Roland Fantom: Exploring FX, Part Three

The FX on the Fantom can be one of the most confusing aspects to understand. In this series, I'll try to demystify it.
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.

Your explanations are just awesome. You know your instrument and you are an excellent teacher. Great work. After I have watched all three videos about the FX on the Fantom I feel very well informed.

[@biggiesmalls7939]

I thought I had a decent grasp on my Fantom, considering I've played with most settings now for a month on it. You have just completely blew the roof right off for me! I can't express how thankful I am that you took your time out of your days to explain any of this. This is beyond helpful, Truly thank you very much!

[@EricWatkins7]

Just wanted to thank you for these 3 Fantom Effects videos. I was starting to piece it all together, but then you really helped me understand it thoroughly. It was a great help, and very well done. I'll definitely be checking out your other Fantom videos. They are seriously a great supplement to all the stuff Ed and the others have out there.Much appreciated!

[@kevanbarrett7411]

Thanks very much for these three tutorials. I was getting very frustrated trying to save effects etc, compared to my Montage. I nearly decided to sell my Fantom 6 and get a MPC 61. I'm well on the way now though to knowing how to add the effects where I want to.😊😊

[@------YeahOK------]

Nobody else on KZbin gets their hands dirty with the Fantom the way this guy does, I would imagine many people would love to see more of this. The official Roland videos 'always' skim over the nitty gritty stuff. Ed Diaz does this everytime it's gets complicated, saying 'I'll do another video for this'. Roland manuals are awful and ZT is our saviour 🙏

[@genxzero9478]

Thanks for this great video. So helpful + well-organized!

[@09camdawg]

Amazing series! Love to see your ideas and combinations on different effects chained together

[@keepriffin]

Your the best ZT Audio.... thank you for making the Fantom so easy to understand. I really appreciate your time.

[@rickdeaguiar-musicreflecti7692]

Love the videos that you are producing for the Fantom. So helpful. Can't thank you enough :)

[@markstein6226]

These are EXCELLENT videos (series of 3). GREAT and clear explanations and very helpful. Thank you!

[@SBboredom]

These 3 videos were very helpful!!! I can’t wait until you do more advanced videos! :) I definitely want to learn more about tone designs on the Fantom. :)

[@pjacks19]

Great video. Well explained. Please keep the videos coming as yours are very informative and you explain everything that is easy to understand. 👍

[@johnnywonka1211]

wow ,your videos are the best in explaining the fantom, good job bro, keep em comming !!!

[@davidheslet7932]

Such a great channel! Where you been??

[@danceclubliveuk5878]

Brilliant tutorial. Thank you. Answered a lot of issues I was having. 👌

[@br2jyk]

Thank you for all three videos…nice job

[@------YeahOK------]

Your Fantom videos are excellent. Very good tutor 👍

[@lukeyd7776]

These videos are GOLD! Thankyou very much!

[@lawrencelougheed]

Thank you so much for this video series on the Fantom FX. Extremely helpful :-)

[@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

Very good 3 part series. The mixer mode also can be used to assign reverb/chorus sends. I would hope the settings would change in the effects edit too when changing from the mixer.

[@eugenephillips481]

Another great video. Thank you!

[@jean-sebastienlantz9164]

Vos videos sont vraiment extraordinaire. BRAVO from Aix en Provence

[@foguponl.a.8291]

thank you very much for your videos. Can we save effects presets independently of sounds (zones) presets ? And thusly browse for presets of any particular effect ? Thank you.

[@MichaelBengel]

Thank you😀

[@hiren1615]

Great Information thanks. Can you assist me with one of the issues I am facing... When I record the scene/ song from fantom to logic, then I am able to record the song but am unable to get the effects (IFX1 , IFX2 ) in logic.

[@reinhardtilker8552]

Hi, first of all thank you for this great how-to series. Before I finally got my Fantom-07 two days ago, I had already spent a few nights here in KZbin's Fantom boot camp. So I'm getting along pretty well with setting up my personal configuration, scenes etc., but one thing really annoys me: After every restart, the 'Audio In' setting (I'm constantly using the Mic input for vocals) is gone and has to be set again. Unfortunately, Roland is not very helpful at that point so, do you know a way to permanently save the 'Audio In' setting?

[@ZTAudio]

Unfortunately, no.

[@gb3496]

So this is how I make the pianos (or any other sound) sound more "full"/"wet"...

[@karlbernd4932]

Is there a way in the Fantom to copy the effects of an scene or an tone to another scene/tone ?

[@tristanmichael2051]

great info, noisy physical keyboard sounds.. are you hitting your keys very hard? as it sounds like your killing them? Ive ordered the 88 version, so hoping the noisy sent so clunky

[@ZTAudio]

I would rate the Fantom7 as "medium clunky" ... worse than a DX-7, not as bad as an Ensonic SQ-80, lol.

[@cochisereyes6251]

How do you acces the bus for aide chaining please tell me

[@davidsteffens3952]

Roland has a lot of nice of zen core sound packs I’ve loaded, the only problem is that I can’t find them once they are in the board. There are so many sounds, and unless I have a list in front of me, there is no way to know what is what. Is there a way to filter sounds by sound pack, or exz expansion, etc? It’s much needed if not

[@domingom2796]

es muy facil de hacer ,pon la vista en una parte o tono solo,busca la expansion que quieras cierra el candado y te saldran solo los tonos de esa expansion

[@seanc1105]

You should put the word Reverb in your title. Its a question many have and there are no videos on KZbin talking about it like you do here.

[@mikemo5520]

Talk about custom drums

[@ZTAudio]

No, lol ... at least not in the near future. Honestly, I make videos about topics that I find interesting. If I ever get to the point where I need to do custom tweaks of the drum kits, I'll probably do a video. I will however, be creating some Linn, DMX and SP12 , etc. kits from samples sometime in the near-ish future. Once I find time to do that, there will almost certainly be a how-to video.

[@mikemo5520]

Cool!!! I enjoy your videos!!! Are you an audio engineer??? Or a keyboard fanatic???!! Keep doing your thing

[@ZTAudio]

@@mikemo5520 I work as an IT Systems Engineer ... that's almost an accident. What I "really" am is an electronic musician who had to find a way to make more money, lol.

[@mikemo5520]

@@ZTAudio nice!!!! Keep up the good work!!! I need you to make more videos... I need to hear the music that you make on the fantom from a electronic musician perspective... see you around!!!!
