I'm currently looking into investing my dollars in a Roland Fantom X6 over a Korg Triton workstation. How are the synths and drums in the Fantom and is it user freindly? Is it worth the money?
Trusty said:Yeah, I think you may have bought into the Yammie hype. Remember, Yamaha makes good jet ski's and sissy motorbikes, not production gear. Read the manuals...they get their sproting goods and their production gear manuals confused sometimes. The Fantom X is the best SOUNDING workstation on the market. THey really up-ed everyone with the thing. It has the most expressive new patches in any synth. The Roland synth sounds have always been the best, imo, but the 'realistic' instruments emulations are letter perfect...even over Kurzweil. This is the one...if you want a workstation....and the sequencing and the skip back sampling make it all the more over that convoluted Yammie board. And Korg just about stinks all around in general.

oh god. so before the fantom came out everything was hype and everything was wack right?
geez. you guys go to the extreme to make a point of the superiority of a product. to berate a motif and triton just to make the point of the fanto being more powerful. geez.
personally i think that the fantom x is the 50 caliber in the land of the m16 but that in no way means that the predecessors were inadequate. check the credits of some of the best out there. the fantom will now join the motif and triton as an upcoming studio mainstay but dam the motif and korg arent all hype. really. i dont get all the gear bashing.

Not at all, before the fantom came out there was the mighty XP80/60. Remember, it may seem that the world is only full of rap producers, and yes, I am one of them, but there are many of us who do produce hip-hop, and producers of other genres like dance, techno, pop, etc that have never, EVER liked the korg and yamaha stuff.
