Roland Fantom: SuperNatural Secrets, Part 3

THE RULES:
1. Discussion is encouraged, but please stay on-topic: If the video is about a particular feature of a device ... discuss that feature, not some other feature you don't like. Off-topic posts may be deleted without notice or recourse, at my sole discretion.
2. Critical, thoughtful commentary is also encouraged. It doesn't have to be all "happy talk" Bickering and overtly hostile posting will be dealt with quickly ... the delete button and ban-hammer are used when necessary.
3. This is an amateur effort. Keep that in mind. Comments about how I should have done something differently are not helpful. If you want to show me how to do it better, please link to YOUR videos where you do so.

Another good video. I always appreciate your videos and the way you present the information with clarity (and examples).

[@MacLamar]

Thank you so much for covering the Fantom's Super Natural sounds so well. I have learned a lot from these 3 videos. Much appreciated.

[@musicalengineer]

Thanks for all these videos... I've been binge-watching these since I bought a new Fantom - right before Covid isolation started - so I'm picking up a lot of tips and tricks from you while we shelter-in-place. Very much appreciated! Thank you.

[@groki30]

Ditto that!!! Awesome tutorials - thanks

[@jeremyl5509]

Another great video. Keep them coming. Thanks!

[@marctronixx]

This one was really good. Appreciate you bro!

[@bartheman1]

Just love the way that you explain the technical stuff. And bring it down to layman terms. Thanks for that... Wondering why no one seems to be talking about how this unit handles audio input from the back panel (line or mic inputs) as routing goes or use of effects and is it possible to route them out to any specific output... Would be nice to have a video on that topic... Cheers and keep up the good work...

[@groki30]

Did you create any SuperNatural articulation (individual sounds) videos yet? Apologies if you have - just haven't located them. Coming from a Jupiter-80 to Fantom-8 I was very keen to view these videos - thanks again😀... Pete

[@mikemo5520]

Great

[@TheAceReviews]

I find the orchestral sounds on Mantage more natural sounding than the Fantom's. The Fantom's sounds muffled and artificial. Can you edit them to make them sound better? What has been your experience? I would like to recreate movie orchestral songs (e.g. Lord of the Rings ost). Thanks!

[@alfredantrobus1702]

Thanks for your tutorial. Excellent presentation and content. I’m looking forward to the next detailed ‘supernatural’ ideally about distorted electric guitar sounds. AGA

[@ZTAudio]

Alfred Antrobus Sadly, there are no SN guitars in the Fantom, just PCM. Hopefully that will get an update.

[@alfredantrobus1702]

ZT Audio Yes I discovered that after your tutorial. Looking forward to your next video.

[@lonniechance7901]

Great presentations! Always appreciate and watch your insights. Sometime in the future do you plan on covering how to edit effects? Still having trouble wrapping my head around the process. Good vibes!

[@ZTAudio]

Yep. I am trying to think of the best way to present a video or two on FX. The FX are extremely FLEXIBLE, and with that flexibility comes COMPLEXITY. It's not rocket science, but there are a few concepts to grasp that are not immediately intuitive.

[@zarkocukelj4022]

I need to control Pads Kbd Sw Group with external midi pad controller Is that possible..??? Thanx a lot Best regards from Croatia

[@thomascook2535]

Hey ZT Audio are doing more video of Fantom? cause didn't see one from long.

[@FugaziSB]

Thanks for another great video, I assure you there are many people who finds these tutorials useful, so please, keep the coming if you can. I already wrote in a Facebook group my grant about these SN sounds and also other sounds i find in fantom. I'm used to check the switches on the left side of the keyboard as I thought they would unleash all sort of "surprises" or at least some expressive options to the sounds, and In Fantom I didn't find that. The sounds feel somewhat dead to me without some useful variations that you can add while playing. A synth - at least for some of the sounds, is supposed to be played with your right hand, leaving your left hand to add character and color to your sounds while playing, which makes all the difference between a Piano and a synth. I was even more pissed off to find that even the SN sounds don't allow me to use some real time controllers to activate the SN articulations which basically makes these SN sounds useless. I understand that there is an option to assign the different controllers only within a scene, is that correct? I think you mentioned that you are going to show this in another video, is this available already?

[@rasmusjvindnielsen253]

Interesting bit, where you make your electric bass model sound more like its being played with an e-bow than a pick. Makes me wonder: How "weird" can you get with the supernatural engines in the Fantom? I had an Integra-7 for a while, which - at least in my hands - couldn't get very weird at all. I should say that my entire conception of what physical modeling is good for was shaped forever by the commercial blurb that came with the Yamaha VL-1/VL-7 back in the early 90's. Something like: "Imagine playing a 200 ft. glass pibe with a bow made out of lama's hairs - only your imagination sets the limits". Well, the VL-7, which I got years later, didn't quite do that, but it did do some really weird digital-sounding chaos, which I liked a lot. Ever since then, I've been hoping for a next-gen version of that. Would you say that this version of Supernatural - which seems to have more control than in previous iterations - could get me there (or part of the way)? Cheers, and thanks for focusing on an otherwise overlooked aspect of this very interesting beast.

[@bahramshamloo]

Hi, I'm one of your fans and I had a request. Is it possible your make a video about step LFO1 and 2 curves? Grateful

[@ZTAudio]

I haven't really explored that feature. But if I do, I'll likely do a video.

[@bahramshamloo]

ZT Audio Thanks🙏🏻

[@Talentocubano]

ZT Audio I am doing to you for this question about the Fantom How do I copy and paste a 4 bar part in the same clip in the edit piano roll. Why do I come to you because I did ask the same question in roland support video channel in youtube and nothing yet . there are more people that wants to know about. thank you.

[@ZTAudio]

The topic of this video is "SuperNatural Secrets". I don't address off-topic questions. If I ever get around to making videos on editing sequences, I'll be sure to address this issue.

[@fahimdawer]

I have question if you could answer .....in my Roland Juno D's while using ARP I can select what part to be arpegiated among the 16 tones......so can one select one part or (zone) or range of keys to be arpegiated in this keyboard......or this arpegiate the whole scene ......I use this technique for bass so only the lower part is arpegiated while playing melody....

[@ZTAudio]

I don't have a Juno D.

[@fahimdawer]

@@ZTAudio na dear I was asking that can you apply ARP to any one zone in a scene or not in your Fantom?

[@ZTAudio]

@@fahimdawer This video has nothing to do with arpeggios. I don't answer random, off-topic questions.

[@DimapicStudio]

Zt can you please show us how you assign variation tones in supernatural patches in the fantom to the s1 and s2 switches.this one is beating me.there is no video that show how. Or is it a controller number I am missing thanks

[@ZTAudio]

I'll get to it, not sure exactly when.

[@DimapicStudio]

Working on it too

[@SunlightOfTheSpirit]
