Gear Lust IS a thing!

Hello All,

Hope life for all of you is near normal now. As some of you'd know I have two keyboards since the past 2 odd years - a Korg Pa700 and a Juno DS 88 keys. I am a hobbyist and mostly play at home.

I haven't really gone deep into either of these boards mostly due to lack of time and inertia in learning the workflow. I have a request to all of you - I need you guys to talk me out of buying the Roland Fantom. Yup, I have set my sights on this machine since the past 2 years and the new n/zyme engine makes me want this toy. I know there is a cheaper Fantom 0, but I want the original Fantom.

I had really wanted to buy the Korg Kronos in the days gone by, but somehow didn't get around to it.

The 9 sound engines in the Fantom plus the fact that I can afford it makes me want to buy it just for you know, having the flagship keyboard finally.

Please help!

You have two chances of me talking you our of buying a Roland O series.

Little & None.

I want one myself.

Hello Mr Biggles! (BTW, are you a commercial pilot, your DP gives me that impression) - I want the Flagship Fantom. Not the Fantom 0.

Now talk me out of it

 

[Biggles]

You will not get any support from me against buying an O.

Not a commercial Pilot just a lowly PPL, the image is of me in the pilot’s seat of a Piper Warrior that I had flown into Barton Aerodrome near Manchester with a mate to attend a Flying Show, the Biggles refers to my love of the pseudo Captain WE Johns children‘s books that I used to read when I was a kid.

Go on, buy one.

Hello Brian!

If I may ask, why the Fantom 0? It doesn't have after touch, the analog filter, n/zyme engine and all zen core purchases (Juno 60) etc are not free. Plus I guess the build quality is light. Why not buy the Fantom 6 - the flagship (except for the price, of course)

Hi,

In a nut shell money, I can afford the 0 version but not anything more expensive, plus I like what I see
