Great walk through and inspiration for anyone looking at creating an orchestral piece. Not to take anything away from this video, it is sad that strings on the Fantom seem so lacklustre, they just don't have that bite or depth unless you use samples. Wish the Fantom had a dedicated string engine - I'm sure the boffins at Roland could do it - rather than constantly reselling sounds from the 80's - the processing power in this beast is well capable of it.

The axial website which is connected to the Roland cloud account does have some very convincing string and orchestral sound palettes. I used to own both expansion boards back in the day. Now you can just add them to your Roland. You might be surprised at how realistic they are.
