Playing live. Creating tracks. Main keys. Aux keys. Drum machine. Doing concerts. Playing for church. Running stem tracks. Everything you can set with other separate keyboards you can do with this key

I use different keyboards based on the and need of the scenario. This is the Roland Fantom 06. 61 key synth

Thx, @hg3369

how2playgospel@gmail.com - Email me a suggested list of tunes you'd like me to base the sound pack collection around.

@@how2playgospel just sent an email to you bro! Thanks and appreciated! If you’d be able to name the patches you used on “the day” that would be great as well 🙏🏻

🎶🎉. You’ve got a great board. I’m glad my video was able to help

Suggestion find a song that you plan to perform or learn to perform later. Pay attention to what sounds are being played. Write it down as best as you can describe it. Then go to your keyboard and try to make a combination based on the tune your are referencing. You can go back and forth between listening to the record and your custom created sound to get them as close as possible. Bonus tip: ask yourself if you were the musician that played on then record, what would you have done differently? Make those adjustment to have a version of the sound you would have played for the artist given the same opportunity to re-record the original record.

thank you

The original video that this is a walkthru for has an overhead video angle. The video is labeled " David Booker plays So Fine by Mint Condition on a Korg Kronos" - ua-cam.com/video/QhWAcae5J2s/v-deo.htmlsi=a16TLQWmX9Ic0DEw

I always suggest going out to play the physical keyboards you consider buying. For most show environments where I perform, I can pick between the internal pianos and get thru the show with no issues. I would love to have the flagship Fantom too - to take advantage of the dedicated 128 note polyphony allocated just to the VPiano, but you won’t be disappointed with the 0series. Plenty of sonic options and super customizable with the on board EQ, effects, and limitless layering combinations.

@@how2playgospel thanks a mill for your quick response! Are you planning any tutorials where you are customizing piano sounds on how to get best out of it for let’s say gospel & r&b? That would be really helpful

@@how2playgospelFor some reason the piano Grand XV sounds very different in my board the 08. Would you be able to name the patches youve been using? Thanks appreciate!

@@roderickalbus5818 velocity curve on weighted semi-weight keys will have a different sound/playability than synth keys.

@@how2playgospel thanks! You pointed me into the right direction… Managed to adjust this in the settings!

It's still the wild-west between hardware synth companies on how many digital inputs provided via USB into our DAWs. The most recent The Fantom and Fantom0 series allows simultaneous import of all 32 channels at one time (16 stereo pairs). Kronos 2 allows a single stereo pair. The Nord Electro 6, seems to only allow USB for USB-Midi (or to tether to the patch editing software) No digital audio tranfer for firmware version 1.20.

You have about 2 GB of memory allocated just towards your sample data. So if you already have access to Drum samples that you like to use your production, you can load those into your drums. I would even locate your favorite drum samples on a thumb drive and then load him as needed.

@philipslade6810 new drum feature I found would be an excellent response to your earlier question. For every mappped drum kit, you can use the six knobs below the display screen to 1.adjust the pitch

2. Turn on eq 3. Adjust 3 bands of eq. The mindblowing thing is that this six can apply those different settings for each individual mapped drum on that given set. Practical example. Say you want to tune the Tom’s on a particular drum kit be a major triad in the key of your song? Imagine you like the kick but you wish it was to pitched two semitones lower? Imagine you like the hihats but you like them to be more silent - you can turn up the high for just Gb1,Ab1, and Bb2

Many thanks for your detailed response. Sounds awesome.

The keyboard has 16 MIDI channels (one per track). in your Mixer/Sequencer window its numbered 1-16 from top to bottom - the sounds are automatically assigned 1-16. You can create a blank song (or multi mode set) with your 16 selected sounds,

The other option is to set them to the midi channel intentionally. For instance - do you want sounds one and two playing simultaneously? set both sounds 1&2 to the same MidiChannel. (Say midi channel 2). Whenever you select drumPad 2 in the quick select Mode, your two instrument patches will be available on the keys. The only limitation is you only have 16 total patches to mix and match this way. On the later iterations of Fantom keyboards, you now have 16 Keyboard Groups which mix and match any of the 16 patches giving you more layering options. But for the sake of having one patch at a time that you can quickly switch between 16 sounds for a given, show - This keyboard is seamless.

Happy new year

You might need to consider getting the flagship Fantom instead. IMO. This product is intended to be a lot of things. Pattern playback, rhythm section for rehearsal, discrete drum machine, sample player, sampler, pattern recorder, talk box/vocoder, entry level synth editor, tone wheel organ). Most of the modern synths can handle layering 2-3 instruments at a time without noticeable note stealing. We only have 10 fingers, so For music that requires more note playback, like a classical concerto - you are rarely gonna play more the one sound at a time. Synths historically are known more for Phatt sound and larger sonic palette and less polyphony; whereas Digital piano as none for more polyphony but feature options. This is the budget friendly option from the Fantom series. The Fantom 6-7-8 all have the V-piano with its separate polyphony. Modern computers and soft synths have affected our expectations of modern synths. Imagine this board has 265MB of expansion memory and 2GB of sample memory. Most computers from 2011 have a minimum of 8GB of onboard ram. So for the cost of creating a standalone tool that does most of the of what it takes a DAW on a high power computer to do, polyphony isn’t a huge concern for me. Polyphony in-general is only a playing live challenge. Hopefully my video shows you a means or splitting the keyboard in a way that you aren’t mixing out your available polyphony while playing. Note are boards for twice the cost - that has significantly lower polyphony (1-8 notes total). Other manufacturers have a higher have no polyphony cap - but their are live performances boards only with no internal sequencing options. If you intend on getting a single board to replace the unlimited polyphony of say an acoustic grand piano, this isn’t the only board of choice. But if you need one board that can handle most of the variety ask you want to throw its way, you can’t govern with this one. The few things it doesn’t do well - are in the flagship model.

@@how2playgospel thank you !

@bashanvive - I recorded 30 minute of footage based on the tune you mentioned last week. Haven’t made time to edit it yet - around my show prep schedule. Maybe this weekend I’ll get to post some of it.

Still wanna do a joint video. I learned the bass part and the guitar part so we could jam out.

I did first day of video capture with a mobile phone camera in low light. The second day I used lighting TR- REC Loop recording. Let me know if those videos are less blurry Be clearer

I’m checking to see if there’s a way to send the Roland LED Screen direct to video monitor. Haven’t found a viable solution yet

Found an iPhone video solution. I tested it last night. If all goes well I will redo this walkthrough on UA-cam live in the next few days

I will focus on sequencing related topics in the upcoming video series. I just filmed it last night. Since you mentioned “be young be foolish” I used that song as the material for the sequencing cover

We should do a joint video cover of the Tams hit. I’ve been playing the song on bass & guitar 🎸 when you mentioned it

@Bashanvibe - that’s cool. I spent some time playing on a Flagship model this part weekend…completely unplanned opportunity, it happened to be the backline keyboard for a fill-in event I participated in.

That must have been really fun to play “be young be foolish be happy” with the actual Tams. I read your post and went in the garage to play the song on guitar real quick. The larger party band I accompany did that song a couple of times for the 2023 wedding season. Sidebar: I forgot to share one performance tip with the first corporate band setup as shared. Since it’s set up to have one sound for each of the 16 channels, I can layer any combination of those 16 sounds on the fly while the song is happening. Using the “zone select” features. I believe the same functionality is available on the flagship model too

Great question. I haven't personally tried that scenario with this synth yet. Off the top of my head, I believe it's possible. Thanks for presenting me with a new challenge to discover more of what this keyboard might be able to do. But just so we're attempting to recreate the scenario you discribed, please provide a little more detail, or maybe even an existing example from another synth or DAW that already does this feature - so we're can do an A/B comparison on the results.

On the Fantom, sadly, you can't make custom arpeggios. And it doesn't know the pattern shift trick based on the played chord, it is not an arranger synth. However, JD-Xi, Juno-X, Jupiter-X/Xm can do this.

You're right, although you can use the step filter to emulate an arpeggio which achieves a similar thing. But I do wish you could create your own arpeggios tho'​@

If I can borrow an FA from one of my friends or get the company to send me one in the mail, I could do some product reviews and Tutorials specific to the FA. I used to use that synth at a church I used to play for before the 2020 quarantine.
