Hi Derrick, You have used the Roland FA in the past, does it have the same polyphony issue? I like Roland and want to buy one but can't use the fantom o due to issues with polyphony.

Brilliant Video.. Thanks Derrick. I actually refunded my original Fantom 06 because of the Polyphony cuttoff, which i thought was a software bug .. I ended up, believe it or not .. getting a Korg Krome Ex in the meantime, which I was shocked that it has such a great keybed and Im enjoying working in the old style "Modes" .. I was considering getting the bigger brother of the 06, the Fantom 6, but I cant believe Roland have the same Polyphony issue in that as well, which would appear to be a "Feature",. not a bug.. I think I may end up getting either a Nautillus or a pre-owned Kronos .. Thanks for saving me £4000 Derrick.. Blessings

The MPC Key 61 is a sound designer's hardware dream. The layout is just fantastic. People take the MPC Key 61 for granted because there are so many great synths/keyboards out there right now. Years from now people will still want them because it is going to become a classic. I do ambient and coupled with the Wavestate SE + Modwave .. I couldn't imagine living without either one of them.

Excellent video. The reason I like the MODX keys is because arthritic hands handle it better. If I'm gonna drop a board and leave it for 2 or 3 days or put one in a static emplacement it would be the Montage without a doubt. If I'm town jumping, I'm going with the 12 lb MODX in a well padded and blocked gig bag. Quite a bit identical functionality. You kust have to menu dive on the MODX. Of course I have the Plus version with the same memory and stuff.

❤❤Darrick thankyou thankyou. I will not be wasting $3000 on this turkey. What has happened in this industry? I am using a Motif XF and wanted to upgrade. I want a workstation. The Motif XF has 1 whole megabyte memory on the sequencer. What about the Motif XS? Is the onboard sequencer holding more than a megabyte? Yamaha moved to the Montage no on board sequencer. I would guess a Motif XS used would be a great deal. The Roland sounds thin and the organs are squirrelly. I love the Yamaha sequencer and have used them for 20+ years. The sounds are thick the organs great and its what sold me on the Motif in 2000. What the heck are they thinking dropping the sequencer? I talked to Yamaha about it and they said hey just record midi in your computer. I hate this new move! Yes no go on the Phantom sounds crappy whimppy, organs are synthetic sounding. Maybe if you are Question Mark and the Mysterians fine! Darrick do you know anything about the Motif XS? Yamaha has gone totally swish sorry guys....

I have one coming and this is pretty much what I'm expecting from it. I looked at the Nord ones and was horrified by the price, and I also looked at the CP-88 but was sad that it doesn't have enough sounds. The CP-88's 1-to-1 interface was my favorite but ultimately it isn't exactly what I _need_. So the RD-2000 it is...

Hi Darrick. This video speaks volumes. I have used a lot of hardware sequencers such as the xp80 and 50, Triton and now use the Mox8 in my current setup. When I don’t have a drummer, I use the convenient AB sections to trigger beat variations. I use Logic to use my favorite synth plugins. I was intimidated by Ableton to use as a live sequencer because I’m so used to Logic and Pro tools. The only drawback to Ableton is loading multiple songs and sequences to have at your fingertips instantly. The Akai seems to fit the bill for having that instant access to scroll from song to song. I really appreciate that you are have used all of the main workstations and can comment on from experience what their strengths and limitations are. Thanks for helping me make a decision on some hardware that will work inside of my current setup.

I am on the fence about getting a Fantom-0. I don’t play keyboards out, only bass, so the keyboard will stay in my home studio. I have a Keylab 88 MK2, but it doesn’t play sounds and doesn’t have the screen that the Fantom does which is a big plus. Do you have/use Roland Cloud? I’ve had others tell me that having a Fantom and Roland could and only using it in the studio is pretty much redundant with Galaxias and Zenology. Any thoughts there? And as I type this my studio system isn't able to contact Roland Cloud, so they must be done. Great timing! LOL Thanks in advance for any info you can share LS
