This was the best showcasing of this unit that I seen so far. Amazing stuff brother...SBN RESONATE

Want one of these so bad. Can't truly justify it as my existing midi keyboard is really good enough for my skill level, but I still want.

[jeffreysaunders]

Brilliant showcase. SO easy to understand, need to do more tutorials

The problem is, each phrase in this demo (and most demos) is played without any lead-in notes before a section, or any ending notes after a section. So, sure, it's easy for the "make song" feature to move his sections around or to start/stop sections, because each phrase [of the lead instrument] is 100% contained within the time-frame of its single section. As soon as you write a melody/riff that comes in _before_ the bar line, or continues a bit _after_ the bar line, the song arranger won't understand that those notes also belong to that section. So it'll cut off those notes when you rearrange the section order, and you'll never be able to actually hear what it would sound like to play your segments in a different order. There needs to be a way to associate/assign those lead-in and trailing notes to that section, so the system can include them when you rearrange sections.

This video is very helpful in explaining how a composer can lay down a quick idea. Unfortunately, it also leads one to understand you still seem to need a DAW to deal with the nuances that exist in every composition. For example, even if you're composing a simple 4/4 pattern but have an 8th note (or quarter note or whatever) lead-in to the song, you can't insert that one note or that one "introductory measure" into the sequence / pattern. At least I haven't figured out how to do it, if you can. But this is a very helpful video and I recommend it to anyone who has just purchased a Roland Fantom.

The grouping demo really solved my frustration of how to put together certain pattern to drop in the song sections. Thanks for showing us how to get ease of use out the fantom 06

The Fantom O series just became available in Canada, though the 07 (which I ordered) should be around by the end of March 2023. While I'll be using it primarily as a lightweight gigging keyboard, to see the ease of use in terms of creating patterns is pretty cool.

This song could be done also in 2004 on an old fantomx, nothin really new, but definitly the performer is Professional!

[Bashanvibe]

Thank you for this explanation!!! This is what I needed to see for when I buy my Fantom I’ll be aware and ahead of the learning curve!!!

[inperfectsequence]

is amazing instrument.

Anyone who is a good musician and wants something of quality at a better price will not find anything better.

I have this cool thing, then I sample what I want like on an MPC and I do my compositions step by step, I can also play live and improvise from the screen and the controls.

This machine is a great jewel, they improved this product line a lot and I really see it great to use it with Logic Pro X and also with other machines like Elektron digitakt, to use the Fantom as a sound module and sequence with Digitakt to record in real time With Logic, it's really a very good machine and the sounds, even if they aren't the best, are perfect to process and improve in the DAW.

Super video ... just answered a myriad of questions i had ... thank you so much!!

[WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

You had me extremely confused at the beginning with the Fantom-6 on the table and not the Fantom-06...:)

[djtransaction]

Excellent tutorial and on the fly music composition. Very well explained. This synth is complex so need to watch multiple times.

[zaziou]

Hello ! Is it possible to load long samples ( about 4min) through the pads ?

[Phantommxr]

Andy needs his own Youtube Channel!! Does he have one??

[Cramz]

When I started on the fantom S I use to do music via step record method I didn’t know about quantize since the Yamaha DJX never had that and to record in real time you’ll have to be real good any mess up and you’ll have to do it over so yeah I started with step time recording since tge Yamaha DJX actually the MTV Music Generator but that’s another story lol

[Janomix]

Hi. How many full songs can store in internal memory? To launch as playback on a live stage? Thank you.

[poison]

I want my melody to come in BEFORE the 1. Literally none of these devices let us do that without taking up an entire section/group just for that pickup..

[hanik]

Can u use sampeled tones or an the panterns you just created in an "arranger mode" ? which means basiclly play back with possibilty to chnaage chords?
