it really is very simple, and it takes a clear simple explanation like yours for some people to understand it. My only beef with Roland is that I wish it was a full 16 by 16 grid of patterns....right now, as is, it is an 8 by 16.....I am surprised they haven't added this on any of the updates so far. They DID address the number of measures allowed and they did unleash ALL possible time signatures, so they have made some strides since the original release.
Thanks DrGargani. your right not much update on Fantom. I am tending to explore new EX update soon. There is 16 view for Pattern but unfortunately it does not work the way 8 view works. So Fantom still needs a lot of updates.
@@RolandMusics but it's not just the view: on my venerable Motif, there are 16 parts, each of which have 16 sounds.....Roland Fantom has only 8 parts, each with 16 sounds. The new EX upgrade addresses adding some new synth engines with new sounds, as well as a new piano, but it doesn't enhance the sequencer at all. Problem is, so many "younger" (lol) guys use DAW....I am old school and still use the master keyboard to run the sequencer, and I have a 32 track Korg digital recorder which serves as my mixer. At some point I will switch to my Fantom as the main Keyboard, but was hoping they would increase the sequencer before I do that.
Does the Fantom sequencer allow a person to record a song in it's entirety without patterns and looping? Will the Fantom act as a multi track recorder in the sequencer like older models used to do? Or does the Fantom NOT do that type of recording? Will I have to get a multi track recorder to record my songs from beginning to end? My songs do not have patterns that loop or repeat over and over. My songs are old school style with an intro, verses, bridge, chorus and so forth. Please help me to understand this sequencer on the Fantom. I have a Fantom 8 but I don't grasp the concept of the sequencer. Thanks for anyone's help and info.
@@daroanvimusen I have actually already seen this video. But he is using a Fantom 0, not the Fantom 8. I don't know if the sequencing is the same on the 0 series as on the 8, 7, 6 series. I guess I could re watch it, but obviously it didn't make sense to me then so I doubt it will again.
The reason why I would not buy a Roland. Seems to me, that playing is only a sequencer-thing. Yamaha is way more flexible by scenes, arpeggios and motion sequences. Therefore the Yamaha sequencer is crap and Roland's is a nice piece.
Lets say you build the song up - spend a lot of time on it, then you take a break / turn off the keyboard and want to come back to the exact same thing, can you help me understand that workflow please
Many thanks Vincent very short and clear.

So you have to record the song then play it back not like Yamaha?
Yes you are right it's different from Yamaha.

Good question. You must press "Write" and save the Scene. So you will save all recorded Pattern and Songs.
@@RolandMusics brilliant thank you so much sir
