    Great information channel.....I don't play keyboard but I bought this for my grandsons to learn on.....they are 15year old newbies they have a Yamaha $600 88key simple keyboard.the Fantom 7 just arrived last Friday
    And I am taking it over to their house to inbox and discover together. I will haul it back and forth between our houses. I am subscribing to every channel I can find for help.....Thanks for the help!!! We play contemporary gospel music for church. We are beginners!

    Great Video, the Fantom IMO is the best workstation synth ever and for me my dream keyboard , I have owned the flag ship korg and Yamaha workstations , this is the answer to everythjng I ever wanted in a workstation . I can’t imagine it being better other than multi sampling , audio recording , non linear sequencing and organ modeling ! Haha

    • @Khordmaster
      @Khordmaster  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Really appreciate that Justin! And yeah I agree this keyboard is Incredible!! The features you mentioned would be great additions. Specifically for me a way to arrange compositions more efficiently and effectively as well as the ability to change the default settings for patterns would be huge. Some more customizing options overall. Which model do you own?

    Thanks for posting this video. I currently own the Yamaha MOXF8 and it is not easy to sequence tracks. The Fantom looks a lot easier imo. I was on looking at getting the Montage or the Fantom, I believe I am leaning more towards the Fantom. The board is a beast.

    • @Khordmaster
      @Khordmaster  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So I actually owned both! I ended up returning the Montage because it didn't have the sequencer capabilities I needed. I believe they have since implemented some form of sequencing with an update. I really loved the built in sounds (or I should say scene variants) on the Montage ... But the Fantom is so good and I love it. I've made some real 🔥 on this thing do far and will continue to do so 😎

      @@Khordmaster The workflow seem almost like a DAW. I tried the Fantom 7 at the NAMM Show but I did not really like the synth action but I like the RD 2000 action. So I may go with the Fantom 8 although it is so heavy to take around for gigs. I might just keep using the MOXF8 for gigs and leave the Fantom for studio use.

  • @JeffBoen
    @JeffBoen 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Regarding your edit of Scene A1 to kinda fit your "default" settings. Don't forget that you can also change the startup scene (Menu | System) and set the Fantom to boot up on a scene other than A1. I created an "Improv" scene of my fav sounds/drums for when I just want to sit down and romp, then set the Fantom to start up on that scene so when I fire it up it's always ready for me to just sit down to my favorite improv settings. You could change this if you're working on a specific project and just want to get to that scene immediately without having to scroll around, etc.

    • @Khordmaster
      @Khordmaster  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Omg! Jeff this is such an incredible idea. I’m curious if this will work properly with quantize, loop record etc. I’m gonna try now. If so I will make a video and give you a shoutout. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

    • @JeffBoen
      @JeffBoen 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Khordmaster I just went in and played with mine. Doesn't look like it stores any of the record settings in the scene and I couldn't find any of those settings in the System Menu for the sequencer either. Would be nice if they added that in the 2.0 update since I pretty much always manually set the recorder to Quantize and Wait Note each time. Be nice to be able to set those as default. If you find a way, let me know! Thanks for the tips!

    I understand your new to the Rollin Fantom but I think you already had a Korg Kronos. I'm trying to make a choice, at first I wanted the Montage. But the Phantom seem to be better in the flexibility of recording which is important. I'm looking for the all-in-one Workstation for a reasonable premium price I like the Roland Fantom especially the ability to create music on the Fly or without stopping. the bottom line I want everything in one synthesizer... which is better the Roland Fantom or the Korg Kronos

    • @Khordmaster
      @Khordmaster  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey! I’ve never owned a Kronos although I considered one. I have owned a montage but at the time they didn’t really have a proper sequencer. I think it does now. The Fantom is amazing and they just updated it with some more really amazing sounds. Their sequencer capabilities are great however there are a few workflow features I am still waiting one. Overall I love my Fantom and would absolutely recommend to anyone considering an all in one. Also check out the newly released Korg nautilus. Good luck!

      Unfortunately no way to with just the keyboard... Which is wild because on the Roland fa08 you can. Maybe they'll update it and incorporate. For now you have to connect to a daw and record audio tracks. The good thing tho is u can do it all in one shot

    • @Khordmaster
      @Khordmaster  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha paperweight though?!?!?! ... I hear you there are things I'm hoping (expecting) get implemented. For me the 2 main things are:
      1) ability to change default pattern settings (count in, quantize, tempo etc.)
      2) ability to record USB audio out to my phone so I can live stream directly from the keyboard.
      Overall I'm loving this keyboard though as I learn how to use it.
