Hey folks,
I quit doing my studio projects about 10 years ago to do some publishing and figure sculpting but recently a label has approached me to reissue my early material and release a CD of new material. I told them it had been ages since I even thought about music but they were still interested and I started thinking that it would be a good break from sculpture for a while. So I've been looking at synths and I'm really attracted to the Roland Fantom X series sampler/workstations. Likely the x6 for price reasons - other than key number is there a difference in the operating systems on them?
Has anyone upgraded the sample memory on one of these? It says the sample rom is expandable to 544MB of DIMMs, where do you get the memory - is it normal PC memory cards from best buy or other PC outlet?
Overall what do you think of the Fantom Xs? Is there a better all in one synth/sampler/workstation that can be used for everything from ambient/darkwave to symphonic & orchestral? Thanks for any thoughts you might have!
