- This video starts with a performance and analysis of vocalist Stacey Kent's beautiful orchestral arrangement of That's All. Then I show how I created some FM piano sound scenes on the Roland Fantom keyboard.
This is great. Thanks for the video! Beautiful sounds (and arrangement on that song)
Thank you very much!
Beautiful.
Your patches are so dreamy!!! I’m going to have to copy some of these on my Fantom!!!
One thing I neglected to mention in the video is that I have installed quite a few extra sounds into my Fantom. I installed mostly the free ones offered by Roland. Some of the Tones I discuss in the video are extra sounds downloaded from Roland.
Great song
I didnt realise Roland had FM synthesis. Sound good.❤
I have a MODX by the way
No! The Fantom doesn’t have FM synthesis. The FM piano sounds are all sampled sounds. But they are very good.
fantom does have FM synthesis ! i believe its called XMOD2 (or XMOD1) in the Zencore engine. But its only one carrier and one modulator (2 Operators) , but you can use like any waveform ! and stack a whole lotta 2 OPerators :3@@tkrdennis
I guess I was wrong! Thanks Don Leino. I’ll check it out.
your welcome enjoy@@tkrdennis
Thank you for sharing your multitimbral FM patches!
I put them into my Fantom and they sound great.
**The only tone I couldn't find was the "Tine MK 1 Trem 1" which I think is from an expansion pack. But there were a few suitable alternatives within my Fantom.
Thanks again!
Hi David. Sorry for the delay. I don't spend a lot of time monitoring my TH-cam channel these days. Yes, the Tine MK1 Trem 1 Tone came from an expansion pack. Roland offers quite a few free expansion packs and I have installed many of them in my Fantom. I also recently purchased and installed the major EX upgrade package ($199 U.S.), and I may do a future video on it. Even with that installed plus numerous expansions, I still have quite a bit of free memory available in the keyboard. I feel that Roland gave us a nice amount of user memory in the board.
@@tkrdennis Thanks for responding. I also added the EX upgrade and have really enjoyed the German Piano and some of the JD800 presets--especially "Crystal EPs.'
Thanks.
Hi Dennis! Just happened to hit yr TH-cam videos & I'm mersmerized by yr keyboard skills!! Expected this from a much younger player, but wow! You've become my idol, my man!! I'm currently 63, going to 64 - an intermediate keyboard player, but truly inspired by yr repertoire of oldies in all your videos. Hv a few Qs, which I hope you can answer me in selecting a suitable synthesizer to augment my Yamaha Clavinova CVP. 1st: Notice you switched from a Yamaha Modx 7 to now a Roland Fantom. Any reason why? Q2: Where do you get yr drum rhythms for yr songs? Did you program yr own drum patterns or you import from some website or source? I'll be following yr videos closely, my man!! Keep on Rocking!!👋👋🙌
Love the Anita Baker chords in the intro
What keyboard sound is this?
Brilliant Dennis! What effects (e.g. delay) are you using on the different sounds?
I always add some reverb to my tones and scenes, and occasionally delay. As I discuss in this video, I also use chorus effects sometimes. Other than those basic effects, not much else. I probably need to explore effects in the board more. I think there are roughly 90 effects to choose from, and most of them are quite good.
That arrangement is beautiful., so soulful! I have the Fantom 7 do you feel the action is a little loud? I have been thinking about getting the 8 instead. Anyway, I am going to sub to your channel, I love the style of music you play... right up my street!
Thanks Echo. I love the action of the Fantom 7. It’s a little noisy but i find it very playable. Thanks for the kind words.
Thanks for the video, great playing and voicings! Can you share your lead sheet, please?
Thanks Anton. The only lead sheet I have is the one I display on screen in the video.
Sound is weird on 3 and 4 on mine, can someone help me if knows how to fix it, please🙏
Hi is there a way the the Yamaha Motif sweet flute sound can be created on the roland Fantom? I was trying to find the voices on the Motif rack that make up that Patch.
I haven't found a good flute sound on the Fantom, but it's not really something I would use much. Good luck finding one!
@@tkrdennis thanks for your response back.😃
👌
Hi Dennis, very abrupt edit at 9:30 mins. Dunno if you intended this as you missed out zone 5 explanation. Enjoyed the playing and tutorial very much, thanks.
Hey Sunlight. Yes, that was very sloppy editing on my part. I'll be more careful in the future. Cheers!
What is best keyboard overall?
Hey Razeu. Impossible to say! My previous keyboard was a Yamaha MODX and it was excellent. I sold it because a) I had had it for about 5 years and I was itching for a change, and b) I was never crazy about the key bed feel. The Roland Fantom synth action (on the 62 and 76 key models) is excellent, IMO. Some years ago I had a Nord Stage 2 and it was also an excellent keyboard. The current Nord Stage 4 is a great keyboard but very expensive. I can't really answer your question because "best overall" is subjective, meaning we all have different ideas of what sounds and features we like. Your budget is another obvious factor that would determine what keyboard you might buy.
