Roland Fantom XR demo (2 of 2 )

[@stevesynth]

Thanks Paolo I just bought one of those but it has display fault and I was going to get rid of it but you convinced me to keep it 😂👍

[@BijouCinema]

No matter what sound , or instrument you play , you always seem to be good at it. I'm sure uve spent a great deal of time working on these videos , but it seems like you magically make it happen. Great job.

[@mysterio77690]

absolutely right! this guy is a magician! great job, and nice quality sounds, as always ;) Regards from Mysterio.

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Ha, thank you - I actually did these videos quite quickly, in real time (you can see I haven't even set up the white balance or added lights, sorry about that) so I only spent 8 minutes or so on it! ;-)

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

mysterio77690 Thank you, I think I'm simply interpreting these great patches. Kudos to the Roland engineers who programmed them.

[@nickguy6820]

He's bilingual -- fluent in music theory and keyboard. Makes for a natural conversation with a synth. :-)

[@100haymaker]

Great sounds but even better playing. Love your chord progressions. They always fit the patch. And thanks for a brilliant site too. Cheers

[@AlexSerenylan]

This is really cool, but some sound very different than on a Fantom Workstation--Morning Rises is almost identical, but Transistor is much less fuzzy and droning. I have been considering this to replace my aging Fantom X6. Do you know why it may sound so different?

[@MrSkywalker1000]

Amazing Padsounds from this Module. Very good played Demo, Thumbs up. :-)

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you and I agree, the pads are quite strong on the Fantom

[@BlixtenMarlowes]

Another nice demo, thanks! :-D Your playing is superb for each sound!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you very much, Blixten

[@fnonaka]

Too beautiful!

[@sugarsmith645]

Great pads, and even better playing (as someone already mentioned 😁). My favourite is Starchild. I have XV-5080, is it possible to reproduce it on that model? If I could get the parameter list for that program somehow (if it is factory program)?

[@EdyGH36]

Theoretically possible. If it also contained Waveform B bank of the Fantom X, the XV can 90% become the latter.

[@petertorda5487]

@@EdyGH36 I doubt it, Fantom X/XR is 4 years newer than 5080 and have double rom size. Even 5080 patch bank for Fantom X/XR (you can download it from Roland) doesn't sounds identical.

[@stevenaustin4591]

what dyou think a good price for one of these would be (in euros)?

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

I would check the completed items prices in your local eBay / craigslist / reverb

[@stevenaustin4591]

@@SynthManiaDotCom been looking on reverb, still a tad pricy atm

[@charthers8903]

That’s the same sounds that are on the Fantom X6?

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

The rack had an extra bank / additional samples IIRC

[@Aristoper]

What's the scoop on the sample tools expansion on the Fantom XR!!? Was there two versions of the XR units? Is something different with the unit or is it just a firmware update to improve functionality? I got a XR recently and has a sticker for it so I'm curious.

[@LeadingMotive]

It's a firmware update for better sampling support. Google for "FAN-XR-UP1". It was sold as a physical set (memory card). After updating the XR, the set could then be sold on to the next eager buyer.

[@berard724]

hi! whats the song you play at swap pad?

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Hi, it's my improvisation, with perhaps a bit of Morricone influence

[@chemaminguez9800]

Hi, do you know how can i change the articulations of strings in fantom XR?

[@bryanarmstrong5747]

Txm txm I don’t think the strings in the Fantom have articulations. If you want articulations, you should look into something like Native Instruments Kontakt and a dedicated string library.

[@babismousikos]

arent there any "natural"sounds ? like accordion strings guitar and so on ? (sorry for my english)

[@petertorda5487]

It does have also normal acoustic sounds, this video, as I understand was focused on bank I, which you have got after upgrade of firmware to version 2.0

[@DarioMoog]

Are these sounds sampled by you?

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

No, by Roland

[@DarioMoog]

Good job Mr. Roland!
