom 08 and Fantom 7?

@contemporarysynth

10 ай бұрын

Yep. The 06, 07 and 08 are identical except for number of keys. The 6, 7 and 8 (no "0") are also all the same (as each other) except for number of keys. The "0" series - 06, 07 and 08 - have fewer features than the no "0" keyboards. Roland also makes a FANTOM FA-06, FA-07 and FA-08. Same size but with even fewer features - and at a lower cost. With some basic skills you probably don't need the full capability FANTOM, but there are lots of sites that talk about the differences. Good luck!

Good job and well explained. Just something that I cant get to work is tracks 9-16 wont engage. I did what you said and loaded a pad and the drums are always 10 but I have to change the zone to 8 to hear the. The tracks are greyed out from 9-16. Do you have a solution pls.

Very cool arrangement, yet again! I presume you are located in USA. Or are you in Canada? It would be so enjoyable to see you direct your contemporary choir in person. It's a stretch, because I am in central Canada. Just saying, your tutorials and arrangements interest me, and I always look forward to your next recording.

Hope you figured it out by now - but if not, be sure you go to Menu/Effects Edit/Audio In, and select Mic the press the knob to enable Audio In. You might have to adjust the gain knob in the back by the mic input jack, too. So many details! It's powerful but it takes a little time to get it all down.

Hi. Are you familiar with the sampling function. I would like to sample an acustic guitar with articulation and i found in the roland not quite realistic. Also saxophone as well. Could you do a video step by step how to sample batural instrument and turn them as a tone with multisample spread on all keyboard? I prefer Korg orchestra sounds

@contemporarysynth

5 ай бұрын

Good question, but sampling a guitar or sax would be challenging - and I don't think we'd ever get a result as good as all the professional tones that are out there, including some good ones on the Fantom. I recommend checking out some of those, and possibly editing them a little if needed, and save your sampling talents for unique sounds that only you can find or make.

There are some great sounds on the Roland Cloud. I showed a few of them in the video I just posted last weekend on MIDI synths. Zenology Lite is one example, but there are others. Some are even free. If you don't like the Fantom sounds you might not like the online tones either, but it might be worth taking a look.

How does one export the song to flashdrive including the audio ?

@contemporarysynth

Жыл бұрын

Simple question, complicated answer! Most exports are from Menu/Utility/Export. Be sure to have a properly formatted USB drive in the Memory slot. That will also work for Samples recorded "To Storage". For Samples recorded "To Pad" you have to go to Sampling/Pad Sample screen and pick the one you want to save, then click Sample Utility/Export(WAV). Hope that helps!

How long did it take you to learn to work within the Fantom? I've had my Fantom 8 for 2 years and can't find literature that explains what you did in this video. Even the owners manual online doesn't dive this deep.

Hi - I've been at it for about a year, just pushing buttons and trying things out. I agree it's very hard to learn, and once you do learn it's hard to know what to do with all the capabilities. That's why I wanted to share what I've come up with, and why I try to watch anything that other folks put out. Fun hobby, though!
