CEB Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Does the Fantom G have any disadvantages or shortcomings vs the FA-06?

Bill W Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 The Fantom G is a better keybed and can multisample. As far as shortcomings vs. the FA-06, it would be the sounds. The G cannot take any of the SRX boards, but the FA-06 can load up to 2 at a time (and they're all free now from Roland as downloads). Edit - I missed "pad sampler" in the title....

CEB Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Thanks, I want a decent synth keybed for my rig. I need a SP404 type sampler. I like the sample editing on the Fantom. I'm considering replacing the FA 06 with a used Fantom G. I was considering the JP80 but I would still need the FA06 for the sampler or need to buy a SP404SX.

DanL Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 There is a considerable load time for the samples on the Fantoms. I had a Fantom for a while and a 256mb sample chip took several minutes to load at boot up time.
