phydeaux Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I'm primarily a guitar player who doubles on keys in a 60's/70's cover band. Currently using a Fantom X6 for piano, organ, strings, and brass only. It's definitely overkill for my needs, so I'm considering selling it and getting something a little more practical. I only need a handful of high quality voices with the ability to layer, (in a small package). That's it. No sequencing, sampling, etc. required. Some folks have suggested the XP series. Any thoughts?

SilverDragonSoun Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Keep what you have. You may need the features one day. A bird in hand... Absolutely agree 100%. You wouldn't see much if any profit by selling one and getting another. Personally I feel the fantom X is a great machine that does several things very nicely. There's a good chance that the features it has may beco0me very useful int eh future. I can't tell you how many friends I know who sold things to downsize and in the future they wind up needing or wanting the same type of thing they sold.

b3keys Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 The Fantom has higher quality sounds than the XP series. Keep the Fantom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELP71 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 The debate in terms of sounds/features is just that - a debate. Keep the Fantom... Weasels ripped my flesh. Rzzzzzzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanS Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Layering/split capabilities on the Fantom are killer (up to 16), and triggering samples from the pads is handy as well, keep it.

RABid Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 ... I only need a handful of high quality voices with the ability to layer, (in a small package). That's it. No sequencing, sampling, etc. required. .... You're not going to find anything like that. They don't make a keyboard with just the four sounds you mentioned as that would limit the target market. Even the XP has a sequencer. Within the price of a FantomX you are not paying that much for the sequencer and extra sounds. The biggest part of the cost beyond the basic shell and engine is the quality keybed and the screen. The screen makes it very easy to set up layers and performances, with it sounds like you want.

MortenJ1642607708 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 The only way to only get the sounds is to buy Rolands new soundmodul SonicCEll and a midi keyboard that will cost $1000 Access Virus TI keyboard,Alesis ION,Korg Radias,Korg MicroX,Roland JD 990,Roland SonicCell(?),Yamaha Motif ES 6.
