This is the first Fantom tutorial I have found that actually explains the recording process in detail( I was stuck for a while in pattern mode, as I could not figure out how to highlight & un-highlight patterns, in order to arrange them properly into a group.) Merci beaucoup, mon ami!
Fantastic vid/tutorial SFM! I struggled mightily with these concepts, I still have trouble highlighting the patterns I want to group together, its a PITA to tell if a pattern is actually highlighted or not, I find it difficult to determine when a track is actually highlighted, seems to me that it should be easier to determine that visually. Highlighted tracks don't present themselves clearly enough IMHO. Anyway, I am subbed, Fantom is the heart of my rig, very grateful for this, the other vids and anything you have coming, thanks again.
No problems at all, if you need any additional help please let me know and I will do my best to add it to the list of tutorials I am creating. Please consider subscribing ;) so that you are notified of additional videos being uploaded. There are more videos coming on recording instruments, piano roll recording automation etc…
Thanks. Would you say the sounds from the Montage are superior to Fantom, but the user interface especially for creating with the Fantom is superior? Also do you think the Akao MPC is better than the fantom for creating? Cheers
The sound is always subjective, i can give you my experience and personal view; the montage is for me better sound, better polyphony, better sound transitions and effects. The fantom has problems with polyphony big time, the UI is easier and better to use but it is unfinished in many parts. The montage lacks of a sampler, the fantom has one but it is ridiculously basic… The MPC is somewhere in the middle but I let it go due to too many bugs… The MPC is also very easy to use to create music, easier than the Montage… and in some ways easier than Fantom, but it is not a Fantom or a Montage, more like a studio tool
Hi Leo … thanks for another good video. The reason I came to add a comment to this video was because I just watched a video that asked the opposite question. The question that video asked was since computers and DAWs have become so powerful, are workstation keyboards still relevant?
In my view it depends on what your preferences are… For example I am happy to compose using a daw on my laptop and an external controller. On the other hand if I travel I prefer to have a workstation with me. Of course there are portable controllers and therefore you can take those with you alongside the laptop. A powerful DAW on a laptop with the rights VST3/AU beats easily a workstation nowadays… perhaps it is a bit of a hold fashion ways of working but for me for example there is something I like about composing using a workstation without a mouse or a laptop… a MacBook is really reliable so that is great. I find I generate ideas on the workstation and then bring them to the DAW for serious production work! But again you can do all of that on the laptop with a controller. So I would probably ask, what is your preference? And here is my disappointment with Roland, the Fantom G had a nice sequencer with tons of midi and audio tracks and mouse support, what happened to it? The Fantoms we have now in my personal view are not great when it comes to sequencers, but that is only my personal view.
Specs say it has a 4x 32 audio interface. What exactly does this mean. I have a behringer uphoria 4 in 4 out audio interface by USB so it appears in my daw as 4 audio inputs and 4 outputs. So as Roland calls this a 4x32 audio interface. It doesn't say in or out which is which
Nope, don't need a DAW. 10 years ago I went 100% hardware including a hardware 24track recorder. Computers are not for audio, but for audio/video or graphic design. Computers have made audio recording sterile, perfect and machine like, computers make recordings perfect, robotic...INHUMAN!!! I now hate the grid, and perfectly pitched, performed and timed music, hate it.
@@soundformorereat video but I work mainly w iPad so the MODX makes more sense being that it’s class compliant . I figure I’ll use o e of the samplers and sequencers in iPad .
This tutorial series is gold. Thank you so much!
Thank you

Great and thanks for subscribing… there is a nice video coming on performing live with patterns shortly, plus others on how to edit drums etc.
Thanks a big help appreciated

@@soundformore I would like to have a little more about recording with the mic
Ok will do, check also my last tutorial on how to record a guitar via the mic/line input here..!

@@soundformore thank so much for your help appreciated
You are welcome
Excellent. I’m not going to have to use my reference manual am I……👏👏
More tutorials are coming, I will try my best to answer any questions that viewers have too
Do you need a Daw after watching this?
Thanks. Would you say the sounds from the Montage are superior to Fantom, but the user interface especially for creating with the Fantom is superior?

It has 16 stereo inputs so 32, you can record from each individual 32 zones as well…
Thank you for this video. How to delete a tone installed on the memory of the Roland Fanfom 0 to create more space in the memory?
I create a quick tutorial on it…
How to record in real time record for too many bars say in 200 bars of rythm patterns snd melody recorfing. Will you please explain ?
The latest Fantom has a pattern sequencer not linear, so length of patterns is limited to 64 measures. You will have to split the recording…
I need how to How to play music from USB in the fantom
An mp3? Something you recorded with the Fantom via midi?
Can i complete and entire song with vocals without a computer is it even possible thanks
Yes perhaps that would be a nice tutorial to do… however there are limitations…
@@soundformore what limitations are they
Nope, don't need a DAW. 10 years ago I went 100% hardware including a hardware 24track recorder. Computers are not for audio, but for audio/video or graphic design.
